I know you guys want to be the first to break news and start a topic, but for the love of god post a link or tweet with evidence. It takes 10 seconds to google an article and post a link at least. Here: https://www.nfl.com/news/eagles-qb-jalen-hurts-out-vs-patriots-because-of-illness-not-covid-19-related Quote Eagles' Jalen Hurts sent to hospital, 'going to be OK' after late scratch vs. Pats because of stomach illness Philadelphia's presumed starter was ruled out against the Patriots shortly after kickoff and sent to the hospital with an illness. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni told reporters afterward that Hurts wasn't feeling well when he arrived at Lincoln Financial Field, but wanted to go through warmups in an attempt to play. With pain in his stomach lingering, the second-year-QB left the stadium to get evaluated. The team said the issue is not COVID-19 related, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported. "Everything's good, and he's going to be OK," Sirianni said. "He had pain in his abdomen, which, for a guy like that to tell us, he's a tough guy, so it must have been hurting him pretty good for him to let us know about that."

nipples Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 2 hours ago, Godfather said: Hurts accuracy and arm strength will always hunt him Accuracy is a result of mechanics, which can be coached. His arm strength is fine. May not have a howitzer but it’s plenty strong to be a successful nfl QB. To an extent this is also something that can be improved with better throwing mechanics. Better mechanics means more torque leading to improved velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like plenty of MLB pitchers can improve the velocity of their fast ball with training. All about how much torque is transferred to the ball.

They work on their celebrations and dances. The Eagles FB page loves posting all that stuff, there's more dancing and walking with "swag" then actual football content.

Bamabird Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 My gosh, ever since I joined this board, I am beginning to see why people bag on Eagle fans so much! Look, I am a Falcons fan too and we suck, but on that board we are trying to find a silver lining, here you guys are doing all you can to erase any slimmer of a silver lining. It is depressing! You have a young, healthy, QB with a heart of a bull and all you do is bag on him! Why no give him at least 6 games? You have the top receiver in college football, Heisman winner and bag on him because your backup QB that is running for his life can't get the ball to him! And all of this is happening in the freaking preseason!! Lighten up and wait until the season starts at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all of this is happening in the freaking preseason!! Lighten up and wait until the season starts at least! First, you're a Falcons fan not an Eagles fan. Can't be both. Second, there are different opinions on Hurts. There are fans who love him and think he's the future already and plenty of people talking about his strengths. There is a small segment that "bag on him." Most fans take the wait and see approach, he's a young QB and we have seen some good things but a young QB needs time to develop. My opinion is he has a lot of good qualities and every account of him says he's got great work ethic and displays leadership qualities. He showed some good things last year, made some good throws in his first preseason game this year. People are quick to make judgements but with a new coaching staff and system, we really just need to see him play this whole year and see how it goes. Even then, with two 1st round picks (potentially 3), the Eagles love being the "QB factory" and if there's a potential stud QB they will take him.

OMG, he missed a preseason game as precaution. The horror of it all!! This is just my opinion and I could be wrong, but I don't think they care about winning this year for real. Everyone says they're in it for winning. But this is a "rebuild" (I know, there's not a true rebuild in the NFL). Hurts was out so they also pulled a bunch of starters at the last minute and said why bother. They probably wanted to evaluate Hurts with the starting O line but if he's not in there, why bother risking injury to O line and others. This is an evaluation year. The new coaches and schemes, which players are going be part of Sirianni's plans going forward and which should be replaced. Is Hurts the guy? You don't want to risk Hurts getting injured or making his abdomen pain worse for just a preseason game. They know he's the starter. They also had no idea what it was when it came up all of a sudden, so best to take precaution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have grown up a long suffering Falcons fans. I became an Eagles when McNabb was QB. I loved watching him play!! After that I was a Falcons fan 1st and an Eagles fan 2nd. Just like I was raised a GA Bulldog, but attended Bama and I am a fan of both schools that hate each other. Bama is 1st and GA is 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
