Posted June 15, 20213 yr Do they not have Scouts and intelligent people that are highly paid and are supposed to notice this??-before they invest millions of dollars?
June 15, 20213 yr Just for peoples context https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/worst-nfl-quarterbacks-carson-wentz-sam-darnold-drew-lock/
June 15, 20213 yr Well Wentz was one of the worst quarterbacks in football last year and Hurts was a rookie. Both of them had to deal with receivers running the wrong routes, an offensive line in shambles, and a coach who wouldn’t run the football to protect his struggling quarterbacks.
June 15, 20213 yr I'm not a Hurts fan but he was a rookie thrown into a very bad situation last year. As far as Wentz that would be the Colts problem.
June 15, 20213 yr Howie and Jeff are (seemingly) banking on the hope that Hurts is Russell Wilson 2.0... by the same token...every QB has flaws to their game that "need improvement"...

June 15, 20213 yr I'm fine with a QB on a 2nd round deal having something to prove. Saw some good things, saw some bad. If he stays at that level, he'll be easy to move on from. But a $20+ million guy with that much to prove? That's a hell no from me. Good riddance.

I’m really not sure what they’re doing. When we were at 6 we were in position to move up for trey Lance. Maybe they only wanted Wilson as reported and knew he wouldn’t be available. It feels like we’re either hoping hurts isn’t terrible or setting up for a QB in 2021, but are our pickings really going to be better than 2020?

Not at this point anyway. It doesn't seem to be the draft to move up for a QB based on the class coming in to the draft.

Did the Thunder know they were dropping a league MVP and perennial all NBA player when they traded him to OKC? All you can do is look at your current situation and what that player is doing for it. James was the third wheel; they were committed to Durant and Westbrook. And Wentz was playing terrible and didn’t want to be here. Anything that happens after the trade doesn’t change what he was for Philly, and he needed to be shipped out for us to get better.

No it really wasn't. Add to that the problems that both Hurts and Wentz faced in terms of an ever changing OL and not very good WRs.
June 15, 20213 yr I strongly believe that when a QB has faith in his offensive line, he plays much better.
