I believe as a team you need to have the ability to attack teams weaknesses. If we are playing a team with a hobbled secondary like the Bucs in the playoffs we should be able to take advantage of them in the passing game which we could not. That is a massive problem in my eyes 

They got up on us and got physical and brought pressure. That helped against our rushing. It showed the main area Smitty needs to figure out if he wants to play every position. Just no need to do anything but single coverage with a high S. We need to create more issues than that to a defense…for sure. Their DT were arguably the top guys to defend the run. Beast big monsters they have in there.

Cardinals GM said they could move up a few spots from 23.

Sounds like a perfect fit for us at 18

Every excuse for everyone else.     But never the QB with Ham.  

FYI..  a team passes for 300 yards.  Rushes for 100.   The QB would be responsible for at least 75 % of the offense.  

Any QB who runs the ball a lot ....will have a higher %.   Means nothing ... QB needs to pass the ball for his team to be good.

Seems fair and accurate…..except for the part where I specifically mentioned him.

The 6-foot guard is getting a two-year, $800,000 deal with LifeWallet as part of a name, image and likeness (NIL) agreement. To top it all off, Pack was also promised a car as part of the deal. 

Near a million bucks for a college basketball player

You specifically mention him to make it seem like everyone else is to blame for his inability to pass at an NFL level.   The coach didn't call the right play and the WR couldn't get open.   Ohh and btw, the QB couldn't make the play because of the play call and the WR.  

Perhaps the play calling is limited due to the QB'S unable to pass?

You say I blame everyone but Hurts when I specifically said Hurts. Yet why you don’t see the issues everyone but Hurts was having is beyond me. To me that’s just like the barely fans and mass media…everything on the QB.

They get paid the most money and they run the offense,so wouldn't that seem to be logical???? I'm going to blame the LG because we didn't score 30 points?

I believe it’s a team sport. Dan Marino was a terrible player also. Never won a SB. ARod isn’t very good either.

Both could pass at the NFL level.  Hurts not so much.  He is in the league simply because he can run.  Great runner, escapes the pass rush.... normal QB skills, he lacks.   Otherwise there would be zero issue because everyone would be on board.

I disagree he’s in the league simply because he can run. I’d point to his elite level of intangibles contributing to that. I know you discount that stuff. Why you never have understood or seen why the SB team was so special(hint it wasn’t because they were the most talented). But I will point to Hurts passing for 338 yards and 3 TDs in his second NFL start. Not bad for a runner. I could also point toward him passing for 300 yards several other times. All this with the greatest WR room in the history of the NFL.

Other normal QB skills : like leadership…check. Not taking sacks…check. Bringing it in the film room and practice….check.

Seeing the field.... throwing the ball.   Without those 2, nothing else matters.  Your offense can't operate at full potential without the ability to get the teammates to run all the routes and put the ball there.

Top ten offense. Great converting third downs and making it happen in the Redzone.

I dated Marino's cousin for 12 years,I know him well. He could pass just fine. You must have different criteria from everyone else

When you know you lack job skills,in order to keep your job don't you work a little harder not to be fired?

First 3 drives in the playoffs...ran it 5 times, passed 5 times.   That's a perfect mix, should be enough for your QB to handle!

This feels like the Brandon Graham argument all over. Most on here were convinced he was a bust. I kept having to go around and around defending my belief in him. Absolutely don’t see us winning the big game without him.

Not really.  

Then all you guys know [Eagles vice president of team security/chief security officer] Dom [DiSandro], and there’s nobody better in the National Football League than Dom DiSandro about getting to the bottom of guys and figuring out guys and talking to guys and understanding who are risks and who are fits for this team. He knows our team backwards and forwards. He knows the players that fit for our culture, for our team, and our city.
