An ankle injury for a running QB is like breaking an arm for a passing one

Hurts can twist an ankle very easily on sneaks,so he needs to stop that BS immediately

Games coming up against Giants. Think they wouldn’t love to get a twist on that ankle?

That's why we have staff and coaches and a med crew to make those determinations. IDK of any athlete that wants to sit on the bench, maybe you do. Future paycheck are based on STATS and when you voluntarily limit those you are going to have a mutiny

What??? he sprains or breaks an ankle and he is OUT. So we need to sit him from now until week 18. would Hurts be happy if you sat him for the next 6 weeks??? Or tell him he is not allowed to do sneaks?

If I had a crystal ball and my choices were sit Hurts the rest of the regular season because he’d get injured. I would. I’d rather have a lower seed and Hurts starting.

Nope. Can’t do that. But like you keep pointing towards AJ bad game. I’m fine with his production being what it was. Forcing him wasn’t going to help. It’s football. Physical game. You can’t stop everything. Ceedy Deuce laid the wood on a big hit…got injured. Nothing you can do. But you can control some things. That you gotta do. Davis wasn’t out there being overplayed to start his career. That was all intentional. They were conservative knowing the rookie body wasn’t ready to play 75 percent of snaps all season. That was wise. Still got hurt.

Well it's piss poor scheming if you can only get 7 yards from your top WR. See there is the limitation that guy was talking about. Now the next few games were something like 56 and 46 yards. he should be over 100 with Goedert out,so in fact Hurts rushing is limiting AJ Brown which was what was being pointed out. Nothing to do with W's or L's,it's that AJ's potential is not being reached

OH the fans and the FO gonna love you bro HAHAHA(I would watch my back). Hurts gonna love you too HAHAHA incredible. Let's tank so we can offer Hurts less loot

Players always want individual stats. Can’t do everything for that. Team first. Always an issue. Like Fletch situation and Hargrave. Pending FA. They will be paid on penetration. We need that sometimes. But clearly we needed them to hold ground and defend the run better. So those things conflict. It’s an issue. Cox can very well do it too. But had to bring in others because of the situation.

Saw Hurts have it last year at the end.

Yes you can, you do as much as possible for them. It's why they are playing the game. Stats=bigger contracts.You should know this already

Yeah let's sit Hurts,kill off any MVP shot he may have,I'm sure he will understand

Titans were a rushing team also. I can’t deny that running the ball limits passing stats. Peyton Manning O would give more opportunity. That’s clear fact. Add in Chip Kelly why not? Just go Hurry Up always. Get like two extra possessions a game with his O. 

But seeing AJ having actual more statistical production than he’s ever had is really pretty thin point to make saying he’s limited  by Hurts.

IDK that AJ ever had a 7 yard game with the Titans(and I'm not checking,but I am doubtful)

Doesn't matter what he did in Tenn. What matters is his POTENTIAL is not being reached(and it wasn't in Tenn either) Wonder how AJ would do with Allen or Herbert. My guess is he would be over 800 yards by now. If you are an 1800 yard WR and get 1100 you are being held back

I mean really? He’s having his best season. You really reading stuff about how bad things are for him while he’s doing his best? Agenda for Hurts haters. That’s all that can be. Guy having an unbelievable season. MVP run here. Hurts is straight killing it. Just nitpicking trying to find complaints. How about I got one. Our offensive coaches aren’t the best. Nobody thinks Siri or Steichen are elite O minds. Sean McVay would be getting plenty more out of our O. That’s a fair point right? AJ is limited by our decent coaching. If we had O genius running things he’d be producing more.

Out for now HF

He missed games injured and had zero. Fact

Oh back to the "haters" name calling again. That's what kids do when they run out of explanations 🤣

DUH it's rather obvious if you are out you get zero. please

Antonio Brown arrested 🤣

I’m mindful of my players wishes. But can’t cater to that. Just can’t. Job is get wins. SB where Carroll forced the throw to win comes to mind. He thought too much there. Deliberately wanted to make Wilson the hero. I believe this. Wilson was his future in Seattle. Beast Mode wins it there though. Got cute. Lost big.

Looks like Davis was a full go today

The nice thing is with Suh and Joseph he doesn't have to take many snaps

Imagine my surprise

Why does it always seem to be the WRs?

Do we push Hurts for him to win MVP? Not what we need to do at all. Team winning comes first. I’m not playing him in a pointless week 18 game. I’m fine with limiting him as much as we can to win each week from now on. Up three scores in the fourth I yank him for sure. Don’t care about him racking up stats for that award. Just can’t think like that.

That part is fair points. Actually a team always losing has to throw and take chances all second half. That’s the best place to be for a WR racking up stats. Is leading is hampering his stats. Us running is hampering his stats. Our coaching is hampering him. Still having a career season and top ten even after just recovering from injury. I’m fine with all that.

Well he had low stats because he played injured. Obvious too I think.

You know some in Pittsburgh say it was the hits that sauced his brain. I thought he was just a diva. Big money allowed it. But some in the know say concussion changed him.

Fletch is an interesting player to point out some things about. Everybody seemed convinced he was over the hill and done. Lost steps because of age. I wasn’t as convinced. Rosie made comments the last several offseason about him. The statements were basically focused on offseason fitness. That Cox needed to put in much more effort towards his body the more he ages if he wishes to maintain his level of play. I’d say very accurate just truths about NFL players aging. But I also took it as Rosie was disappointed in Cox conditioning. That he showed up out of shape last year. When getting older he needs to be doing the opposite. Think his conditioning was the major factor in his performance more than his athleticism declining so greatly.

Think we are seeing that this year. He still has it.

FL as far as AJ stat wise. Your fantasy team needs points in the second half. Take away coaching or QB. What’s most important is score. Team down two scores always puts up the most passing stats compared to any team up two scores. So having the lead so much has held AJ back the most. All that second quarter scoring cut into his fourth quarter stats. Right?

Opposite for RB

Us killing clock winning at the end is hurting guys stats.
