That is going to change because Philly will have to deal with Hurts this off season before he reaches URF in 2023. Hell I hope he gets MVP because they will only drive his price tag higher. lol
I do agree they have 2 1st rd picks that is big
Remember the rule:
Dak plays well - it's not Moore;
Dak plays poorly - it's Moore.
My guess is they would love one more year to evaluate him before giving the long-term contract. That would mean him playing in 2023 at a salary of $1.5M. Can't see any way in hell his agent will allow this.......he will force their hand, long-term, trade, or threaten to sit out.

It will be interesting to see the contracts Hurts and Lamar Jackson get,,,, kinda risky paying a high dollar running QB but, if you've got a good one, I guess you just pay it and accept the risk. Gotta pay for a quality backup too but elite QB not required.
I like how Shanihan did it in San Fran too. Build up your OL and defense and put your coaching emphasis on quality run blocking schemes, play action passes. Elite QB no longer required.
The hope with running QBs is they develop as passers and stop having to run as much as they mature in the game. We've seen it with other QBs who came into the league running a lot.. Steve Young, Randall Cunningham, Rich Gannon, even McNabb.. though frankly McNabb never got to be a good enough passer to stop running.. but he stopped running anyway and became useless shortly thereafter. Young QBs typically don't stop running until the game slows down enough for them .. That moment happens at different points for different guys. It is what it is..
