Don't you think top 5 is rather general, after all, there are two different skillsets for offensive linemen, run blocking and pass protection and the pass protection wasn't anything to write home about. They were 4th best Oline in the league. I don't think that's general You also didn't answer why we need to see what Hurts can do in his 3rd season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not obligated but you're the one that brought it up 31 minutes ago, EagleVA said: So they say, I saw a lot of pressure from the left side of the OL, and then there's Kelce in the middle who's given up pressure throughout his career,, personally I think the OL was grossly overrated. It's not just HOFers having slow starts, most QBs struggle in early in their careers, trust me, I can name othe HOFers that struggled, like Terry Bradshaw, Jim Plunkett, Doug Williams, Steve Young and etc. You guys just need to quit dogging the guy and see what he's he's going to do in his second year as the starter. I asked why we need to see what he's going to do in his 3rd season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire love circle is odd and frankly not professional. If ish goes south with Hurts and the Eagles need to move on next year, NS is going to look like an even bigger dope. A Sirianni has worn shirts featuring Kelce, Graham, Elliot, Sanders, Carmichael, Beat Dallas, etc... It doesn't bother me, but then again, I'm not always looking for something to complain about.

I know Sirianni has been wearing shirts of other players like a 12 year old fanboy. It’s a bad look. But you would approve of it. Hell, you’re were excited over accessories the other day. ... and you were disappointed nobody spritzed Hurts before his workout pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of you remember Troy Aikman's and Payton Manning's first year's? I sure as hell do and I can tell you, they looked a lot worse than Hurts did. If Hurts head is in the game I think he's gonna surprise a lot of you guys as long as the OL holds up. Did you really just put Hurts name in the same topic as Aikman and Manning? Please don;t even mention two HOF pocket QBs in any way with a RB trying to play QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Eagles were interviewing coaches in early 2021, I believe those coaches knew Wentz was on his way out and that the organization loved Hurts, plus he was going to start in 2021. Which is fine except for the fact when Brian Daboll, Hurts’s coach from Alabama was asked to interview, he said "Hell No!!”. Daboll is also the coach that pushed Saban to put Tua in long before the Championship game that Hurts was pulled in. 2 hours ago, brkmsn said: Sirianni has worn shirts featuring Kelce, Graham, Elliot, Sanders, Carmichael, Beat Dallas, etc...

He doesn’t need be Tom Landry, that’s a bit to much to ask from a younger generation, but being the HC of an NFL team, 1 of 32 in the world, you should have enough respect for yourself not to walk around the very few practices this team actually has with T- Shirts that have his players faces on them and having a "bro” handshake with his QB. The same QB who should feel the weight of the world on his shoulders, and the same QB Siriani will need to yell at during the games, not his buddy he plays poker with on Friday nights. Or in case anyone forgets, for the 1st quarter of the 2021 season, the Eagles were the most undisciplined team in the NFL. Now TBF, Siriani did turn the season around when he handed control of the offense to Steichen and Stoutland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallidrone Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I think that people see coaches and players and expect them to be one way and one way only. They place them in a box and that is all they can be. A coach can't fraternize with his players or wear apparel of them because coaches in the 70s and 80s didn't do that. They must yell and spit fire and their players have to fear them or else they will never win. A QB must be one way and one way only. The Lamar Jacksons of the world are an abomination to the QB position and will never win. Why? Because they have not before so therefore it will never ever happen in the NFL so why bother trying. Never be different because different = bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opa-opa Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Sorry to be a debbie downer again, but I'm starting to wonder if we are asking Hurts to do the impossible. Basically we are asking him to transform himself from a run-first quarterback to a pocket passer. Has that kind of transition ever worked on any other QB in the history of the NFL? Can Hurts even transform himself? Does he even have the arm talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traveler Vic Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We have improved our team through draft. Either Hurts takes a step up this year, or next year we have the ammo to go after another high draft pick QB. Until the season as at least half way, it is premature to listen to Debbie downers who are unwilling to accept possibility of QB improvement. Wishing Hurts luck this year with the better talent around him. Go Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmcginley7 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Everyone hopes Hurts is great, but it's obvious he can't play QB. So him giving some small glimmer of hope that forces us to hang onto him for another season, knowing it won't ever amount to anything, is worst case scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s certainly possible, but I still believe all the coaches knew Hurts was gonna be the guy and I’d bet Wentz’s agent let them all know he wasn’t playing for the Eagles ever again. There’s no way he gets benched w/o Roseman or Luries approval. I’m sure it was in the back of his head all season that as soon as he struggled, Hurts was gonna take his place.
