    Doesn’t matter who’s the QB if the Oline can’t block, the WR’s can’t get open, the coaches can’t coach and the GM can’t identify talent. 

  • So we had to listen to an entire week of "He runs too much".   What will the talking points be this week?  Jalen and this Team can win in multiple ways.  Stop trying to put him in some box where he on

Where does he rank in attempts ??

Ok idk where you’re getting these averages from because he’s never played an entire 16-17 game season. So you’re trying to fill in and guess based on his average? That’s so shady and reeks of bias. 
 

but let’s just say these imaginary numbers are spot on. Let’s just say he is on par with how he performed this year with hurts with last year with tannehill (even though he’s performing better)….. maybe there’s a comparison there. Maybe you could’ve compared hurts to tannehill with hurts making the leap tannehill made when he went to tennesse. Doesn’t sound that out of range right?

 

but ya’ll didn’t even go THAT far. Tannehill is a decent starting qb. If you want, you give him that "game manager” title you guys love so much. THAT was even too high a bar for Hurts to reach. Who’s name kept getting thrown out?

 

”the REALISTIC COMPARISON is Tyrod Taylor. That’s the best he’ll ever be.”


😂

 

One guy thought he had a brilliant comparison and the rest of you ran with it like a bunch of sheep  

 

 
 

Wrong

There is a group of people that have an agenda against Hurts.  It's been obvious for along time and now that he is having this MVP year as the best player in the league it's become all the more clear.  

not only do they have an anti hurts agenda, they ruined this board for a good 2 years.

I don’t know. But he seems to be middle of the pack in aggressiveness numbers.

How does intended air yards differ from air yards? He’s higher than Mahomes in IAY, that seems odd

I assume intended air yards is pass attempts, while the other one is completions.

How is a differing opinion ruining the board ??  To have a discussion, you need differing opinions.

I couldn’t find the exact answer but i found this site that breaks down attempts 10+ to 50+ yards and from quickly doing some math by adding each column for each player it looks like he would be ranked 5th in attempts over 10 yards.

You did not see the pre draft discussion then.  He was to slow, only a slot WR, we did not know what we were watching and how it would translate to the NFL.

@Outlaw @Ray75 and @Dwide Schrude can all back me up on this.

 

Maybe it was similar in kind but not in degree. I wasn't involved in the board discussions around him but I do remember that, at least generally, Jefferson was widely projected as a guy whose ceiling was as a slot receiver in the NFL, although still the 3rd best receiver in the draft, so he was never seen as as scrub. However, it seemed like the wider community were pretty quick to give it up to Jefferson when he balled out as a rookie. The comparison to Hurts is a nebulous one because we're usually talking specifically within the context of Eagles fans. Now, the wider community of NFL fans were more hesitant to embrace Hurts than they were Jefferson, but they never like us, so that's kind of par for the course. The weird thing was how the fans of Hurts' own team were very loathe to express any optimism that he could be a productive QB, even well pas the point of his demonstrating that he could.

Lloyd, we are not saying he is not an MVP candidate, and not saying he is not playing well and exceeded my expectations.

This discussion is about him making AJ or anyone else better than they are, which is utter nonsnense.

AJ Brown is a stud, has always been a stud, and is so because of AJ Brown.

Damn man give the guyva chance! What has he not done this year to prove a point as a 2nd year starter? You guys are just completly shitting on him and giving everyone the credit for his improvements. You making your presence know that you're you'll be one of the first "I told you so" guys the moment he has a bad game. You and a few others are giving all the credit to his supporting cast and poor defense as the reason for Hurts success. 

Did you all know that Mahomes has throw 511 passes compared to Hurts 388 this year? So I did some math by averaging Hurts stat line if he had thrown the same amount of passes. Obviously this is not an argument and is meaningless. I’m just bored.

Mahomes: 336-511, 4160 yards, 33 TDs, 11Ints

Hurts: 264-388, 3157 yards, 22 TDs, 3 Ints

Adjusted Hurts: 347-511, 4149 yards, 29 TDs, 3 Ints

What about those that have admitted to being wrong and have been openly accused of being racist, multiple times?

Whether anyone has specifically been called out within the last hour or not doesn't matter. It's happened.

Foolish, but it happens.

Imagine trying to play the victim after all the venom you and your idiot friends spewed here for the better part of 2 years.  

Micah Parsons needs a good old-fashioned Buddy Bounty

AJ Brown is on pace for career bests in catches, yards, and TDs. I call that Hurts making him better (AJ makes Hurts better too)

It's ironic that a poster who questioned Hurt sexuality has what looks like Herbert's inflated cartoon of butt cheeks as his avatar. Nobody cares bruh! This is 2022… . You do you!

He is only doing that because he has been healthy.  As I have posted, the numbers extrapolated to 17 games are identical to his 2020 numbers.

I thought you didn't care what I had to say? Now you're initiating conversation like a fan girl.

In case it isn't abundantly clear, there is a distinct and very serious difference between not thinking a player will be good and accusing someone of being a racist.

I guess for some those lines blur together. Guess we know where you stand 😉

Maybe wait until an actual 17 games are completed. A WR can have 2 TDs week 1. With your logic he'll have 32 TDs at end of the season. What non hating logical fan would believe that? Give my man at least 2 or 3 more games to finish the season because hopefully we have the 1st round bye lock up before week 16.

I was 100% correct that Justin Jefferson was the most pro ready route runner in the draft in 10 years, the best WR in his class, and would be a stud in the NFL.

You don't see me running around being a D about it.

Not picking JJ was a huge miss on howies part. Water under the bridge, Howie has built a great team  despite the terrible misses in past drafts. I don't care about MVP and who wins it. The goal is winning it all. I don't think many thought the Eagles would be what they are but here we are with a team baring injury is going to be a tough nut to beat. I for one am enjoying the ride. The Phillies gave a taste but this Eagles team is looking like the real deal and Jalen is rolling like nobody expected.

No, I don't care about you.  If you stay something stupid here, as you have been for 2 years now, be prepared to get called out for it.

No surprise you of all people are downplaying Hurts part in A.J. Brown’s play. 😂

Care enough to keep talking, handsome. Do yourself a favor and put me on ignore if you're that flustered.

Glad you're okay with race baiting, though. Can't say I'm surprised. If the shoe fits and all.
