Look, Hurts is generally everything I don’t like in a qb.  I want a 6’5” perfection passer with a big arm.  But Brees is one of the most elite, prolific passers in NFL history without those traits.  I fought hard against Hurts all offseason…but now that he’s shown both a willingness to prioritize being a pure passer and, just maybe, the aptitude to actually do it…combine that with the 4-0 start and I’m willing to enjoy the ride…for now.

In context it wasn’t really a boast.

I didn’t take it as a boast — just a bunch of QBs he is nothing like.

Yes... but on the plus side, if that's who he wants to become, then that's a good thing.

Man the rams OL is a mess

Weapons outside of kupp aren’t that great either. Kupp is on pace tonight for 14 receptions for 116 yards

Good for you.  Go for it.

Peyton asked Hurts what qbs he sees in a similar mold…he listed Rivers, Luck, Brady…NOT Lamar Jackson.  I like that.

That's probably Nick Sirianni telling a thousand stores about them every time Hurts does anything remotely similar to them. 🤣

Hey i work hard that makes me basically the same right ?

tampa and rams even show the path for a proven qb is build the rest of the roster

Have we not done that?

Which is of course nonsense

Rivers and Brady both had chips on their shoulders and early on Luck ran with attitude.

Right so go get aaron rodgers or something

if you are going to drop  coin it has to be for a proven commodity

On a separate note…that Saints pick.  It’s not going to be as good as it looks right now.  We’ve been down this road before with other teams’ firsts.

Its fantastic that it will likely be a pick in a range that a team with the record the Eagles are about to ring up usually would not sniff.  But I’d be surprised if it ends up being top 10.

It's a easy way to check on the roster and transactions.

I also like to get the Gamebooks.  A nice resource after the game.

I mostly use it for rosters, transaction confirmation and the injury report but occasionally I look to see if Fran has posted a video.  Homerish to be sure but Fran does nice filmwork. Really wish the Athletic would hire him to replace Sheil and supplant Bo Wulf.

Many good players have chips. Lots of mediocre ones too. Not a factor in the evaluation

You seem to think some random golf fan makes that decision, when the truth is, the only thing that matters is what happens on the course. 

Hurts is winning football games. You aren't winning golf tournies. 

Does Miles continue to run this well moving forward or was this a once in every 6 games for him? Basically, should I trade for him in fantasy.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell my students... you won't accomplish anything dreaming for it... you have to work for it.  There's no guarantee of success, but there won't be success if you don't work for it.  

 

So good luck.  And, personally, I want Hurts to end up at that level of QB.  Talk is cheap, the proof is in the pudding.

I think Hurts understands who he’s talking to and they might appreciate a dry sense of humor

Shiel works for The Ringer now. He writes for them and does a Eagles pod with Ben Solak. 

Solak moved fast and already a fantasy regular for Bill Simmons pod

He never has been consistent.  Ship him

At a certain point you maximize your abilities, no matter how hard you work. Thats kinda my point.

all that squatting wont make his arm better or speed up his processing

Yeah, he sounds like a 12 year old on it. Solak isn’t bad.

Depends on what else you have at RB

I almost went on the Eagles site today to check injury news. But I didn't. My boycott since they shut the message board continues. Does anyone go on there?

I went on the app for game stats recently because the nfl app doesn't show them anymore

Haven't been on the site for years. Used to be on it all of the time in the offseason for Eagles Live

Of course.  But, I want him aiming for pocket passer...
