BornGreen Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I’d say we need competitors in TC. Serious competitors too. Jalen can’t think this job is his. He had all year to work out seeing the field and making those improvements and he didn’t improve. It’s a real concern for wr development as it is his as well. Would a veteran FA Wr want to come here knowing his impact and success are hinged on his qbs inability to get him the ball? I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone has it. I think the fact that his teammates keep talking about it means it stands out to them. It could also mean they like him as a person and teammate, but can't find other positives to associate with him. I'm sure many of us have played sports, gone to school, or worked with people that are really nice and we like them, but they lacked talent, so when describing them to others we would say things like " hard worker".

That's certainly possible. I think if that's the case some "leaks" would start to come out that players aren't satisfied with him. Of course, once Howie decides to get a new QB then all of a sudden those leaks will show up as he gets the spin machine going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that sentiment, but I still have an issue with it. Jalen Hurts is nearly objectively incapable of winning an honest training camp competition. Everything he does well cannot be displayed in a controlled training camp environment in a red jersey. Any qb. ANY QB will sit in the pocket and toss a prettier, more accurate pass, roll left and toss a better ball, roll right and toss a better ball. That’s all you can really judge in TC and there is no way Hurts competes with ANYONE on that front. The either hand him the job, as they did in the back end of 2020 and for all of 2021, or the move on. Because he sure as hell isn’t going to earn it in camp.

What decent quarterback would you get that would agree to come here to be a "serious competitor"? Maybe if you are talking about a rookie but why would you waste a draft pick on a guy that you hoped wouldn't beat out your current guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Don't know if this is a thing you have in the States,but over here sports teams (amateur obviously), have something called Clubman of the Year award. You don't really want to be getting it. The work ethic thing grates a bit. These guys are professional sportsmen, full commitment should be the bare minimum at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't alone mean they will be good QBs. It's just a factor. I said I believe Jalen will work hard to improve, and make some improvements but I don't think it's enough.

Exactly, our own receiver room proves that. Quez and Ward are both guys who have become serviceable NFL players due to intangibles. In theory, Reagor should have more physical tools than them, but he doenst have the same mindset (at the very least) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your team has a young ascending QB on the cheap with cap space and draft picks, primed to start seriously contending as early as next year and yet folks like you will spend the off-season miserable and depressed about the status of this team. Only to realize in November 2022 what they could have realized in November 2021: the good times have arrived again in Philly and we can relax and enjoy the ride.
