You are really stretching to make that one work. I can't even take the end of that seriously. We have to wait for Hurts to be in his 30's to be a better passer. To which he will still be in his rookie year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerolithe_Lion Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 TL;DR Jalen Hurts like to throw deep, but holds the e ball longer than any QB in the national football league. This is partly concerning, but also partly due to the fact he knows he can escape. The QBs on the left side are generally immobile, the QBs far right have some wheels.

Talonblood Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 It's put up or shut time for Hurts. It was actually supposed to be last year, but we gave him time. Now he claims that "this is MY team", which, of course, is BS. It's more Kelce's team than Hurts right now. Hurts has not earned the right to claim it's his team. That statement is stupid and arrogant. he has dome NOTHING to make such a claim. So, here we go again with giving Hurts time. Fine. I am pulling for him, but 3/4 of the way through THIS year, there had better be "put up", or else him and all his backers will have to shut up. Get it done, Hurts.

He hasn't done a damn thing to earn it. It's not his team until he proves it. I hope he does, but he hasn't up to this point. No more excuses this year- he has the WR's and TE to get it done. He better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another set of numbers: 3 1,764 19 and -1 That's the head to head comparison with the difference in games started, yards passing, TD, and INT. As in...in only 3 more career starts, Minshew has 1,764 more passing yards, 19 more TDs, and 1 fewer INT. He is unquestionably a superior passer to Hurts. And the irony in all of this is that he's not a good passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by that logic, Minshew is at least as good or better at passing than (in some cases, a decisively better passer) the following: D. Carr; Josh Allen; Matt Ryan; Carson Wertz; Jared Goff; Zach Wilson; and Justin Fields. ALL of which are starters. It’s a silly argument and I’m not sure why you of all folks keep espousing it. Also, Jalen’s QB rating as a rookie was better than Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields and Zach Wilson’s. So I guess Jalen was a better passer than those two as well as a rookie? Even though at least two of them were considered to be near-elite passing talents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the implication of the passing yardage differences are probably more complex than simply denoting who the better passer is.

Even though at least two of them were considered to be near-elite passing talents? Well, here's my issue if you want to compare Hurts to rookie seasons of other QB's... Let's look at Peyton Manning and Trevor Lawrence. An all-time great and an all-time great prospect. Peyton's rookie QB rating was 71.2. Granted, that reaches back to an era of much lower QB ratings, but that's still low. He set an NFL int record. He threw 575 passes and let it all hang out...he learned to be a high volume passer. Trevor Lawrence, same thing. 71.2...not a good rookie year. But again, 602 passes and he endured having an NFL offense that lived and died with his passing. Dak Prescott? Unlike Peyton and Lawrence, he was protected in a running offense with a strong OL as a rookie...459 passes. He also responded with a precocious 104.9 QB rating from that cocoon. Similar story with Russell Wilson. Only 393 attempts as a rookie in a running offense. But he also had an efficient 100.0 QB ranking. Hurts? In year two, he wasn't asked to do the things that Manning and Lawrence were as rookies. He was protected like Dak and Wilson. Hurts was both protected and bad.

You can't compare Troy Aikman to Dak Prescott as QBs via passer rating, as the number has inflated itself over QB generations. So no, that number doesn't make Dak Prescott a top 10 all time QB. But you can compare 2021 QB's to 2021 QB's off that statistic. So if you don't like passer rating, do you like completion %, total yards, deep ball accuracy, TD passes, TD/INT ratio?...because Hurts sucks in all of those stats too.

Ultimately, I don’t have a good response if I’m being completely honest. First of all Talonblood - I agree that he needs to show some substantial improvement in the next 3/4 of the season. But to be fair most of the people viewed as Hurts backers, including myself, accept that. Thrive. Hurts was viewed as a developmental QB. His passing numbers are nothing special. But he was mostly effective in moving the ball with his arm and legs in a run heavy offense last year. People want to discount his legs. Now he has to step up in his second full year in the system with a much better WR class. His mobility means that he doesn’t have to pass for 300 yards a game. He needs to improve, but not as much as some people think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson is a better runner with a more talented arm than Hurts and his inability to hang in the passing game has doomed the Ravens time and time again. We are trying to see this through with a less talented version of Jackson when the original copy isn't nearly good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
