    Getting ready to walk out the door to head to the stadium. Same thing I said five years ago....when I get home, I'm either going to be really depressed or extremely jubilant. Later gents.

He did not say he didn't have a brain, just pointed out he is not using the tools available to him.

Lol you guys are so cute when you work together.

So that's it. I got your buddy suspended and you can't get over it. Maybe grow up? 

4for4 has been just as snarky to me as he has to anyone else over the years. We have been cordial, and we have been enemies. He flips that switch seemingly at random. And when its flipped to enemy mode, he will follow you around and make unprovoked passive aggressive comments for months and months in various threads, and even different sections of the board. 

But guess what- you ignore it. You discuss things as normal without responding to the fighting attempts all the time, and eventually things are smoothed over, or forgotten. And everyone co-exists. And you get some good posts out of him.

There is no need for reporting, suspending, and banning.

Whats worse is race baiting, and attacking indiscriminately when people arent even involved (like that time you pretended Wentz_Era was anti-Hurts for no reason), acting as if people are doing things they are not, personal attacks on family (even deceased family), Being an idiot who says stupid things, never adding any value even when you attempt to talk football. And somehow surviving all of it while everyone else gets banned. You and your "gang" are the lowest of the low around here. You dont deserve the control over the mods and preferential treatment you've had. You don't even deserve to be here.

I have told him numerous times to tone it down, in PM and right here in the blog. 4for4 and I are not buddies. You just suck.

We have admitted it, multiple times, in both Hurts threads.

He still had them at in the top 10 to 12 range for 3 of the 4 seasons he was the coordinator.  Losing Brown, White and then Joyner definitely lead to the decline.  

And Simmons. And Allen.  

 

But, they also didn't make the playoffs after 1992... which was the point CE was making about Schwartz.  Exceedingly small sample size with Bud Carson.  1 playoff.

Fair enough. But how about if the Eagles hold the Giants to less than 350 yards and 14 points? If that happens, will you stop complaining or will you immediately start imagining how the 49ers (or Cowboys) are going to light us up because of Gannon’s coaching style?

So, yards are still important.  I guess thats how Ill respond.

Yards mean TOP and we cant willingly give that up.  I feel that too often, we do willingly give that up.

But no, 14 points is a helluva performance all things considered

How are we working together, because we are on the same side of a discussion ??

So are you and @jsb235 working together seeing as you agree with each other ??

Dude you said their stats were "pretty close"

Theyre not.  Full stop.

It’s ok to admit other QBs had good years, even those in our own division. It doesn’t make you less of a fan you know.

Hurts has been lauded (and rightfully so) as a great runner and great at protecting the ball.

Jones, though having 45 less rush attempts, had only 52 less yards. Jones had a higher YPC, 5.9 to Hurts 4.6. Hurts had nearly double the TDs. 
 

Passing wise, yes Hurts had 500 more yards in 1 less game. Jones had one less INT in 12 more attempts than Hurts. Jones had 7 less passing TDs.

 

Hurts obviously had better numbers. But Jones really isn’t that far off. Mahomes played 2 more games than Hurts but had 1500 more passing yards. That’s far off.

Considering that most of the acrimony stems from one group defending Hurts and the other group relentlessly attacking him, i would argue that if one group has to go, it isn't the one you think it is.

One group can’t let go about Hurts. Anytime he’s brought up, you and your band take it as a personal attack on the guy. Even today, not once have I made a disparaging remark about him, but you and mike are taking it as though I said Hurts sucks. It’s baffling

The issue is, you confuse criticism and attacking.  No player on the Eagles is perfect, and none are above criticism, including Jalen Hurts.

No one has criticized him recently, and the most reason discussion in the Hurts thread was about him protecting himself so he does not go down the Lamar and Newton path.

This is from the folks you call haters, we want him to protect himself and be available to play 17+ games per year.

He has a lower interception percentage, similar rushing yards.

Please tell us the stats that are not close.

I just did, Mr Numbers guy.

Youre always johnny on the spot with stats, he has a lower completion percentage by less than 1%.

Now do yards, TDs, QBR, Pass Rating.

 

No reasonable discussion can be had when a group like that takes every Hurts discussion in the same direction. Demanding people who doubted him apologize constantly for it.

Look at @e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! initial response to my comparison, he dove into the yards per completion and rightfully pointed out jones was much lower thus he makes safer throws. And he’s absolutely right, it was a great point.

This. 

@TorontoEagle " Jones has some comparable numbers to Hurts, but Hurts is way better in other categories "

@Mike31mt and @jsb235 " Why do you hate Hurts "

Uh oh the Hurts Squirts gang is back

Because a few of you cant take it when your buddies are wrong, you feel the need to jump in and interject, like rght now.

Let Toronto Eagle make his own arguments.  I provided the stats that show Hurts, in 1 less game, was far more productive than Jones.

Hurts is better, and its not close.  

The group thing does happen...

The Giants offense by Dvoa was ranked 10th by the end of the year. Which, considering  where Daniel Jones was last year and the amount of weapons they have is pretty impressive. Their defense wasn’t good. but they’ve had a bunch of injuries this year and guys are back now. That first Eagles/Giants game McKinney was out, Adoree Jackson was out, and Leonard Williams was out. I tend to believe this game is gonna be much closer than that first one. I still think the Eagles are gonna win it but I think it’s closer than we think. I’m guessing it’s probably gonna be a 3 to 7 point win by the eagles.

You literally bring up Hurts time after time when hes not even part of the discussion. And then you guys have the gall to call other people out for being sensitive. 

Thats called projection.

Ill start pointing it out for you so that maybe it registers

Hurst leads in all of those, already been acknowledged by @TorontoEagle

Jones leads in interception percentage and yards per carry.

 

Back to the original point, Jones is not Hurts, but he has not been garbage this year, and does not have near the skill guys Hurts does.

AJ Brown, Devonta and Goedert >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Slayton, Richie James and Daniel Bellinger.

He hasn't been right since that Burfict hit

I actually think we win by 10 or so. I just think we’ll get a bit of a lead and force the giants into plays they don’t want to have to make. They just don’t have the horses to keep up with us

Yep, the argument is Jones is not garbage this season.

Yes that's why Hurts stats are far better than Jones, and not close

Are you going to die on the YPC stat, and the <1% completion percentage stat?

 

How do they compare per game??
