For those who want to downplay his leadership don’t realize the impact it has. For two years this guy had to hear that he wasn’t good enough and that he never would amount to much but he put in the work and improved. Now he can hold not only himself, but the whole team accountable. This team has basically assumed his work first identity.

As a leader, Hurts, IMO, is the most complete one we've had at the QB position in my football watching lifetime. There are all different types of leaders. Hurts is the best mix or balance of all the different types. He leads with his work ethic, leads with his play, leads with his voice, leads with his demeanor. As long as Hurts is an Eagle, I look forward to watching him mature more and more.

Yeah i think Hurts is the most inspiring QB the Eagles had since Randall. Except poor Randall never had a team this good around him.

The Eagles have the best record in football and at worst, a top 3 QB in football this season. I don't think anyone that wasn't sold on Hurts is embarrassed or shameful. People get things right, people get things wrong. That's life. I am glad he has made several of us look bad with our takes.

Taking a message board this seriously and pounding your chest is truly what's embarrassing. 

So the Wentz club must be really embarrassed about pounding their mammaries over and over again, how Hurts would never amount to anything.

What I can’t stand about the Washers is they didn’t even give Hurts a chance.

When people like me had the common sense take that Wentz isn’t the guy… let’s give Hurts a chance to see if he is, these clowns dismissed him saying he sucked, was just a RB, and attacked those who were open minded enough to say "let’s see what the kid can do.”

Low iq circle jerk of haters that deserve all the shame and embarrassment they get.

And in 2020, I don’t care if I was the back up QB, Wentz still should have been benched.

I think Peyton Manning is a decent analogy for Hurts' leadership because of the inspiring others, work ethic, and the field general play-caller aspect. I'm not saying they are the same, just the same type of leader. Even the coach dad vs NFL QB dad is not the same but the same type of early drive and focus.

RGIII has turned into a good and entertaining analyst.

The fact that you were compelled to respond says it all.  In the future try to be a bit more humble instead of a Dunning-Krueger of football takes.

You must live a sad home life. I feel sorry for you. It'll get better one day. If not, you always have the internet, sport.

I was never part of the Wentz club, said he played like crap and didn't care that he got benched. I also didn't think Hurts would be good. 

It's possible that both can be true, but I know that's hard for some to understand.

All of you need to take a breath and think things out. People don't fit into nice simple categories. I was a Wentz fan - why wouldn't I be - the Eagles invested a lot of draft capital to get in position to select him 2nd overall. Wentz had all the physical tools but it turned out he didn't have the mental framework to handle the NFL spotlight. Goff isn't Peyton Manning and Wentz isn't nearly as bad as Ryan Leaf but the 2016 draft kind of reminds me of that 1998 drama.

I criticized the Hurts selection - I honestly didn't know anything about Hurts, I just thought there were other players that would have helped the Eagles more at that time - and that might still be true - at that time. But since the deed was done I was a Hurts supporter. The more I learned about him the more confident I became that he could defy the odds and develop into a quality player. 

I don't think I'm an outlier. I think I'm probably in the majority. I think the Hurts critics were more likely a very vocal minority. One of them posted on this board that what they were looking forward to this season was Hurts failing and proving him right. Seriously. I'm sure there are some critics of Hurts that still aren't sold - and I'm certain that for a few of them it's solely (gasp) racially motivated. 

I don't read every post on this board so it is very likely that I just missed it ... but I haven't seen one Hurts critic (except perhaps you) post that they were wrong.

I hated the Hurts pick.  I was almost 2 feet out the door on Wentz at that point, so that wasn't the issue for me.  My issue with Hurts was very simple.  When picking a QB via draft, you can go in a few directions.  With a top 5 pick, you can get someone who has it all.  With a later pick, you can go for a prototypical raw arm talent in need of some refinement.  Or...you can go for a highly polished, advanced passer who lacks prototypical talent.  In Hurts, they went with someone who lacked BOTH.  Why do that?  Then, his career gets off to a pretty poor start as a passer through 2 years.  Why be patient for a raw player who also doesn't have prototypical talent?

Well, they did it, were patient, and it is working out.

Announcer just now: Hurts ends his runs smart, doesn't take big hits & protects his body.

Most of the time, he does.  Early in the year, he didn't, then he really did.  Then in that one game, he didn't again on a few spots where I think he could have been more conservative.   This game he's protecting himself pretty well.

depending on what happens the rest of the game, he may get offensive player of the week 3 weeks in a row. 

MVP! MVP! MVP!

The man is a winner. 

Bow down!

He can get both. They’re not mutually exclusive.
