Wentz absolutely has the higher ceiling and we saw Wentz play at an elite level for a season and then at times in other seasons. Hurts will have to go some to be more productive but I do like his character and he seems to have the right attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever EARNS the spot in training camp starts. You don't just hand it to anybody anymore. Whoever WINS that spot starts, and the ones who don't- sit.

Madriver Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Like Foles, his success here will depend massively on playcalling. Hurts' success in Philly is up to Siri more than Jalen IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely ZERO to gain from starting Flacco. I may agree with your sentiment, but not this statement. If for some reason Hurts turns into (post-Hoying-Mania) Bobby Hoying, then our young WRs would probably develop better with Flacco as the starter. So there is something to gain. But I won't at this time be making a case for Flacco to be "the guy." We drafted Hurts and moved on from Wentz. I think it would be incredibly stupid to not give this a legitimate shot. But if Joe Judge starts crying again and saying we are "disrespecting the game of football" by starting Hurts, maybe it will be time to pull the plug.

Hurts will probably win it, but he will not just be handed the position, which is a good way of running the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, by not naming Hurts the starter, they leave the door open for Howie to pull some more "QB Factory" shenanigans in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikepargo Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 The Coach said what he needed to say during a pre-draft presser. That is all. Hurts will enter Camp as the starter. If he loses that spot, we'll see a new QB at some point in the next offseason. Even if he keeps the spot, if he doesn't do well enough during the season, we'll see a new QB. But the comments weren't about that. Coaches & FO blowing smoke during pre-draft pressers is what's expected. It's also what's best. It would be bad pre-draft strategy for him to give actual information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Wentz was the answer. If he couldn't handle the competition then he wasn't. But Jenkins said that he felt they treated Wentz differently and that was before Hurts.

D-Shiznit Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Hurts is a very likeable young man. I really hope he can rise to the enormous challenge and opportunity he has in front of him. I'm not a big believer in his talent, but it's hard not be a believer in the person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyEaglez Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think this draft has kind of shown the Eagles are invested in giving this job to Hurts. The Eagles were playing coy when it came to naming a starter, because they didn’t want to show their draft plans, but with Fields on the board and Jones on the board they passed on both and got Hurts another weapon and it’s a guy he’s familiar with. They probably still take a quarterback at some point in this draft, but it seems pretty clear Hurts is their guy at least for now. It should also be noted that all of the prognosticators had the Eagles in the Watson sweepstakes, but later it was revealed the Eagles weren’t even in the bidding war. It just seems like people automatically throw the Eagles into any free agent rumor or trade rumor just to get a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 When they traded up with Fields on the board, Hurts was probably holding his breath! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
