What if he duplicates last years playoff performance ??  You would be on board with him getting a mega extension ??

Of course he needs to play well in in the playoffs, but you don't throw the baby out with the proverbial bathwater.  He's a top 5 quarterback and an superstar athlete.  They'll lock him in now or pay tens of millions more later.

And Peyton Manning didn't win his first playoff game until his 5th season.

So you are a bigger Cougar fan than an Eagles fan? 

You’d rather support a player who played one year for your college team 5 years ago and just holds a clipboard as opposed to someone who could actually help the Eagles win a Superbowl?
 

 

Nope.

Me having Minshew Mania has nothing to do with which QB I am supporting for the Eagles.  You have to be a Cougar fan to understand.

I mean yeah sure but I'm pretty sure he's still hurting so I'm not sure what to make of it. He hasn't just miraculously recovered after we were told he was in so much pain playing. 

Kind of feels to me that yes he was injured, but he’s basically healed. It also feels to me like if those games he was held out of were playoff games then he probably would’ve played. That’s why he played the Giants game even with the limited offensive system. I thought they were running that to protect Hurts (still was a possibility) but now I suspect that they were also doing it so not to show much to the Giants because they thought they would meet them again. Some people made way too much of this injury to promote their (Hurts is always injured we need a new quarterback who sits there like a statue) type of bs rhetoric. I’m sure those same people will overhype any playoff incomplete pass as well. Jalen’s the only Eagles starting quarterback since McNabb that has appeared in back to back playoffs. The irony of that is since McNabb the majority of Eagles quarterbacks have been the mostly statue quarterbacks these guys wanted but they couldn’t stay healthy enough or consistent enough to keep the darn job. Playoff quarterbacks do not grow on trees. If you have one you keep them even if it makes a certain portion of the fans cry a lot.

Getting to the playoffs is an achievement in and of itself, but playoff performances do not necessarily dictate if a team will extend a player or not especially this early in his career. With that being the case I highly doubt Jalen’s performance will be anywhere close to as bad as it was when he was last year especially since Reagor isn’t one of his go to targets. It’s a weak argument and regardless how any of us feel the Eagles are the ones who will make the choice on an extension. Ultimately it’s kind of funny to me the same people worried about Hurts play in the playoffs regarding his extension are the same people who were happy Wentz got an extension when he never played one playoff moment prior to his extension. 🤷‍♂️

Orthopedic specialist says it's typically a 6-12 week injury.

Quote

Jalen has a shoulder separation, basically an AC join strain," Dr. Lyons said. "It comes in six flavors, six is the worst and one is least bad. He's got between a one and a two, so structurally things look good. The only unfortunate part of this is it tends to be a nagging injury. So for the average person, six to 12 weeks before their back to full recovery."

This to me is a good report because a) his shoulder is structurally sound (meaning playing on it doesn’t risk more injury and b) he has to basically play through pain and that isn’t an issue because football players do that all the time. If it’s too discomforting then they probably just give him something for the pain, but I doubt it will be once that adrenaline starts pumping. Heck he played immediately after the injury occurred with little to no effect. I think he’s good to go.

QBs come back in a few weeks from these injuries all the time, and a lot of time they are much worse (need to immediately leave the game.) The fact that he continued to play is a really good sign that it wasn't very serious, and that he will be fine the rest of the way.

He's tough that's for sure. So from what we've seen from the end of that Bears game, and the last Giants game, I agree I think he can play through it.

How is it an still an issue? Because some fans are still concerned? Not only has he been a full go in practice without limitations, but he's been doing drills with the QBs and the RBs. At some point Eagles fans need to learn that injuries do indeed heal. 

The injury didn't require surgery after it happened and now it has healed. He's been medically cleared. He's all better. 

What are you talking about? Just because you are medically cleared doesn’t mean you aren’t injured. He’s playing through the pain obviously. 
 

His shoulder is an issue because it’s not fully recovered based on his own admission, which is why I stated I wonder if surgery will be required in the offseason.

If he was still injured to the point of needing surgery after the season he would still be on the injury report like lane is.

Yep.  This is not a surgery injury, it is a rest and rehab injury.

He is clearly not going to be 100% the rest of the way, it is about pain management and not making it worse.

I don't know why people are making this more than it is. He's playing through soreness and pain like everyone else is at this point of the season.

It is an issue, that can be managed, but he does still have an injury that will not fully heal until the season is over.

Well yeah but, like I said it's basically a nagging injury at this point and most likely everyone has something like that going on at this point. I'm mostly saying that it seems people think there is more going on and the eagles are hiding an injury

How long have you been watching football? Honest question. Because playing with an injury that will require surgery is NOTHING new  in the NFL.

Hurts injury will not require surgery, it requires rest.

They have not mentioned one time that hurts does or will require surgery after the season. I said that lanes injury requires surgery but is still playing. So obviously I know they play through injuries that will require surgery.

People have soreness after every game. They have soreness after every good workout. I have no idea why some continue to claim he's injured even after having no injury designation on the injury reports. I guess there's a conspiracy theory brewing where the Eagles are clearly breaking league rules by hiding this serious injury because they don't want to be criticized for rushing him back too early.

I think people just want something wrong with him so we have an excuse if we lose. 

"It’s an issue!”

”ok. So what should be done about it?”

"Uhhhhh…. ITS AN ISSUE!”

Losing will just be fuel on the fire. We saw what happened after last year. Do you think he will be better or worse next year if we lose this game?

I expect him to get better but, a lot can happen from one season to the next.

My guess is if we lose it will be unlikely that its because of Jalen, itll be more the defense or the Oline underperforming.

I think people will go full blame mode and say things like we need a pocket passer because he’s always hurt or they will try and discount everything he did this year in an attempt to blame him if they lose. He could have a good game and they will still blame him if they lose. They’re not so patiently waiting for their euphoric moment of lI told you so.” 

Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles

You had to know Hurts was going to be on here, right? The third-year sensation took a big leap for the second consecutive season, morphing from what had been one of the least accurate passers in league history as a rookie to one of the most accurate passers in 2022. Hurts has evolved into an excellent pocket passer without even considering what value he adds as a runner; the total package amounted to a 66.4 QBR, which ranked fourth in the league.

Hurts came into the season knowing that a subpar year might have pushed the Eagles to use some of their pick haul to go after a new quarterback in the 2023 draft. Now, the idea of the Eagles moving on from Hurts would be absurd. With no fifth-year option as a second-round pick, Hurts will be one year from unrestricted free agency after his season ends. He's going to be in line alongside Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert for top-of-the-line contract extensions this offseason.

Don’t worry if the Eagles are foolish enough to let Hurts go (and they won’t, cause they aren’t) then some other team most certainly will sign him to what he’s worth.
