What will be the sign to recognize tanking? Benching Hurts for Flacco or Minshew? Or does the tanking officially begin with Hurts no longer running and relying on his passing?

Cox and Hargrove coming down with phantom injuries?

I don’t believe there will be a sign. Benching Hurts wouldn’t be tanking, particularly with how he’s played the last few weeks

They spent 12 minutes and still never talked about one of their biggest issues…Hurts cannot consistently make NFL throws. He will hit a few here and there but take away the big plays and make him make several in a row and he can’t, they punt.

Part of me feels bad for the guy. Coming into the league, he was clearly a physically talented player who needed development. Instead, the Eagles quickly put him into the lineup and have essentially put their entire offense on him.

They’ve done the two things they shouldn’t have done.

Glad he's finally out of the NFC East. Just sucks we play the Cardinals later in the season.

we would have faced him twice anyway so who cares..wouldn't be that scred of facing a player with 18 catches this season and the Cardinals lost a better TE in that Max guy who was a better blocker and having a PB type year..they simply replaced him..so really not move that gives them a new advantage just keeps them whole..

they were already 5-0 and had great TE who was playing under the radar but they made this move because they needed to replace that TE who got hurt..

because hes a raw qb whos stared 10 games and calling the guy bust or jag doesnt understand the game of football..i see some horrible play calling, lack of a run game, the coaches are just not using their talent correctly..

they are treating Hurtz like they view some of the qbs who were ready day 1 like Herbert and thats wrong they are dumping too much on this kid instead of designing an offense that would help bring him along better..i know its a hated rival but the comments are ignorant to facts, the team is more of the issue then their qb mostly in coaching ..

nope not buying it they lost some close games, look out for the surge and get on a run..

I agree. I give them credit for not folding their tents against Tampa on Thursday. Maybe they even learned about running the football?

And in looking at their upcoming schedule, they’re the one team that looks like they could win some games and compete for the division.

I don’t think they have a franchise quarterback. He can’t make all the Necessary throws. Just don’t know about them

I think they put too much on Hurts. Especially considering that he needed development and has started just 10 games.
