They shouldn't be. Was it better? Sure. I liked that he hit the middle/left side of the field. He still ran a few times. He still bailed and went right. He didn't convert the third down (which got bailed by the penalty). While a good drive, many of the issues were here. More than anything I'd like to see how he does against good teams in the season. We all saw how he looked against Atlanta. We all saw how Bradford looked against GB in preseason. Something to build on and more encouraging than not, but let's cool our collective jets. No pun intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of like to see another series, but after taking that hit I know why they didn't lol hopefully they give him a few series again next preseason game. The series had that Atlanta game feel. Fun preseason game overall Again it’s a small sample and no reason to over analyze anyway, but here we’re are complaining about injuries when the pocket guy on the other side is the one who got hurt. Another guy many of you wanted over Hurts. Injuries happen in the game. Many of the same people swearing this guy will get hurt are the same people who were praising Wentz for trying to run over safeties. Hurts got out of bounds and the Jets hit him late.

You mean it’s okay not to brand a guy quickly!?! Funny cause DUM was trashing the guy over some tweets, but actually watching him do something good we say "let’s wait and see.” Sure does seem odd to claim it’s only okay to wait and see on a guy when he does something good. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, his need to constantly stretch a play instead of throwing it away is his weakness. It's why he won't ever match his potential coming out of school.

To me this all is less about style of play and more about winning football games. Still there have been plenty of people on this site who have excused and dismissed every part of Carson’s weaknesses, but many of those same people have been extremely quick to point out Jalen’s flaws while never giving a complete analysis of the player as a whole. In the end though it still comes back to winning. Bottom line if Hurts isn’t winning then he has to go. If Sirianni isn’t winning then he has to go. If Howie’s teams are consistently losing (and they aren’t) then he needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't very accurate either Think he's gotten 27/7 three times in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 It's preseason, but Hurts sorta looked like a functional QB on some of those plays. He actually took the snap, set his feet, stayed in the pocket, and delivered. Basic stuff, but still incremental improvement. Still has the issue with taking everything out of the pocket to the right side though. Still seems to be impatient before leaving the pocket, too. Small sample size.

EazyEaglez Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 How does anyone who thinks that Hurts is trash say they want him to succeed? Stop lying you want him to fail, because you want him to be replaced. You’re only fooling yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason his ceiling is that high is because of his running. Without the running, barely top 20, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone has to either be complimenting Hurts, or they have to be trashing him. Apparently, merely assessing where there are both pros and cons isn't an option.

Jalen Hurts is not without criticism, but, some people around here are never to shy to rip Jalen, but pretty much shut the eff up when he does well. I just call people out on it. The only people who seems to be offended are those who might be doing the very thing I’m talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
