Shockingly like you said, our ground game didn't look good watching but we still got the 130 on the ground. It felt like we got a lot of small chunk yards (like 3-4 yards) but only a handful of 10 yard runs and not many longer. But hey they put up the yards and the points so that's all that matters really.

devpool Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Idk what game yall were watching where the run game was stalled in the first half. We had two plays of 10 plus yards in the first like 4 carries, after both they threw 3 straight times and lost possession. The run game was working but they were determined to throw the ball and they were rewarded with 3 points. Absolutely atrocious playcalling in the first half.

purplefiggy Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hurts’ problem of not seeing the field is compounded by his average-at-best arm strength. If you lock onto a WR and then don’t zip a pass in there with perfect placement, you give a defender too much time to react. results in missed opportunities, picks, and also exposing your WRs to vulnerable hits. and those flaws aren’t improving and likely won’t. im sure coaches in every level of football have tried to correct and then gotten comfortable with his scrambling ability to more than make up for those deficiencies. But in the NfL that overcompensation simply is t good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greend Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hurts has a few more games to prove himself this year if the jury is still out at this point most likely he's not the guy. But from everything reported the draft isn't going to be that great for qbs next year so then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was going to be a good draft for QBs then the answer would have been a straight forward one. But with it not expected to be a great draft for QBs, and it being stacked on defense, I'd go defense heavy and roll with Hurts for another year.

I'd go heavy on defense (if we can't make a reasonable trade) and roll with Minshew. (That's if Hurts continues to play like crap) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplefiggy Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I think the way the QB position is set up league-wide most teams end up in QB purgatory the position is so important, teams overinvest in draft capitol but most bust which results not only in not adequately filling that position but also not building the rest of your team. if you do hit, they cost too much to keep, again making roster building more challenging (but not impossible - you just have to draft really well most years). and still they can leave (wentz) or flake out (Watson) or decline (Wilson). I think threading the needle to me is the best option. Get a "good enough” passer QB (not hurts) and build a great team around them. can we get that guy in the draft without overpaying, especially with a "weaker” QB class? That would be my choice.

TorontoEagle Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Since the 1998 draft, only 4 players taken #1 overall have been on a Super Bowl winning team. Two of them are Mannings. One is David Carr (as a backup for the Giants, didn't play a single snap that year), and Eric Fisher the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with this QB draft is that the ones available when we pick have better upside than Hurts and we gain back 2 years of rookie contract play. Just because it isn't loaded with high 1st round picks doesn't mean it is completely bereft of talent that can help our team. Maybe, this is the year where QBs are drafted correctly (versus overdrafted). Just imagine what Siri and this system can do with a QB that can see the whole field and make the throws.

Both have proven to be good co-ordinators, but poor head coaches.
