Although a running QB might not be sustainable in the long run...what Hurts brings running the football can't be understated. Guy's on pace for 950 yards and 9 TDs on the ground this year. Those yards and TDs count just as much as if they happened through the air.
If my memory is correct, he picked up 6 first downs with his legs on Sunday. 5 of them were 3rd down conversions.
Another underrated part of Hurts' game: he avoids the big negative play. TOs are killers and he commits them at a pretty low rate.

Saw this tweet. In general, I think the comparisons of Hurts in X amount of starts to other QBs are kind of misleading. He's in his 2nd year, so he should be outperforming rookies. A a running QB, he's bound to put up more total yards, and he's compiled a decent amount of garbage time numbers this year. QBR is meaningful though and I agree re: Mac Jones. The guy could be really good but I think he's overrated right now, partially just because Belichick drafted him.
I agree they need to go defense early next year, unless a great offensive player falls into their lap. Definitely no reason to reach on a QB.

Hurts vs Mac Jones
I don't hear any criticisms of Mac Jones - because the narrative coming in said that he is good.
I didn't put this tweet together, but it is interesting:
Jalen Hurts vs. Mac Jones Head to Head, 9 games each:
Passing TDs: Hurts- 11 Jones- 10
Total TDs: Hurts- 16 Jones- 10
INT's: Hurts- 4 Jones- 7
Total YPG: Hurts- 275 Jones- 240
Attempts: Hurts- 273 Jones- 300
Passer Rating: Hurts- 91 Jones- 89.8
Hurts also leads in QBR.
The Eagles need to re-stack the defense. I'd give Hurts another year. I'd use our first 4 picks on defense.Tags: None
