If you broaden your thinking you will see that there is an investment of limited resources argument that has nothing … NOTHING .. to do with Hurts personally or Hurts’ performance. The trade off that has been described many, many times is whether it is fiscally wise to tie up $40 million to $50 million a year in a single player, thereby hamstringing your available cap to pay other players. The argument goes on to point at the haul of Draft resources that Seattle sent to Denver in exchange for Russell Wilson. the Achilles Heel of that "trade Hurts” argument is the downside risk that the Front Office fails to replace Hurts with a comparably good QB. But that risk is not a guarantee, only a probability that is less than 100% … how much less is subject to debate. There is no chance that the Eagles are going to trade Hurts. He is the franchise QB going forward. QBs get paid a lot because they are the most important position in the game. The Eagles have a great one who is also very young. They have what every team in the league wants when they don't have one. He's only going to continue to get better. The Eagles don't have to give up a haul of draft resources to keep Hurts. Counter to that as well is Seattle also wouldn't have traded Wilson if he wasn't demanding to be traded. This blog is the home of a lot of delusion of people who can't accept that Hurts is the QB and he is going to be the QB here for quite awhile. People discussing these out of the realm of reality scenarios where they move on from Hurts are just in full blown denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Dan Campbell turns around the Lions who started 1-6 and makes the playoffs, he’ll be a strong contender. Does Shanny enter the picture if they get the 2 seed? Down to his 3rd string QB and they just keep winning (though I don’t think they’re as good as they’ve looked) Any other candidates? Maybe the dude in Miami but they’ve sputtered lately so I think he’s out of it Most of the_________ of the Year awards are BS because it is such a team game but Coach of the Year may be the most ridiculous one. Clearly that is a conglomerated effort by a group of coaches. Frankly, I don’t think Hurts improved to the level he is playing at without Nick and Shane figuring out how to call plays faster. The running game is fueled by the dean of Stoutland University. If Nick gets credit for that or Gannon’s bend don’t break defense then he also has to take the hit for the early hiccups on STs, not just Clay.

Pay a different vet... Commit $20M? Role with another rookie contract... and commit whatever the rookie cap number says, which would vary by round selected.

It really isn’t any different than Chip or Bud, or Skip Horned toads not frogs. (Which are neither a frog or toad). Knew several kids in the South growing up whose dads’ nickname for them in grade school was "Tadpole”. Bubba was the most common. Can’t recall any Skip, Chip or Bud.

I'm not saying it is or it isn't. I'm saying those are the three options. (Although, I guess a 4th option is to trade for a different highly paid QB and commit both $ and draft capital to the new QB, like the Broncos just did.)

I think it’s Sirianni’s to lose, but we all remember Doug getting robbed by McVay in 2017.
