The league figured out Mike Vick, and they’ll figure out Hurts
It's not just Hurts, or the Iggles.
It's the rules, from the "giving yourself up so the play is over" to "slide and you can't be touched" to the "no diving at the knees" to the "no blows above the neck", a smart quarterback like Hurts can essentially run free without fear of being hurt by a hit. Watching the Packers game it was clear that Hurts had no intention of taking on a defender, their offense is designed to create open spaces for him to run free for at least 6-8 yards, and he's a good enough runner so that he can easily dodge potential tacklers and make more most times.
If not, he just ducks out of bounds or slides. Barring his getting his feet tangled up, or slipping on the turf and tearing up a knee, or getting rolled up on in the pocket (not likely, given he runs so much he's not in the pocket a lot) he isn't probably going to get hurt like Vick, RGIII, Dak, Romo or any other qb that is dumb enough to try to squeeze out an extra yard or two or go head first like Allen does.
Besides, did the league figure out the passing game? Did we see a return to the "three yards and a cloud of dust" playcalling? Nope, it's been a passing league (as compared to a running league like in the 1930's -1960's). That's more entertaining, which is what the NFL is nowadays, so that's not going to change.
Becoming a league where the quarterbacks are not so much that anymore, more a new position (Thirdback? Ballback?) may be the NFL for the next 30 years...
