Jalen Hurts is the Eagles starting quarterback

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yeah, it wasn't like Hurts came in and played like Mahomes. He did play well and good enough for the win and that is good for a rookie. Enough said, on to Arizona. ( in my best Belichick voice).
The 2 biggest takeaways for me is that the team as a whole played better around him and I saw a graphic where he was pressured 14 times and there were zero negative plays on those pressures. That is huge considering what Wentz was giving them all year. But it remains to be seen what happens. Once the Eagles are eliminated ( next week, imo), and we head into the offseason, this will be very entertaining to watch. The Wentz contract looms over their head. Is Doug P back? Does Lurie wake up and see that his buddy Howie is really not a good GM sans one lucky SB run? They will be in full circus mode, fun times.

Philly fans are always elite when it comes to comic entertainment regarding their sports teams...

Yep! That was it! I think a few times . There was another from was it qb film room or one of those type of accounts...but baldy definitely did! What’s up man where u been. I miss someone to bs horses with

I’ve mostly been just spending more time with family since I’m working from home. You’d think without a commute and less supervision that I’d be less busy but I feel like there is less free time than I used to have pre-coronavirus.

I’ll probably start keeping an eye out for 2021 derby horses in January/February so maybe I’ll be a little more active. I had a lot of bets that needed Tiz the Law to win this year’s derby so I kinda stopped betting for a little while. That was a tough loss.

Ouch yeah. Man I think I posted that I had funds on thousand words. When he scratched I tried to put it all on authentic .... and got shut out. Loose on the lead that horse ha no fear. I liked him for the BC too..

This is the second time Doug Pederson has a backup QB capable of winning in his hip pocket.

Do you really want to fire this guy?

As for Wentz, his career numbers are almost identical to Jared Goff. I find that interesting since I'm not into hyperbolic in the moment overreactions.

Very true on the Wentz/Goff comparison. Neither QB is all that good. Goff just has a better coach and better playmakers around him.

 

[SteelersPride]

See how Hurts does without a line now.

lots of qbs have bad lines, lots of qbs deal with injuries........lots of qbs make the guys around them better(whoops)

You do know wentz has had mucho time to throw

I wouldn’t say he’s had much time to throw, that’s a bit far fetched.

Last I saw ,and and it was a few weeks ago. Also a bit far fetched to blame the line for all that...0

i stand by what i said.

also, hurts is doing just fine.....with that same line..........stands in there and does crap too

I could buy this.
Wentz & Goff are like scared little girls when there is pressure.

 

[RaZon]

Dude is so damn cool, love his game. Reminds me of a faster Russell Wilson.

We talk a lot about top pick busts but 2016 gave us possibly the worst 1&2 picks we have seen in quite some time. Both these guys were fortunate to get on teams that really hid their flaws early on.

Not long before the draft Wentz was projected as a late 3rd early 4th rounder. I was calling for Dallas to draft him, even if it meant moving up in the 3rd. When he got to the 2nd I jumped off of the Wentz wagon.

just got to go to 2015 winston/mariota and both are backups

 

[DJ]

Both could be starters again in the League....just like Bridgewater.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Yep. 2 years in a row bad choices. Rams and Eagles just had more team success so people think they aren't as bad. Switch those drafts and I would be willing to bet Goff and Wentz don't get $100mil extensions and are backups too.

May not be the future in Philly but he has made them better and shown he has a role in the League.

 

[DJ]

I would take Hurts over Hill....

you sure?

 

[Manster7588]

you sure?

Yep.

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Agreed. Hill is not a QB and much older. Likely out of the league in 2 or 3 years due to an injury. Dude has the intelligence of a sack of rocks the way he takes on defenders

 

[jarntt]

Yep.

I thought you were high on Wentz for Dallas in the 1st or 2nd round
