Honest question.  Watching Josh Dobbs yesterday, what does Jalen Hurts do better than him as a quarterback?

Damn

Great "how the sausage is made” insight though 

I was coached, back in the Dark Ages, to drop a shoulder into the back of anybody trying to cut me. Seems that has never gone away.

Who didn't see this coming

Baker healthy may be pretty damn good there

Josh Dobbs does a way better Ryan Shazier impression.

Baker's better than Hurts. I would of loved to see what Baker would of done here with these weapons when he's healthy. 

At least your team got Pickett

Baker sucks. He’s a punk princess

I think him healthy is a 28/12 4k guy here. Nothing super special , but enough. Can never say he didn't have talent around him

There are a few QB who Hurts should outperform this season; if he doesn't perform better than all it should raise serious doubts about extending him:

Mayfield

Lance

Trubisky

Wentz

Mariota

Tua

Winston

Coaching matters and environment matters.

The world is littered with capable QBs that never really had a chance because of the organization that drafted them.

I don’t think Hurts is the future but how many NFC QBs would you take over him just this season? 
 

Stafford, Rodgers, Brady, Dak, Kyler

on the fence: Cousins, Baker, Wentz, Winston

That was throughout the game and tons of those complaints came in the 2nd half.  Not the 2nd string D.

It appeared that our DL was stonewalled, and LBs were caught up on blockers too.

But when it comes down to it,  the opening drive TD was a running QB converting 3rd downs with his legs. And their 2nd score iirc was a FG. I think the 2nd string D was at least effectively bending but not breaking if it weren't for the preseason running QB cheat code.

The LB's not getting off of blockers was an issue.  Taylor made a poor attempt and took a bad angle on the the long QB scramble.  There were other times where runners broke the first tackle and it seemed like the Eagles generally did not wrap up very well.  the most concerning drive to me was the last drive of the first half.  It seemed like Gannon wanted to play a super soft zone and just let them march down the field.  The zone defenders did not close in on receivers and get in passing lanes.

Would definitely take - Stafford, Rodgers, Brady

Would probably take - Dak, Cousins, Mayfield, Winston, Jimmy G, Goff

Would be about even - Kyler, Wentz, Fields,

Being better than those should not mean he deserves a big contract like Murray and Lamar IMO though

Because I'm sure he's saw Murrays contract and feels he should get the same or better

Would take all fence guys, but toss up with Baker and wentz....could care either way for them or Hurts atm

What position depth are you still most concerned with?  Corner makes me nervous (obviously like Slay, Bradberry, and Maddox) but after that I'm not sure who is 1st person up.

Also was a treat to watch Jurgens... Dude looks like a beast.

True and not one coach he had I could stand behind and say I'd like him to lead the birds

Jurgens will probably be my next jersey. Dude is insane already 

Wish they dropped House of the Dragon earlier this summer. Show looks to be great after one episode, just sucks how I'll have to decide between it and Sunday Night Football starting in a few weeks.

Backups at Dline didn't look well during both preseason games

Howie did a lot of bandaids that will need to be addressed next offseason

SNF depending on the game and you watch HOTD on Monday

I’d take Fields for the future but not just this season. I don’t get how you like Goff over Kyler but to each their own. I didn’t take into account jimmy G but he’s a toss up for me.

Yeah but you run the risk of online spoilers anytime you don't watch it the night of.
