The thing that drives me crazy about that ball, Tatum and fultz draft is the fact we moved up and gave that kings pick up. I thought at the time Tatum, fultz and ball in that order were the best players. However it was pretty obvious and known that the Lakers were all in on taking the local kid Lonzo ball. So you could’ve wound up with Tatum or Fultz at 3 if you just sat there. I would’ve been happy either one of them. And I liked fultz but I also like Tatum cause he was an athletic wing which was something the sixers could’ve used and used Covington in a deal at that point. I thought they were dumb for not just sitting at 3 and taking the best player that came to them and still having a future draft pick. 

less about fultz mentally just falling apart. More if I’d have been happy with any of those 3 so the move up i was less excited about. Especially when it then came out that not all the scouts really loved fultz and thought he was t a winning player. 

The 76ers have had many lottery picks and only Embiid to show for it.  They just aren't run very well.  I understand the Simmons pick as you'd think he could at least develop some kind of jump shot and he had a ton of potential.   But i never understood the hype on Fultz.

I know many probably won't agree but maybe it's time to trade Embiid.  Athletic guards and wings are what wins in the NBA, not centers even as talented and gifted as Embiid is.  If the right deal was offered I'd consider trading him now while his value is high.

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

I’m not caught up but just stumbled upon this and almost projectile vomited. You may be joking, but I can’t unthink this. Thank you sir!

You are gonna think this is crazy but i will dip doroitos the spicy ones in cottage cheese lol 

We are going to see an evolution of this Jalen Hurts in 2022.

 

 

I wasn’t sure if you guys knew or not but the only reason Hurts didn’t throw to Smith wide open every play was bc Smith really struggled against press coverage. Not enough time behind one of the best OL in the NFL to hit him on multiple deep throws. 
 

What a joke of a take.  Smith created more separation on a higher percentage of routes than any Eagles receiver I can remember other than TO.  Again - this was behind an elite OL (which I don’t think will be as dominant this year), and Hurts had no idea what was happening or where to throw it.

Hmm I dunno. I know Troy Aikman kept circling Smith and how far off TB was playing him in the playoff game and kept saying "why aren’t they throwing it to him?” but I think that was all Fox CGI

No we actually discussed this over on the Sixers thread on this board the over the past couple days. I actually brought a couple of weeks ago. Sixers wouldn’t never do it unless embiid asks out. Which i don’t see happening until after next year or the year after. This some logic in it if you believe they are stuck in this purgatory due to lack of assets and cap space. And believe you can’t get yourself to build around him and he’s gonna ask out anyway.

Tebow regressed year to year.  Hurts hasn't done that.  Since he first started playing as a freshman he has continued to improve year to year.  He has yet to regress he has so far only progressed year to year.  Maybe not to the instantaneous rate that you so desire but he has progressed nonetheless.

You’re a liar.   I never brought up the fact that you  touted the practices as important or more important than the preseason games.  You just now reminded me of that.  So you just outed yourself.  You bragged that Hurts looked good, according to sources since it was a closed practice, against the 9th ranked defense.  Which was during the preseason.  Not ranking defenses for the preseason.  JFC you’re dumb.  It’s not a joke.  I don’t need to make a joke.  I’m good enough at that on my own.  This time, you provided the material.  I just reminded people, since you are going after another poster for "parroting”.  You were bragging about ish you had no self knowledge of but only because of "reports”.  That’s the epitome of parroting.   
 

Its sad that there are fans out there like you.  It’s far from a joke.  It’s sad.

You gotta quit playing this game you're trying to play.  You act like you're operating a steamboat when in actuality you're riding in a air balloon and you're way off course because you have no Fing idea what you're doing.  So find a way to get down and settle down before you end up too far gone.

So many questions. Honestly this is amazing. I know everyone has you on ignore and vice versa, but this is top quality content.  Will you please elaborate more on the whole air balloon/steamboat analogy?  Personally, I’d rather ride an air balloon off course. Sounds like a once in a lifetime experience. Is this a threat?  I don’t even know. I’m too excited. Am I already too far gone?!

I too am Interested in hearing more about this air balloon steam boat analogy, very intriguing.🤔

It’s all fun and games until you pull a Donte Stallworth and drift in a hot air balloon into some power lines.

Bruh confirmed racism right here. 

How great would it be if Hurts actually did become a great passer? I’d be elated. It’s possible, I guess. But I think it’s safe to say he’ll never be a great passer. You don’t just start reading defenses in an offseason. Or all the sudden have a strong arm. Deep ball accuracy could conceivably improve. Maybe going from one read to two. But I don’t see him all the sudden going through all his progressions from a clean pocket. The best we can realistically expect is two reads, and some extended play making where he maybe keeps his eyes downfield instead of running. But that’s still not what I’d prefer in a QB.
