Bunch of talented guys that choke in the big moments and have no leadership or backbone that turn on each other at every sign of difficulty and blow off their coach while eating lunch in the car alone…..your guys.

My guys... 2017.   Dream team was your guys...  fastballs and a defense that was going to play with a lead all the time.   I like the middle of the defense set... DT, LB and S.   You like good 5th string CBs...with Omar Geather and Tim Hauck.  

Let's load up on specific positions we over value... and have scrubs everywhere else.  We need 6 DEs and 6 CBs... even though Lbs and S will be out there on every play.  Shocking the 2017 team where they got LBs and S...was a much better D???   Oh...the 2017 was not the best roster because of Darby and Mills...I forgot CB is all that matters...  Dream team style.

Read an article 3 QB's on make or break year. Hurts,Daniel,Tua(and why we got the extra 1 pick next year) The writing is on the wall

I want to see what Howie gets when he trades Hurts.  IMO,  it will be after next year's draft when a team misses on a QB.    Maybe 2nd round 2024 pick.   That would make 3 picks in that round.  Barring using picks in that round for the QB trade.

Kurt Warner….just some bum from the CFL that tried to play in the NFL.

These guys don’t belong. No Mas will bench them all day long for big armed Ryan LeaF. Just show me the arm.

Kurt Warner could read a D and make throws.    Leaf ,not so much.   I think you confuse actual talent... with height,  weight and speed.    I'm talking about talent in playing the game.  You can take a major league outfielder who can run and catch...but not play WR well as far as patterns, blocking, timing of routes, cutting, body position...etc.   Not everyone has the talent to do those things.

You take the super talented thug that only cares about fame. I look at all the non measurables also to make my decisions.

No. You take the guy like Hurts who can't do basic QB stuff...because you like the intangibles.    

You like the 2021 Eagles because they struggled and fought real hard vs garbage opponents with backups.   

You like the extra teams making the playoffs because you like the battle between the mediocre teams as opposed to me liking the shorter season and less teams making the playoffs so we can get right to that final 8 weekend where the battle between the absolute best teams begin.

Rudy makes a better story... but not better football.   Rocky was a movie,great story... Apollo and the Russian guy would win in the real world.

The real world, this team needs upgrade with some top tier talent to be relevant.   The intangibles will be a factor once they become relevant.  Difference between a good and a great team.  Talent can make you good... without intangibles it's hard to be great.   Intangibles without talent... you won't even be good. 

I believe Jalen Hurts is a winner ...because he made the league.   I believe that is his ceiling.   I prefer a guy who I would be dissatisfied with if he doesn't win the big game.  Raise the bar.

Also wondering what happens with Shew. he WAS a starter once,with a really CRAP team(not that we're better but he has starting potential). Even if Shew is better in camp,Hurts will start due to Howies ego

Umm... they can play football...they can read a defense and make throws.   They can do the functions of the position they play.   

Plus where does Brady not have strong enough arm??. You see highlights back where he threw the ball 65 yards in the air.   Hurts...full wind up and 52 yards.  No where close.    Your debate skills are getting soft.   Best thing for you will be once we get a new QB, then hopefully you come back to reality.  

Brady didn’t throw deep in college. Also Michigan had that pitcher at QB also with a huge arm. That was the scout report on him.

At QB you gotta have the intangibles. Need that leadership. QB it’s magnified so much more. Guy with the lesser arm like Hurts can beat out the big armed top pick QB in Wentz. Intangibles are/were huge.

Beating up 3rd string defenses. Still 1 read and run.

Brady with the Bucs. He;s not getting younger. he may become part owner of the Fins,but they aren't gonna play him. They need a YOUNG QB(maybe Hurts or Shew LOL)

Saints were the best defense in the league. He throttled them his first game.

At least that was realistic unlike the dream world you are in. This team has very little talent. We need ALOT more. Hurts is a place holder,get over it

I absolutely agree we need more talent. I believe Quez and Smitty will improve and be much better than last season also. Reagor not starting will also help. Really tough for anybody to do but so much with that to start the season.

Yep took Wentz place as QB1

Really need Miles to have a huge season. I could see it happening.

I’d say Tom Brady is more swimming in intangibles than he is supreme athleticism. He’s pretty good. Not fast. Not a cannon arm.

I like what House does with QBs. Just feels like a given he’ll be improved again as a passer this season. Get him a top WR and he’ll make an even bigger jump

LMAO he was QB 1 by default we had NOBODY else HAHAHAHAHA. They were already forcing Wentz out(DUH)

  Off topic https://youtu.be/q7j6CAgcEgE       Drummer in my first band. I think he did ok LOL

Hurts should start...  they won't get much for Shew .. Hurts needs to start in order to try to salvage something for him.  Need some fantasy stats and atleast one team willing to trade for him.

At QB you need to see the field and make throws.    That's first and foremost.  Nothing matters without that.  The NFL level of doing those two things is much different than college.

One more year... then the conversation will be back to normal QB stuff.
