Lol the 40 is the least relevant QB measurable I can think of. You should go be a Ravens fan. 

Jalen Hurts is the Eagles QB.   7 QBs in NFL history have run for more rushing yards in a season than Hurts just ran for.   Speed most certainly does matter, as well as weight and all the other combine and pro day measurables.

The Eagles went from 4 wins with a 30 Million a year QB to 9 wins and the playoffs with a cheap running QB. 

Do you know what team that you're paying attention to,  and who the QB is?

The Eagles did better than they did last year only 2 times in the last 13 years.

I do, do you? The teams he beat were garbage. On good teams the opposing defensive coaches are screaming, "he can’t read.” Minshew should have started over him, period. He did not earn the starting spot next year at all. When the Eagles show you by drafting or trading for someone, will you come in here and get your big platter of crow?

Hurts sucks as a QB. Wanna make him a RB? Sure. Go for it. Much higher ceiling for him in that role. At BEST he’s the QB for 2022. Guaranteed he isn’t starting in 2023.

Like always posting trash. QBs are suppose to be able to throw the ball with a option to run. Not the other way around. Look at the SB, where is your Running QB? Where was your running QB in the Conf Championships? 

Nursing a high ankle sprain and with Opeta at G.  Not hyping Hurts by any stretch of the imagination but let’s be honest, Hurts toughed it out to finish the season with an ankle that required surgery. (Agree the post you were responding to was nonsense.)

I want Willis as a first rounder.

There.  You're proven wrong.

See how easy that is?

The idea is that Willis is a great runner with a strong arm.  He's raw,  Hurts will be the starter in 2022 and 2023 and Willis should be trained in the next 2 years and will be less raw.  

Another acceptable option would be no QB drafted on day 1 or day 2.  D'eriq King on day 3.

Don't want a QB who doesn't run as well as Hurts.

5’ 8” D’Eriq King?  Let me assure you, one of the reasons he left UH was the QB challenge he was facing and most Cougar fans, like me, were "don’t let the door hit you on the way out”.

My problem with Hurts is he is a one read QB only. He does not read progressions, he does not know how to work a pocket and step up to buy time. He rolls out too quick. Not to mention hes just not very accurate. He will never be the QB we can trust to win with his arm which you need in todays NFL. 

We saw what happened in the first 1/4 of the season when we put the ball in Hurts hands 90% of the time. He just could not win as a QB. Its the reason why we had to change the offense to a run first scheme.

I truly think that was the goal by the FO. To find out what Hurts was as a passing QB and if they need to start looking for a QB which Howie was during the season going to Pickett;s games. I think Hurts rain is over. He might still be the QB next season if they cant get a replacement, but he wont be the future with this team.

What are you thoughts on Pitre’s partner, Woods.  Looks so light for a S and I though he took  some bad angles but the kid has some ball skills.  Baylor had a good secondary this year.

Im not talking about he can’t scramble well enough. I’m talking about pocket mobility to protect himself

Yes, Lynch and the Legion of Boom had nothing to do with it.  Wilson has NEVER been a "run first QB” like Jackson or Hurts. He can read a defense, go thru progressions and make strong accurate throws to all parts of the field. You’re a poster child for the morning-after pill. 

Neither Jackson nor Hurts were run first QBs in college.  Neither was Mariota.  Good wheels and dual action threats.  Dual action isn’t run first but a lot are one read and bail.  Problem is that so many QBs fit that moniker in the current college game.  These super fast 230-240 lb DEs in the college game is causing so many college offenses to play using run options.

I agree with the bolded. I strongly expect, even if they draft a QB in the first round, that Hurts is the starter next season.  I really hope they don’t draft a QBS in the first because there really aren’t any first round worthy QBs this year.  Doesn’t mean I am sold on Hurts, it is how much I don’t like the QB options this year.

Watched the Doug PC, and holy crap that was annoying. Seemed like every question to Doug was followed by 5 questions to Shad Khan about why he didn't fire Trent Baalke (who was sitting right there the whole time).

If he was effective from within the pocket, that would not have been as big a deal.

If they do, they'd be smarter to trade Hurts and let Minshew start.   Minshew can run the more traditional style they wanted to use at the start of last season.  Recoup some of the cost of the QB, run the style offense this coaching staff seems to prefer and get the tape for the young QB to study with what he'll be running not some college hybrid that's got no hope of ultimate success in the NFL.

I'm guessing that's Ridley's locker?  Considering the guy checked out for about 3/4 of the season due to mental health issues and reporters no longer have access to team locker rooms I'm guessing they are grasping at straws here.  If he was on a leave, no reason to leave any personal gear or anything in there.

Or he was traded to the Eagles.  Quick, someone get John Clark to PHL Airport.

Not to forget Hurts will have his most value right now with 2 more years on a cheap contract and coming off a season he made the playoffs.

That one reporter right out of the gate asked Shad Khan if they made an offer to another coach first, he tip toed around it and gave a long winded answer that didn't answer the question. Thought that was interesting...probably Leftwich but he didn't want Baalke as widely reported before he pulled out of consideration.

Howie even admits he tried too hard to keep the SB team together, but it doesn't change the fact that he rebuilt this team in 2016 and won a SB in 2017, rebuilt this team in 2021 and made the playoffs and has set it up for future success.

And if Hurts sucks as much as people say he does, that means Howie built a pretty good team to go 9-8 with a below average QB.

The less Hurts did (passing at least) the better the team did. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the QB.
