Eagles re-sign Jalen Hurts

[Risen Star]

so hurts got carried last year. now he has to carry the team.

Caps get manipulated. this percentage bullshiet just doesn't fly. else no team with top 15 QB salary would have a chance to win the superbowl.

every single non-elite QB needs to have a strong team around them to succeed. Hurts had the best OL in football. top 5 running game. top 3 WR group. a top 5 TE and a top 2 defense. he didn't carry his team. he took advantage of what was around him. most teams build that way, if they have smart GMs

It's not complicated to figure out the more a QB can do to raise the level of play around them the less they need around them and vice versa. To pay someone with no talent like Dak Prescott is not like paying someone with talent. Prescott needs it all. He needs to be surrounded by pro bowlers and that is hard to do when he takes up 20-25% of your cap space.

I don't want to pay any QB really but the worst thing you can do is pay one like Prescott and then have to build a supporting cast to overcome him with your remaining cap space.

Uhh….it pains me to defend an Eagle but it’s not his fault they put talent around him. Just because you have talent around you doesn’t mean you can’t produce…

It’s not just the talent, it’s the design of the offense. It’s built around protecting Hurts.

....I realize putting together 5 words is difficult for your intellect but take them one at a time.......Dak....lost....the....SF....game.....take as much time as you need.

Cowboys team lost the SF game. Cowboys won the Bucs game. Dak had 300 yards and 5 TD's that game. You know, the one you predicted we wouldnt even get to?

I predicted we would go 12-5 and you predicted 8 wins. Who knows football? You predicted we would lose the Bucs game and I predicted we would win. Who knows football?

 

[Cowboys1966]

Karma is a ***** . . . This is for all of those Eagle Fans that Mocked us for the last couple of years

Welcome to Overhyped QB Hell

LOL, every player needs to be slotted into a system that supports his abilities. For instance, Prescott needs to be slotted into a CFL offence. Lol. He would excel there lol.

 

[TWOK11]

Why does that sound familiar?

The numbers suggest Dak is a SIGNIFICANTLY better QB in traditional quarterback situations. What Hurts is doing is very hard to replicate across time because he is very limited as a pocket passer going through traditional reads.

 

[CATCH17]

Did you expect us to win the SF game? Im going to bet you didnt.

NO harm in losing to a better team on the road with the #1 defense in the NFL.

We should’ve won that game.

Who cares what people thought. It was clear we had a better team but our QB freaked out and threw awful picks and missed wide open receivers.

Pre game predictions mean squat. The matchups favored Dallas.

....make sure you call out the mods that predicted a losing team too.....oh wait, you lack the peanuts to do that.

Not according to Coach Mike Martz and QB Kurt Warner. You saying you know more about football than them HOFers?

 

[America's Cowboy]

no he didn't you can just keep saying that until the cows come home. it doesn't make it true. he led a putrid offense. his job is to lead the offense and he couldn't. every single statistics with Rush was putrid. for Gawd's sake he had a 100 yard outing and we won, because defense gifted them 9 points. and he was cut in preseason. with us having no back up on roster. 31 teams could have signed him and chose not to. he was cut from giants and only reason they signed him one year was because of garrett. and Rush sucked against eagles. led offense to only 17 points. eagles stacked the line, stopping the run and dared him to beat them with passing and he tried and threw three interceptions. the clock struck midnight on Rush and your crush.

so this just speaks volumes about your agenda, more than it does Rush or Dak.

He knows the truth, but this poster is one of the biggest fallacy spewers around here. Clearly, he has nothing but an agenda.

 

[CowboyRoy]

....make sure you call out the mods that predicted a losing team too.....oh wait, you lack the peanuts to do that.

If you think I dont call out Mods on here, then once again you arent paying attention and your dont know what your talking about.

Which seems to be pretty much par for the course for you.

So how many wins will you predict THIS year Mr. Football Guru? 8 again?

Dont you ever get tired of being wrong?

 

[Cowboys1966]

Hurts had 100 yards passing when they killed SF. All he had to do was hand the ball off. Didnt even break a sweat. Let us know when Dak has that kind of team around him.

Lol, I’m not sure exactly what your point is. That was not even a real NFL game.… When one team plays most of the game without a quarterback then I think you can kind of disregard that game as meaningful for anything.

well duh!!! I never said that's not true. that's why Elites like Burrow and Mahomes need less around them and can elevate their teams. they over come so much. but there is only 3 or 4 of them. the rest need a strong team around them. Hurs had a very strong team around him. top OL, top 3 WR group. top 5 rushing attack. top 2 defense. top 5 TE. so he didn't carry his team, he took advantage of that strong team around him.

all the others are similarly built. and Dak didn't take 20-25% of salary cap the past two years. I call bullshiet. if you don't understand that, you have no idea how the cap works. his cap hit the past two years was 17, 19 M. so we had the ability to sign anyone we wanted. yet we chose not to. why is that? why didn't our brilliant GM build a team like the eagles? and its not just in the past 7 years. its the past 28 years of sucking, unless you are blaming Dak for the past 28 years somehow (some actually tried).

and lets move on from Dak. tell me your brilliant plan to make us better. all I am hearing is Dak whining. nothing but Dak whining. tell us how this team would get better, when Dak is not here. who is the QB you want to draft and build around. tell us how he is better than Dak and how they are elite? tell us who to trade for and how that makes us better. tell us which FA QBs make this team better. tell us which FAs you wanted to sign and make us better.

again, all I am hearing is Dak Whining.

What a tough guy? Always bringing up the mods. Wow.

....lol, the same Warner that you lambasted as a Dak hater? Okay genius.

....waiting for you to spew your anti-military, race-baiting BS....until then, just shut up.

none of them can give anything, any idea, even a crazy idea to make this team better. they are just whinning. I am going to get a big bucket of cheese for their whine!

 

[Floatyworm]

The richest deal ever.

They can have him....he sucks worse than Prescott.

Talk about starting my week on a high note...

Can't wait to see them bomb in the draft too...

That game was over before Purdy went down. Eagles ran all over them and scored TD's the first 3 drives I believe.

But that would be another point. Whether the QB went down or not, Hurts didnt have to do much. Wouldnt it be nice to beat the Niners and the QB not to have to carry the team? How about playing the Giants in the 2nd round. Wouldnt that have been nice? Again, this was what happened to Hurts and the Eagles. Instead we played the Niners in the 2nd.

I've already answered this many times since the season ended. This offseason needed to be dedicated to improving the offense around the fraud as much as possible. We need to give him the best set of skill position players in the league or die trying because the QB will give you nothing. He will just take a quarter of your cap space.

Sorry (not really) if it offends you but your QB sucking while being paid like he's a franchise player is a pretty big deal.

 

[America's Cowboy]

....lol, the same Warner that you lambasted as a Dak hater? Okay genius.

I hated how he started the season only analyzing Dak's games. He got heat from the fans. He soon started analyzing other QBs. Kudos to him. He became impartial, something you don't have in you to become. It's always a Dak hating agenda with you. Sad thing, you keep being proven wrong.
