No QB is at that point in his career. Vast majority isn’t ever. Complete as in high level NFL starter? I think he is. And with a lot of upside.

The Blackfish Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Original Sin said: Mills playing like best rookie QB so far , I thought he could have landed in late rd 1 , he’s doing more with less He is. Some of the major college programs aren’t preparing QB’s for the NFL, especially coming from Spread, Air Raid, shotgun style where the coach is pretty much the QB, not the other way around. Lawrence, Wilson, and Fields weren’t even close to being ready to start, Fromm I know he was a later round pick, played at a top 10 college program in the country and yesterday he looked like it was first time he picked up a football. We have QB’s now that can’t do a 3,5, or 7 step drop, and they need the Center to call out the MLB, and the deep safety. Pickett was smart for staying at Pitt, he was involved in a lot of the play calling and he really matured this past college season. He may not have the upside of Lawrence or Wilson, but I bet his rookie season will be far more productive. Since Kiffin was in the NFL, I’m really curious about Corral and how he performs next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar Jackson is averaging 5.8 and most everyone would say that Jackson is an excellent runner. Hurts average in 2020 when he had half as many runs (63) was also 5.6 yards per carry. Accept the fact that you really don't want a QB to run at all, and as a result no amount of success by Hurts as a runner will make you happy. Again, just because I can identify a fraud doesnt make me biased or whatever I gave Hurts a chance. Hes a fraud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncos Saints Giants Jets Washington Giants I wouldn’t have too much faith against anyone in the playoffs, but at least we are growing. Like a flower. They haven’t played a legit NFL QB since Herbert, hopefully Dak starts the last game of the season, the Eagles need to see what a legit NFL offense looks like before they head into the playoffs.

Nivraga Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 2 minutes ago, Bacarty2 said: So your comparing week 7 running back against GOAT Tom Brady in the playoffs. Got it. 1st Tom Brady is not - never was. And even if so he's not unbeatable. 2nd it was HOFer LaDanian Tomlinson at his best along with HOFer Drew Brees not just some week 7 running back. Generally speaking I don't believe in a "GOAT" in anything but I'll make an exception to say this - you may be the GOAT tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a problem if the team moved on from him at any point, especially if we can get one of the QBs in this draft. I'd never give him a 2nd contract. I was much more interested in what you might think was "good value" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siriani understands the game needs to be fun too. That was truly happy moment in a divisional game. It may not seem like a big deal but winning teams have that intrinsic quality that excites players. It was a Saint Nick moment. Great to see the special tradition continued in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Saint Nick - it was nice to see Foles get the win yesterday. I don't usually follow and/or root for ex-eagles - but Foles will be forever special and I want him to do well (unless vs the Eagles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we are 0-4 against playoff teams all in the first quarter of the season when they went pass happy with a QB that isn't good at passing. If they play those teams now, it will be much more competitive. As long as they stick to running the ball of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me a complete QB who is also a franchise QB needs to be above average passing at minimum even if he excels at everything else. Hurts is not an above average passer.

The Blackfish Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 47 minutes ago, vaeagle2 said: college also better with DPI calls , 15 yards not the god awful spot foul. That, and the one foot in rule I like better as well, I think you’d get a lot less video reviews if that was the case. Being down without being touched I hate, it’s lead to some cool highlights in the pros. The college sized football should be standard for the NFL, but college should have the same width hash marks as the NFL. In the offseason Smith and Waddle both worked with an NFL ball, not for the size difference, but the NFL ball is harder to pick up in the air since it’s missing the white stripes of the college ball. I think it’s obvious Chase being off an entire season didn’t work out with an NFL ball, he dropped a bunch of passes in pre season because he couldn’t see it at night in the lights.

What possible good comes from doing so? Are you not going to watch them if they make the playoffs? Of course you aren't. So I say enjoy the ride. We have twice as many wins as any of us expected, and three 1st round picks in the Draft and a coaching staff that has exceeded expectations.

Sanders can't be relied on. Howard and Scott are nice role players. Get a legit RB behind this line and you could have a 100 yard rusher every week. I'd love to see them go after Leonard Fournette on a 2-year deal, draft someone like Isaiah Spiller or Kyren Williams and mix in some Kenny Gainwell....that would be a nice backfield.
