U pointing out Reagor not even running his route hard is sad. Really hope the Eagles move on from him and I'm not even a fan of the team. His body language even says "I don't care" when he has drops half the time. At least Hurts has real weapons now
I don’t think he needs to change his whole game, he just needs to continue to develop pocket presence and go thru all his reads which it sounds like he’s been doing this training camp
When Carson Wentz switched things up post-injury that's when things went wrong. I think that we should build a bit more of the offense surrounding Jalen Hurts. However, it would probably be less beneficial if they did it a lot as the ravens with Lamar Jackson. I can see Jalen Hurts being a good athletic quarterback and is definitely worth taking a good look at this season to see if he is a long term future qb.
Practice, means nothing unless he can show it in a real game with pressure in his face. Of course he can go through his reads when no one is rushing him. Eagles fans have 0 football IQ
@@pauls1433 what more can they add/build around. Smith is going to be pissed about the lack of targets with AJB coming in. Also, the Ravens and Lamar aren't something to point to. When Lamar can't lead playoff wins or excel against tough teams. They both need to become QB's.
You’re right. Reality really hurts. And the reality is that hurts has 16 total tds (10 passing) and only 2 picks. While being an MVP candidate. Keep that same energy when hurts wins super bowl MVP Fly Eagles Fly 🦅
No matter if Hurts is the guy or not, I’m still going to root for him. If he’s not their guy Howie has the picks to get whoever he wants next year. I’m stoked for the year go birds.
I love how people are like “stop hating” whenever you point out weaknesses in Jalens game. We aren’t hating we are just realists. Jalen is fun to watch is a great guy and an awesome leader but his passing game leaves a lot to be desired. All of us Eagles fans hope he takes big strides this year and crushes it but if you watch his tapes it shows a lot of questions that need to be answered. We all hope he is the guy but also won’t be surprised if he’s not. Go Birds!
The problem is that he’s only going into his 2nd year of starting after going to the playoffs having 26 total Tds and 9 ints. What other young qb that has only started 1 full season and puts up good numbers gets scrutinized like him?? He’s still improving like every other young qb.
Stop it Mahomes said it loud & clear. problem is HOW many years of development black QBs get compared to other Below average 1st year starting white QBs.
Thats eagles fans for you. Granted, 90% of eagles fans were already giving up on him in the first 4 weeks of last season. Now, all of Sudden he’s good enough to win the division and even a Super Bowl. Eagles fans are absolute clowns
This is so stupid. You can't dismiss well researched takes just because the person has been wrong in the past. Especially because QB evaluation is hard and Herberts college film hardly showed the level of play he displayed in the NFL. I'm sure you've been wrong about QBs before so should I just dismiss everything you bring up?
@@rolandxb3581 The way he dismissed Herbert as an NFL QB, before Herbert was even drafted, goes beyond just miscalculation, it shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
What I don't understand is how people come to these analysis with never haven played at the collegiate or professional level. And or, never allowed that player to get settled in and fully developed. It's like me calling your child stupid in 6th grade because he failed his geography quiz and overlooking his 1500 SAT score in 12th grade.
As an eagles fan I was more mad at the click bait title than the actual video. Made some good points. He has to somehow find a middle ground between staying in the pocket and making throws and leaving the pocket. We’ve been hearing from camp he has been throwing to the middle of the field more often and accurately. Can’t wait to see his development this year.
Looks like the cover 2 shell that everyone is running isn’t working so well against hurts. We all know what happens in man coverage against hurts too lol. With the eagles also having a top 5 run offense in the league and a good ass defense…I think the rest of the NFL is in trouble.
I never in my life seen the sports media and analyst criticize someone so much like Hurts it’s the guys first year starting and he took the team to the playoffs they really need to cut him a break Payton Manning rookie season was horrible and never do they mention him or many other qbs who are great now look at Josh Allen? like it takes time for a qb to develop they really just need to rate him off his play this year and that’s that.
@@TheYourname12345 nah bro u just be saying stuff in hindsight. Soph Hurts and Soph Josh Allen had pretty much the exact same stats and almost an identical record. They even had the same issues 🤣
I’m a die hard birds fan. I can appreciate your analysis. Hopefully someone showed him his flaws this off-season and he worked on them…. Bc this team is STACKED.
@@itshurtsszn Big difference between preseason and practice compared to actual season. We have to wait for the season to start to see how much progress he has made.
For what its worth theres been a lot of news coming out of camp that hes hitting AJ in the middle off of slants with regular consistency. They seem to be growing a really solid rapport with each other which is exciting for news for eagles fans. Of course thats all just practice and reports.
He scores fantasy points... But holy hell was it terrifying last year!! I learned to ignore his points until the 4th quarter. He'd do NOTHING all game then somehow go off in the 4th
It is more difficult for a QB to be great throwing outside the numbers than throwing inside the numbers. Part of Jalen Hurts' problem was that last season, he had inexperienced, not so physical WRs. He protected them by not throwing much over the middle. Offensive concepts dictate whether there's openings in the middle of the field.
It feels like he was never really meant to succeed which is why I'm definetly rooting for him. Given the steps he evidently took last year I don't think it's far fetched to assume/hope that he can build on that going forward.
Apparently he's been targeting AJB relentlessly during camp. I'm curious where they'll position Brown and if they'll ask him to run over the middle as much as he has in the past
Howie drafted Jalen first and foremost because he saw value in him where they selected him. Obviously the plan was not for him to start, and certainly not as early as 2020, but I don't think Howie makes that pick if he doesn't think Hurts at least had the upside to start in the league. For how much QB prospects bust, Hurts being average or at least borderline average in the league having been a #2 validates this, and given the opportunities they had to upgrade in the offseason, I continue to believe they think he can keep growing. Maybe he was never Plan A, but I think the front office always figured he could be a strong Plan B.
Hurts has a lot of room for improvement, that's for sure. But the one thing I will say about him is that he's improved so much since he was a freshman at Alabama. I remember watching him back then, he could barely throw at all. He was basically just a running back playing QB. Then he transferred to Oklahoma and I was shocked at how much he had improved as a passer under Lincoln Riley. By all accounts he's been improving every year in the pros with Philly, too. Look at his rookie stats vs. his year 2 stats--clear improvement. I really think he's been getting better as a passer every year since 2019. I'm expecting that to continue for this season.
Hurts really started improving as a passer in the season he backed up Tua at Alabama with Dan Enos as the QB coach. He started seeing the field better and throwing with more anticipation. That was his junior year, when he came into the SEC championship game against Georgia in the 4th quarter trailing after Tua suffered a high ankle sprain and won the game with 2 TD drives. I don't think Riley would have wanted him if he hadn't shown a lot of improvement as a passer that last year at Alabama.
"It's all inbreakers over the middle where Hurts refuses to target" I think that is exactly the thinking of upper management. Give Hurts someone that can consistently win in the middle of the field and maybe he'll feel comfortable enough to throw it there.
Love how Hurts is under the microscope so much but he's winning. Media always talking about bringing in another QB like y'all sitting down with Jeffery Lurie and Howie Roseman. Its funny that Maholmes, Kyler Murray and Jackson are always getting scrutinized but yet a QB like Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield can play when neither one of them can lead a team to the playoffs. SMH y'all don't wanna make it about black or white but they always get scrutinized worse
And you guys act like 4 games at the end of first season was not full time audition. He played lights out against the saints then regressed to who he is, and never showed anything more than who he is the entire season to the point the coach has to totally 180 his play book to try and win with this guy. He at least proved you can win some games with him but if the cards dude stb in the playoffs and he can throw on time than Jalen looking equally bad was scary cause nobody ever thought he was going to be close to him and they both struggle in the pocket cause height.
@@barclaypierre740 also if hurts can have a career as good as jimmy I think he would be considered a success. 1 super bowl appearance and a great playoff and regular season record. It’s all u can ask for someone who wasn’t a top 5 pick
@@romainvicta7392 Except Jimmy G could throw at the middle of the field on time and automatic when he sees that route from his guys whereas Hurts can't and would would rather just shuffle and run towards the sidelines. Talent comes in different ways and for Hurts, he's hurting in talent where he has to be more consistent in the pocket. Especially with the receiver talent improving around him.
Hurts has 2 NFL seasons under his belt at age 23. Most of us can agree he has been inconsistent with his overall decision making, reading the defense, and more importantly, anticipating those quick hitters over the middle... He's only going to be 24 when this season starts. He's absolutely the leader and QB of this team right now. He still has a ton of upside, and he's got all of the "intangibles" to be a great leader. As a lifelong Eagles fan, of course I'm hoping for the best, but I'm going to have a lot more patience than most fans. We all forget sometimes just how young some of these guys are.... He's still a very young man thats still growing as a player, a leader, ect. As long as he continues to grow and get better wherever he can, he's not going anywhere. In fact, with his above average running abilities, he just needs to be a consistent above average passer, and he will be a top 7-10 QB in the league this year. He doesn't have to do anything crazy to keep his job. Just continue to get better and utilize your young playmakers. He doesn't need to necessarily carry this team. They are pretty deep at the skilled positions for a change..
The point of view simply is myopic in that it seems to ignore coaching ability to de-emphasize weaknesses in game planning and matchups. The guy is doing fine and is progressing. seeing and reading remains his challenge yet you fail to see his developed tool kit otherwise is sufficient to march his team to the playoffs in 2022. Given a 2nd year smith, a Veteran Pascal, Speed in watkins and bulk in AJ brown, the receivers along with Goddert, Stoll, and Gainwell will help Hurts throw 4500 yards 22 passing touch downs, 450 Rushing yards, 9 running touchdowns and an NFC EAST title. Given their offensive style which was run heavy and likely will be slightly less so this year, he will come in somewhere around 360 completions on 580 Attempts which would put him at 62 percent and 7.75 per attempt: a modest improvement yet these are good stats for his second year and the increase to 7.75 will reflect the ability of AJ brown to rough up opposing corners coming off the line . Hurts' attempts could very well suffer to some degree if Hurts succeeds against better teams early on like the cards, cowboys, packers, and Titans, as Siriani will turn to the run to eat clock. Lurie/Roseman will attempt to showcase Minshew in early season blowout games in the hope of trading him for another 2023 Draft pick. If Hurts does not meet whatever the Lurie/Roseman Mendoza line is for the season, Hurts, may still be retained if he is showing signs of what the coaches feel is improvement in his game that are crucial to future success. Should Hurts stagnate they could still continue to develop late season gameplans to maximize his value for post season trading rather than focusing solely on wins for the team this year: Lurie and Roseman are too cheap to not get something for him if he does not pan out and Hurts does not have a drama queen temperament so if there is a divorce in the future it will likely be done without benching and drama as all parties are interested in maximizing their value. Since no one has an interest in Drama, I wonder what a modest Hurts success would look like followed by the Eagles trading Minshew, retaining Hurts and using their Round 1 picks to procure a top tier QB prospect?
@@Project_Artic He really hasn't though. Tua has been hurt and misses games, but even in the games missed Tua had just as many touchdown passes in 3 fewer games.
I would argue the play calling, especially in the first half of the season, was pretty terrible. I think both Hurts and the play calling should be better this year
There were reports that said Steichen took control of playing calling half way through the season which makes sense because that’s when they switched to a lot more focus on the ground game and there were a lot less called back touchdowns from illegal picks
Wow I'm shocked that a first year coach felt safe enough to give the main duty of his job over to someone else. But looks like your right and now it is official that it happened and will be all season this year. I think that's really wild that you basically are saying we can win with this guy but not me.
I feel like everyone knew hurts wasn't that accurate of a qb but it wasn't all him the wr core was young and struggled to get separation at times. Also, it's not like they have tom brady waiting in the wing. Give him this season to see if he's gonna be able to progress if not.. cores solid just need a qb
Please stop young yes, but talented as heck, qeuz was open so many times and hurts didn't even look his way 80% of the time. He seemed to focus on Dallas and if he didn't get open in time possibly look for slim reaper. But unlike even qbs that others think stink can turn their hips and rescan the other side of the field because already they have(should have an idea where they are cause of the call). Kirk cousins is a great example of a so so qb but at least can scan the whole field. Even in that wild card game quez was so open nobody was within 7 yards but the issue was not even not looking his way it was not pulling the trigger. I truly hope the game slows down for him because I've seen him when he's not racing in his head and he's more accurate than it seems on film. As far as Tom Brady waiting in the wings? Gardner ran the offense the way it should be run and looked great like 260 and 2 TD. He won't ever get the spot but still using the excuse we don't have anybody better so just keep him in there isn't an argument. If he struggles with this team that basically has stars at every position[miles needs to stay healthy].
@@Melcavic42 really, you’re gonna use Gardner putting up 242 and 2 TDs against the JETS as an example? Common man, that’s just silly… my grandma could’ve put up 242 and 2 TDs against the jets lmao… Jalen would’ve torn them apart, sure or may have been on the ground, but he’s gonna prove everyone wrong this year… oh, and this opinion is coming from a titans fan, and no, after the things Brown said, I’m not rooting for him, I just believe in Jalen hurts, and have since his college years
Entire breakdown is accurate. The only thing I’ll say is it’s one year, he has intangibles and his #2 wr was Jalen Reagor. 2nd yr same system better Wrs , he will improve.
His 2 was quez who was open all the time Jalen reagor was barely playing by the end over i forgot his name because he's not a good slot. Dude that caught that ball in the redskins game from Wentz was playing over Jalen that's not an excuse.
Even if things, don't work out for Hurts with the Eagles he will get another opportunity with another team. Why? He has starting experience and he will be a cheap option for some team. Hurts career is far from over. But face it, Hurts is the guy for the Eagles. Why? Because all the Eagles players just love, love Hurts and they won't play for anyone else.
The Eagles will go 17-0 as an undefeated team. The Eagles will do great with all their new additions on their team throughout the offseason and become an powerhouse on the offense and defense. As an Eagles fan, Jalen Hurts will have an even better season of 2022 as the Eagles starting QB until he retires in the future. He'll get the Eagles in 1st place in the NFC East and win Super Bowl LVII for their 2nd Super Bowl title in Eagles franchise history and NFL history in 2022 next season. Fly Eagles Fly and let's go Jalen Hurts!!!! Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LVII Champions!!!! Jalen Hurts Super Bowl LVII MVP!!!! Jalen Hurts, let's win Super Bowl LVII!!!! The Eagles will be unstoppable and Jalen Hurts will get an Super Bowl ring with the Eagles in his career.
Saying this without snark, because even as a diehard Eagles fan, I appreciated the solid analysis you put into this piece. I would like to see your thoughts after this year’s body of work, because he seemed to work on a lot of things people (you and others) criticized in his game after last year. Go Birds
Obviously the Eagles at all in on Hurts. They drafted his college WR and TE. They traded for his best friend AJ brown. And added his college running back Kennedy Brooks. I think the Eagles are going to try this out for a few years.
that Bucs playoffs game is the nail bitter in terms of his pocket QB ability its going to be annoying af for the Eagles fans, if he didn't improve during the offseason and camp.
So wait. Hurts has issues throwing over the middle and AJ Brown's strength is over the middle routes? That could be a good marriage of need and strength or it could be confirmation of his weakness there. It's like most things in the NFL, wait and see what happens and hope it pays off.
@@AlexRollinsNFL I never really root against players improving as a general rule, so my hope after seeing your video is that acquiring AJ Brown then helps him learn to start throwing there to begin with. But predicting how players develop is a coin flip at best.
@@AlexRollinsNFL It’s different this time around last season was he’s rookie season in a lot of eyes this season is the season to really break down what he really has going on.
Hurts has gotten better every year since high school. I still see him getting better, where the ceiling is I'm not sure. Can't help but want him to succeed though
@@jonpoetical Considering he is coming of a pretty low base as a pocket QB, he isn't gonna get the years in the NFL to become an elite passer. I like Hurts and I am sure he will get better this year, but doubt it will be enough for a team like Eagles who are ready to contend. Anyway, I am rooting for him, because he is an easy guy to like
@@jonpoetical He is still a long way away from that in terms of throwing the football. He is somewhere between competent and below average in terms of passing and his running ability is obviously elite.
Lol this whole segment was trash 🤣 it’s called developing as a Pocket passer. You did way too much on this one…FYI this is ALL just predictions you or I have no clue how the season will end up
Eagles hater channel. Hurts will be fine. The eagles will be fine. We made the playoffs with all of these inconsistances. We will win the division no problem.
Good thing for Jalen is, outta so many wanna be NFL QBs, he gets a chance to make an impression for the 2022 season. Hate videos, Hype videos etc means nothing. Its all on him. He looks lucky as hell from where I sit
LOL Eagles fans don't understand its a win/win situation. The only losers are the Jalen Hurts nuthuggers since if he doesn't prove himself, Howie just moves on to find himself a pocket passing prospect who can feed AJ Brown/Goedert/Devonta Smith consistently and efficiently. Eagles as a whole improve as a team with better pieces at offense and hopefully building the defense back up.
Tbh if the eagles o-line was as good 2 years ago as last year (due to injuries obviously), Wentz would still be there. Wild to think about. Anyway, I'm hoping Hurts steps up this year. This team looks really scary on paper.
The real problem is that these qb's aren't being taught the position at the collegiate level. They just have to win games fir for the program. Plus you add the fact that most WR's are generally open in college qbs only have to make one read especially if at a top tier school. It takes at least 3 years to transition to the NFL
@@helluvatime4562 Name 1 qb from the SEC that came out of college and was successful in their first 2 years of playing in the NFL. Before you say Manning remember Payton set the record for interceptions his rookie year
@@mrcarter7314 Mac Jones, Joe burrow, Cam Newton, Eli Manning, Dak Prescott off the top of my head....oh wait you were probably kidding with me. LOL haha good one.
Remember what people said about Lamar Jackson and Duel threat QBs. It takes time to develop a strategy that works for certain QBs. Jalen Hurts will be an MVP in the league and a SB champ watch
You make an often overlooked and important point about scrambling. Elite scrambling is often praised as a universal good. PFF is guilty of this. When a QB scrambles and makes a play it's always couched in a presumption that a pocket passer would have been sacked or had a throwaway on that play. Tom Brady was sacked at the lowest rate in the league (per game and per attempt) last year despite passing the most because he had the second quickest time to throw despite also throwing the most big time passes. When you see an elite scrambler make a play with their feet, it's not uncommon to hear the commentator say something like "Brady can't do that." or "that's a sack if Brady's back there". Except, no, clearly not. Because elite pocket passers like Brady buy time in the pocket and/or get the ball out on time and make clean throws under duress, which is why Brady takes sacks at a historically low rate.
QB getting sacked in 3rd and mid/long passing downs is also in part their fault nowadays. As they are trying to extend plays in the pocket as best as possible to make something happen. Burrow is guilty of this but as you see in his film even in the 2nd half the season (counting playoffs), he was taking highly calculated risks on which defender he could evade to give himself an extra second to find Chase or his 2nd/3rd read in a play. Disciplined defenses are willing to play contain rushes vs scramblers who aren't great reading the field to just get them to put the ball up and hope the safeties and secondary read him to make the play.
@pedro perez, I agree there should definitely be an update to this video as the credibility meter regarding talent evaluating is hovering around a 1% at this point🤣🤣🤣🤣. The question at the end is the funniest thing about the video as of 11/2/2022.....
He’s already better than I expected. I think he can keep growing. But what’s Howie gonna do with those 1sts then? Hurts isn’t safe until they get past the first round of the next draft. Probably pooping cubes like a wombat til then.
Fair enough. I believe in the human resolve. I am glad he has a chance. if he can't, the future is still hopeful for the Eagles. Go Jalen! Most of all FLYEAGLESFLY!
I would never watch a analysis video about a player with that kind of clickbait title but I will jump into the comments for second just to see how many people had severe doubts about him. I don’t know what your final conclusion about Jalen was in your video but I know you never saw top 3 MVP candidate coming. Good luck I guess 😅
What do you think would happen if Jalen didn't put it all together? Imo he has improved every year since his college days, but what if last year was his ceiling as a passer? Will he be able to find success on a different team, or become a premier backup QB for rebuilding teams?
That's highly unlikely. Most nfl qbs aren't great their first year starting in the league. Adjusting to the game speed of the nfl and learning to read nfl defences usually takes a couple years. It's very premature to assume he's reached his ceiling already and doing so really shows a lack of understanding of the game. Between the weapons added on offence, the natural progression of another year in the league and the weak schedule they have this year It's most likely that hurts not only takes a step forward but a bigg one.
Jalen hurts has out performed Tua tagovailoa, it’s not even close, and Miami just gave him the best receiving core in the game. Jalen has willed his team to wins. He’s better than the bottom ten qbs starting, and none of them are at risk of losing the whole spot
Are you dumb or something, Tua and Jalen hurts put up the same numbers besides three more rushing Tds and Tua did it with the 32nd Oline, worst Run game in the league, and no WRs besides waddle and his TE
Tua is clearly the better passer, just because Jalen hurts can run around the entire the Field, doesn't mean he's a good QB or is better than ten different starters in the NFL
Another terrific video on Hurts. I commented on your video of him last year, essentially staring the difficulties he will have to deal with because of his limitations but more importantly the structure of the Eagles organization. The eagles are an analytical franchise that believes strongly that you win by passing in the NFL. While this belief is correct, it can result in forcing poorly constructed rosters and quarterbacks who are not capable of throwing the ball with no cap on their attempts into bad positions. It is the reason Carson Wentz failed. He was/is not capable of throwing 40+ times a game, and certainly not when they couldn’t protect him due to an aging Jason Peters, Isaac Seumolo at left guard, an always injured Brandon brooks, Lane Johnson’s injury struggles, and a first round left tackle in Andre Dillard who couldn’t take over for Peters. Forcing a quarterback who doesn’t have great pocket presence and isn’t very cerebral to drop back 40+ times a game behind an offensive line that can’t pass protect is a recipe for disaster; especially when that quarterback is injury prone. Inevitably his eye level will drop out of fear of being hit, which is represented in a drop off in yards per attempt. This brings me to Hurts. The eagles offensive line is LEAGUES better then what they had in 2020 under Wentz, and certainly having receivers like AJ and Devonta are much better then what Wentz was working with. However Hurts still falls under the category of quarterbacks you don’t want throwing the ball more then 40+ times a game (you probably don’t want him throwing more then 30+ times a game). He is not cerebral, he lacks pocket presence and struggles resetting his pocket, he is not very accurate, and he is not a big quarterback so he struggles seeing over his linemen which lends to his inability to throw in the middle of the field. I would also like to mention that while Hurts does not have an extensive injury history, he is not as big as people seem to believe and he exposes himself to awkward hits inside and outside of the pocket. The biggest thing I would like to say is in relation to your comments regarding quarterbacks who leave the pocket too early and leave plays on the field. I am a Saints fan and I had the privilege to watch one of the greatest duos in the NFL’s history in Sean Payton and Drew Brees. I hold Payton in the highest of regards and almost all of my knowledge and understanding of football can be attributed to them. But in the tail end of his tenure the New Orleans, when he was touting Taysom Hill as the next franchise quarterback, he would talk about how important it is to have a quarterback that can and will operate outside of the pocket A.K.A. Outside of the structure of the offense. Alex, you put up different plays on your channel, do you think any of those plays that the coaches drew up were ever intended to be executed NOT in compliance with the way they were drawn up? No coach in the history of football at any level has ever drawn up a play with the hopes that it would fail and the quarterback would be forced to operate outside of the structure. Every play ever drawn up has been designed to SUCCEED, not to fail. A perfect play would executed exactly as it was drawn up every time. Obviously it is unrealistic to say that it is a possibility to be perfect on every play (no one wants a Mike Glennonesque statue under center), however Super Bowls are won three ways offensively (for the most part): 1. Threw the air 2. In the pocket 3. Over the middle of the field I’ll conclude this obnoxiously long comment by saying that yes, Jalen has improved from his time at Alabama and even between his first and second season in the NFL. However those improvements have been incremental at best, and he plays for a franchise that values a quarterbacks ability to carry the team on his back THROUGH THE AIR, not on the ground. And that franchise won’t hesitate to replace their quarterback when they feel like he can’t do that for them, which is the exact way Jalen found himself to be the Eagles starter.
Plenty of one read QB’s in the league, most of them on the bench or practice squad. Having the best o line in the league and his leading the league in time until he throws (and it’s not from the pocket either) tells you all you need to know and it’s not good
@@jonpoetical I don’t believe they are one read qb’s but rather are similar to Drew Bree’s or Brady who scan the entire field and never take their eye off of downfield. Hurts has one of if not the best o line in football so SHOULD be able to stay in the pocket to get better longer completions but opts to scramble if his main read is covered. Not a good long term habit for longevity.
@@dennisfyfe920 They ARE one read Quarterbacks. It's easy to hide when you have elite receivers. You can scheme around limitations. Even Mahomes admitted that it took him 3 years to learn how to read a defense.
@@jonpoetical we can agree to disagree I think the difference between their squads and ours (before DeVonte) is their receivers don’t struggle to get separation off the line and actually get open. Makes life a lot easier. You can’t deny that he unnecessarily scrambles when he should be staying in the pocket. Pocket qb’s win superbowls. I might add that he has a reluctance (according to the video I watched today) to throw over the middle and apparently they say AJ Brown feasts on crossing routes so he best learn to be patient and learn to throw there or we will be drafting one of the top qbs this next draft.
@@dennisfyfe920 Thank you for making my point. It's EASIER to read when you have receivers that get Separation. These Quarterbacks aren't Brady in the pocket. Devonta at times has his struggles as well. With that said, Mobile QB'S win Super Bowls as well. But that goes against the narrative. The Eagles don't Need Hurts to be a 4000 yard passer next year for them to go deep. The Eagles had 1 4000 yard passer. Probably would have a few more if McNabb didn't get Hurt. With that said, the Eagles need balance. That's the reason why they won the Super Bowl. Not because of this High Octane passing offense. Does Hurts bail early? Yes! That has to change. Do I expect a 180 from that, no! That's not realistic. Just like these expectations of growth! There's a misnomer thinking that only 5-10 Quarterbacks are capable of winning a Super Bowl. Which is the furthest thing from the truth. You can be in the 12-15 range and win Super Bowls.
i think the fact that they got A.J. Brown almost solidifies the fact that Hurts will improve throwing over the middle. If he doesn't do it right away A.J. has his ear as a close friend and wont hold back behind the scenes, im sure of it.
Dudes a runningback, he refuses to let the RBS carry the ball, well that was early this season he was like nah fam imma run this ball and not hand it off. thats why sanders and company had a total have 12 or less total carries a game. Siriani and him took to long to start learning how to run the ball and learned how to stop pulling the ball every "option" play. He isnt good, he a walmart lamar.
The problem is you clowns keep comparing him to a regular QB. He will never be a 400+ yard passer. He's gonna be a 250 plus 70 on the ground QB. This man has unfair criticism on him since day 1 due to the Carson Wentz situation. You can't punish him for Carson. You're treating him like a girl treats a new boyfriend who had a previous bad boyfriend. The man is paying for Carson crimes.
You’re exactly right about AJ Brown. As a Titans fan I’ve been wondering how he will do in a different system. This potentially answers that question. He’s incredibly gifted physically but he has made his living off of in breaking routes on play action, when the LBs panic over thinking Henry is getting the ball and leave the middle wide open. It will be interesting to see what happens for him
Alex I love you and I really love your channel. It’s my favorite channel in UA-cam. Die hard Birds fan - Minshew is going to take over for Hurts this year and do a Nick Foles repeat!!!
I have been on this train for a while thar Jalen hurts isn’t inaccurate he’s really just hasn’t truly figured out how to read defenses properly and that’s why his completion percentage is not good
As an eagle fan that's going to be our downfall Jalen Hurts cannot throw. All them teams know it. Eagles not winning division the Washington commanders hahaha I'm sorry I got to laugh. Will win this division
I don't think there is anything abour Hurts's situation wherein 2022 being a make-it-or-break-it year is absurd. Roseman and Laurie know what a successful running QB looks like (McNabb) and are aware that QB development isn't always linear. I think the team has done a good job showing faith in Jalen even while acknowledging he needs to improve to be the long-term guy. I think the team and Jalen himself will maximize his abilities.
U pointing out Reagor not even running his route hard is sad. Really hope the Eagles move on from him and I'm not even a fan of the team. His body language even says "I don't care" when he has drops half the time. At least Hurts has real weapons now
The pick before Justin Jefferson btw...
@@lukeyarasheski5510 😭😭😭😭
Well said
Reagor has started beefing with fans on social media. That's the kiss of death for a marginal player.
And how would he know that? It's always easy from the sidelines
"I'll take posts that didn't age well for 1000 Alex"
At what point do you start deleting these videos so you don’t lose any more credibility?
I don’t think he needs to change his whole game, he just needs to continue to develop pocket presence and go thru all his reads which it sounds like he’s been doing this training camp
Exactly. Pocket presence, go thru his reads and improve timing on deep balls. All can be developed
@Dorsey Dimpleman tell that to trevon diggs.
When Carson Wentz switched things up post-injury that's when things went wrong. I think that we should build a bit more of the offense surrounding Jalen Hurts. However, it would probably be less beneficial if they did it a lot as the ravens with Lamar Jackson. I can see Jalen Hurts being a good athletic quarterback and is definitely worth taking a good look at this season to see if he is a long term future qb.
Practice, means nothing unless he can show it in a real game with pressure in his face. Of course he can go through his reads when no one is rushing him. Eagles fans have 0 football IQ
@@pauls1433 what more can they add/build around. Smith is going to be pissed about the lack of targets with AJB coming in. Also, the Ravens and Lamar aren't something to point to. When Lamar can't lead playoff wins or excel against tough teams. They both need to become QB's.
You’re right. Reality really hurts. And the reality is that hurts has 16 total tds (10 passing) and only 2 picks. While being an MVP candidate. Keep that same energy when hurts wins super bowl MVP Fly Eagles Fly 🦅
Almost. Almost....

I love how people are like “stop hating” whenever you point out weaknesses in Jalens game. We aren’t hating we are just realists. Jalen is fun to watch is a great guy and an awesome leader but his passing game leaves a lot to be desired. All of us Eagles fans hope he takes big strides this year and crushes it but if you watch his tapes it shows a lot of questions that need to be answered. We all hope he is the guy but also won’t be surprised if he’s not. Go Birds!
Exactly! Whenever someone says he needs to improve a lot, people think you're a hater...
The problem is that he’s only going into his 2nd year of starting after going to the playoffs having 26 total Tds and 9 ints. What other young qb that has only started 1 full season and puts up good numbers gets scrutinized like him?? He’s still improving like every other young qb.
Stop it Mahomes said it loud & clear.
problem is HOW many years of development black QBs get compared to other Below average 1st year starting white QBs.
Thats eagles fans for you. Granted, 90% of eagles fans were already giving up on him in the first 4 weeks of last season. Now, all of Sudden he’s good enough to win the division and even a Super Bowl. Eagles fans are absolute clowns

Alex Rollins declared Justin Herbert a bust before Herbert was even drafted. It's hard to take any QB analysis by Rollins seriously.
This is so stupid. You can't dismiss well researched takes just because the person has been wrong in the past. Especially because QB evaluation is hard and Herberts college film hardly showed the level of play he displayed in the NFL. I'm sure you've been wrong about QBs before so should I just dismiss everything you bring up?
@@rolandxb3581 The way he dismissed Herbert as an NFL QB, before Herbert was even drafted, goes beyond just miscalculation, it shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
What I don't understand is how people come to these analysis with never haven played at the collegiate or professional level. And or, never allowed that player to get settled in and fully developed.

Swear. Still ain't apologize to that man either. 🤣
Welp
As an eagles fan I was more mad at the click bait title than the actual video. Made some good points. He has to somehow find a middle ground between staying in the pocket and making throws and leaving the pocket. We’ve been hearing from camp he has been throwing to the middle of the field more often and accurately. Can’t wait to see his development this year.
He does the clickbait title a lot.
This aged well lmaoooo

Same checking after the Washington game to see if he had words about hurts lmao 😂
Looks like the cover 2 shell that everyone is running isn’t working so well against hurts. We all know what happens in man coverage against hurts too lol. With the eagles also having a top 5 run offense in the league and a good ass defense…I think the rest of the NFL is in trouble.

Absolutely bizarre to watch
Looks like your takes on Tua and Jalen both got blown up this week. When can we look for your "I was wrong about Tua and Jalen" video?
😂😂😂
This didn't age well!🤨
It is more difficult for a QB to be great throwing outside the numbers than throwing inside the numbers. Part of Jalen Hurts' problem was that last season, he had inexperienced, not so physical WRs. He protected them by not throwing much over the middle. Offensive concepts dictate whether there's openings in the middle of the field.
Well so much for Alex Rollins analysis and predictions. 🤣🤣🤣 Where's the "I was dead wrong about Jalen Hurts, and here's why?
It'll come, don't worry
It feels like he was never really meant to succeed which is why I'm definetly rooting for him. Given the steps he evidently took last year I don't think it's far fetched to assume/hope that he can build on that going forward.
Apparently he's been targeting AJB relentlessly during camp. I'm curious where they'll position Brown and if they'll ask him to run over the middle as much as he has in the past
Howie drafted Jalen first and foremost because he saw value in him where they selected him. Obviously the plan was not for him to start, and certainly not as early as 2020, but I don't think Howie makes that pick if he doesn't think Hurts at least had the upside to start in the league. For how much QB prospects bust, Hurts being average or at least borderline average in the league having been a #2 validates this, and given the opportunities they had to upgrade in the offseason, I continue to believe they think he can keep growing. Maybe he was never Plan A, but I think the front office always figured he could be a strong Plan B.
Hurts has a lot of room for improvement, that's for sure. But the one thing I will say about him is that he's improved so much since he was a freshman at Alabama. I remember watching him back then, he could barely throw at all. He was basically just a running back playing QB. Then he transferred to Oklahoma and I was shocked at how much he had improved as a passer under Lincoln Riley. By all accounts he's been improving every year in the pros with Philly, too. Look at his rookie stats vs. his year 2 stats--clear improvement. I really think he's been getting better as a passer every year since 2019. I'm expecting that to continue for this season.
Hurts really started improving as a passer in the season he backed up Tua at Alabama with Dan Enos as the QB coach. He started seeing the field better and throwing with more anticipation. That was his junior year, when he came into the SEC championship game against Georgia in the 4th quarter trailing after Tua suffered a high ankle sprain and won the game with 2 TD drives. I don't think Riley would have wanted him if he hadn't shown a lot of improvement as a passer that last year at Alabama.
"It's all inbreakers over the middle where Hurts refuses to target" I think that is exactly the thinking of upper management. Give Hurts someone that can consistently win in the middle of the field and maybe he'll feel comfortable enough to throw it there.
The truth HURTS
about damn time
Wanted to use that one again, but I gotta keep it fresh
@@AlexRollinsNFL all good
Love how Hurts is under the microscope so much but he's winning. Media always talking about bringing in another QB like y'all sitting down with Jeffery Lurie and Howie Roseman. Its funny that Maholmes, Kyler Murray and Jackson are always getting scrutinized but yet a QB like Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield can play when neither one of them can lead a team to the playoffs. SMH y'all don't wanna make it about black or white but they always get scrutinized worse
Agreed 100%...Well said... Facts
He went 8-8 dude. What did he win?
This is his second year starting, always laughable at how people analyze Hurts like he is a 7th year qb.
But people still believed in Wentz, Jimmy, and Goff until last season 🤔
And you guys act like 4 games at the end of first season was not full time audition. He played lights out against the saints then regressed to who he is, and never showed anything more than who he is the entire season to the point the coach has to totally 180 his play book to try and win with this guy. He at least proved you can win some games with him but if the cards dude stb in the playoffs and he can throw on time than Jalen looking equally bad was scary cause nobody ever thought he was going to be close to him and they both struggle in the pocket cause height.
I’m not worried ab hurts, dudes work ethic is insane
Work ethic doesn't always translate, jimmy garoppolo has one of the best work ethic but isn't even half as good as kyler
@@barclaypierre740 that’s bc jimmy g doesn’t have the talent, I would say hurts is naturally more talented then jimmy
@@barclaypierre740 also if hurts can have a career as good as jimmy I think he would be considered a success. 1 super bowl appearance and a great playoff and regular season record. It’s all u can ask for someone who wasn’t a top 5 pick
@@romainvicta7392 I guess you're right
@@romainvicta7392 Except Jimmy G could throw at the middle of the field on time and automatic when he sees that route from his guys whereas Hurts can't and would would rather just shuffle and run towards the sidelines. Talent comes in different ways and for Hurts, he's hurting in talent where he has to be more consistent in the pocket. Especially with the receiver talent improving around him.
Hurts has 2 NFL seasons under his belt at age 23. Most of us can agree he has been inconsistent with his overall decision making, reading the defense, and more importantly, anticipating those quick hitters over the middle... He's only going to be 24 when this season starts. He's absolutely the leader and QB of this team right now. He still has a ton of upside, and he's got all of the "intangibles" to be a great leader. As a lifelong Eagles fan, of course I'm hoping for the best, but I'm going to have a lot more patience than most fans. We all forget sometimes just how young some of these guys are.... He's still a very young man thats still growing as a player, a leader, ect. As long as he continues to grow and get better wherever he can, he's not going anywhere. In fact, with his above average running abilities, he just needs to be a consistent above average passer, and he will be a top 7-10 QB in the league this year. He doesn't have to do anything crazy to keep his job. Just continue to get better and utilize your young playmakers. He doesn't need to necessarily carry this team. They are pretty deep at the skilled positions for a change..
Bad take
The point of view simply is myopic in that it seems to ignore coaching ability to de-emphasize weaknesses in game planning and matchups. The guy is doing fine and is progressing. seeing and reading remains his challenge yet you fail to see his developed tool kit otherwise is sufficient to march his team to the playoffs in 2022. Given a 2nd year smith, a Veteran Pascal, Speed in watkins and bulk in AJ brown, the receivers along with Goddert, Stoll, and Gainwell will help Hurts throw 4500 yards 22 passing touch downs, 450 Rushing yards, 9 running touchdowns and an NFC EAST title. Given their offensive style which was run heavy and likely will be slightly less so this year, he will come in somewhere around 360 completions on 580 Attempts which would put him at 62 percent and 7.75 per attempt: a modest improvement yet these are good stats for his second year and the increase to 7.75 will reflect the ability of AJ brown to rough up opposing corners coming off the line . Hurts' attempts could very well suffer to some degree if Hurts succeeds against better teams early on like the cards, cowboys, packers, and Titans, as Siriani will turn to the run to eat clock. Lurie/Roseman will attempt to showcase Minshew in early season blowout games in the hope of trading him for another 2023 Draft pick. If Hurts does not meet whatever the Lurie/Roseman Mendoza line is for the season, Hurts, may still be retained if he is showing signs of what the coaches feel is improvement in his game that are crucial to future success. Should Hurts stagnate they could still continue to develop late season gameplans to maximize his value for post season trading rather than focusing solely on wins for the team this year: Lurie and Roseman are too cheap to not get something for him if he does not pan out and Hurts does not have a drama queen temperament so if there is a divorce in the future it will likely be done without benching and drama as all parties are interested in maximizing their value. Since no one has an interest in Drama, I wonder what a modest Hurts success would look like followed by the Eagles trading Minshew, retaining Hurts and using their Round 1 picks to procure a top tier QB prospect?
Every year ever since he was a 18 year old freshmen at bama Hurts did nothing but improve year after year, what makes you think that'll change?
He's gotten way better. When he came into bama he was an Athlete and now He's a QB.

I would argue the play calling, especially in the first half of the season, was pretty terrible. I think both Hurts and the play calling should be better this year
There were reports that said Steichen took control of playing calling half way through the season which makes sense because that’s when they switched to a lot more focus on the ground game and there were a lot less called back touchdowns from illegal picks
@@Keegs14 I agree with that
Wow I'm shocked that a first year coach felt safe enough to give the main duty of his job over to someone else.

A lot of the concepts on Hurts’ failures sound like Nick Sirianni failing to make good offensive plays for the middle of the field

Good commentary and question; we'll see in 5 days and a wake up!
Doom n Gloom. He's gonna b fine
qb's are getting smaller in stature ...not sure if thats good?
It's not, Brees was the outlier. None of them throw over the middle
Jalen Hurts is like the complete opposite of Eagles legend Nick Foles lol.
I feel like everyone knew hurts wasn't that accurate of a qb but it wasn't all him the wr core was young and struggled to get separation at times. Also, it's not like they have tom brady waiting in the wing. Give him this season to see if he's gonna be able to progress if not.. cores solid just need a qb
Please stop young yes, but talented as heck, qeuz was open so many times and hurts didn't even look his way 80% of the time. He seemed to focus on Dallas and if he didn't get open in time possibly look for slim reaper. But unlike even qbs that others think stink can turn their hips and rescan the other side of the field because already they have(should have an idea where they are cause of the call). Kirk cousins is a great example of a so so qb but at least can scan the whole field. Even in that wild card game quez was so open nobody was within 7 yards but the issue was not even not looking his way it was not pulling the trigger. I truly hope the game slows down for him because I've seen him when he's not racing in his head and he's more accurate than it seems on film. As far as Tom Brady waiting in the wings? Gardner ran the offense the way it should be run and looked great like 260 and 2 TD. He won't ever get the spot but still using the excuse we don't have anybody better so just keep him in there isn't an argument. If he struggles with this team that basically has stars at every position[miles needs to stay healthy].

I would like to see your thoughts after this year’s body of work, because he seemed to work on a lot of things people (you and others) criticized in his game after last year. Go Birds
Obviously the Eagles at all in on Hurts. They drafted his college WR and TE. They traded for his best friend AJ brown. And added his college running back Kennedy Brooks. I think the Eagles are going to try this out for a few years.
There literally playing the 50 on hurts
that Bucs playoffs game is the nail bitter in terms of his pocket QB ability its going to be annoying af for the Eagles fans, if he didn't improve during the offseason and camp.
11:30 .. "it's all in-breakers over the middle where Hurts refuses target." 11:38 .. that didn't age well
So wait. Hurts has issues throwing over the middle and AJ Brown's strength is over the middle routes? That could be a good marriage of need and strength or it could be confirmation of his weakness there. It's like most things in the NFL, wait and see what happens and hope it pays off.
It's more that Hurts won't throw to that area than he struggles to throw there, which is why I'm concerned
@@AlexRollinsNFL I never really root against players improving as a general rule, so my hope after seeing your video is that acquiring AJ Brown then helps him learn to start throwing there to begin with. But predicting how players develop is a coin flip at best.

Your content is top notch brother keep it up
You make an often overlooked and important point about scrambling. Elite scrambling is often praised as a universal good. PFF is guilty of this. When a QB scrambles and makes a play it's always couched in a presumption that a pocket passer would have been sacked or had a throwaway on that play. Tom Brady was sacked at the lowest rate in the league (per game and per attempt) last year despite passing the most because he had the second quickest time to throw despite also throwing the most big time passes. When you see an elite scrambler make a play with their feet, it's not uncommon to hear the commentator say something like "Brady can't do that." or "that's a sack if Brady's back there". Except, no, clearly not. Because elite pocket passers like Brady buy time in the pocket and/or get the ball out on time and make clean throws under duress, which is why Brady takes sacks at a historically low rate.
QB getting sacked in 3rd and mid/long passing downs is also in part their fault nowadays. As they are trying to extend plays in the pocket as best as possible to make something happen. Burrow is guilty of this but as you see in his film even in the 2nd half the season (counting playoffs), he was taking highly calculated risks on which defender he could evade to give himself an extra second to find Chase or his 2nd/3rd read in a play. Disciplined defenses are willing to play contain rushes vs scramblers who aren't great reading the field to just get them to put the ball up and hope the safeties and secondary read him to make the play.
I agree
Exactly
Great video
Thanks!
@pedro perez, I agree there should definitely be an update to this video as the credibility meter regarding talent evaluating is hovering around a 1% at this point🤣🤣🤣🤣. The question at the end is the funniest thing about the video as of 11/2/2022.....

*That’s his WhatsAp info 👆👆*
He’s already better than I expected. I think he can keep growing. But what’s Howie gonna do with those 1sts then? Hurts isn’t safe until they get past the first round of the next draft. Probably pooping cubes like a wombat til then.
Fair enough. I believe in the human resolve. I am glad he has a chance. if he can't, the future is still hopeful for the Eagles. Go Jalen! Most of all FLYEAGLESFLY!
Looks like NFC East belongs to the Cowboys again
@@JoshT4life lol 😆
I would never watch a analysis video about a player with that kind of clickbait title but I will jump into the comments for second just to see how many people had severe doubts about him. I don’t know what your final conclusion about Jalen was in your video but I know you never saw top 3 MVP candidate coming. Good luck I guess 😅
Dude said the sky is blue. Cool bro really insightful content right here
🤡🤡🤡🤡 he’s gonna prove everyone wrong
If Hurts doesn't light up every defense with those weapons, behind that oline he's gone. No QB is in a better situation to succeed.
What do you think would happen if Jalen didn't put it all together? Imo he has improved every year since his college days, but what if last year was his ceiling as a passer? Will he be able to find success on a different team, or become a premier backup QB for rebuilding teams?
That's highly unlikely. Most nfl qbs aren't great their first year starting in the league. Adjusting to the game speed of the nfl and learning to read nfl defences usually takes a couple years. It's very premature to assume he's reached his ceiling already and doing so really shows a lack of understanding of the game. Between the weapons added on offence, the natural progression of another year in the league and the weak schedule they have this year It's most likely that hurts not only takes a step forward but a bigg one.
Using that clip of the Washinton fans falling in the intro is too funny
😬
Extend the play, extend the play, extend the play and wait for broken coverage is the major part of Mahomes game. He too is getting figured out.
Jalen hurts has out performed Tua tagovailoa, it’s not even close, and Miami just gave him the best receiving core in the game. Jalen has willed his team to wins. He’s better than the bottom ten qbs starting, and none of them are at risk of losing the whole spot
Are you dumb or something, Tua and Jalen hurts put up the same numbers besides three more rushing Tds and Tua did it with the 32nd Oline, worst Run game in the league, and no WRs besides waddle and his TE
Tua is clearly the better passer, just because Jalen hurts can run around the entire the Field, doesn't mean he's a good QB or is better than ten different starters in the NFL
I'm think hurts can improve into maybe franchise QB with what he has around him
Minshew has good numbers. No respect.

Another terrific video on Hurts. I commented on your video of him last year, essentially staring the difficulties he will have to deal with because of his limitations but more importantly the structure of the Eagles organization. The eagles are an analytical franchise that believes strongly that you win by passing in the NFL. While this belief is correct, it can result in forcing poorly constructed rosters and quarterbacks who are not capable of throwing the ball with no cap on their attempts into bad positions. It is the reason Carson Wentz failed. He was/is not capable of throwing 40+ times a game, and certainly not when they couldn’t protect him due to an aging Jason Peters, Isaac Seumolo at left guard, an always injured Brandon brooks, Lane Johnson’s injury struggles, and a first round left tackle in Andre Dillard who couldn’t take over for Peters. Forcing a quarterback who doesn’t have great pocket presence and isn’t very cerebral to drop back 40+ times a game behind an offensive line that can’t pass protect is a recipe for disaster; especially when that quarterback is injury prone. Inevitably his eye level will drop out of fear of being hit, which is represented in a drop off in yards per attempt.
This brings me to Hurts. The eagles offensive line is LEAGUES better then what they had in 2020 under Wentz, and certainly having receivers like AJ and Devonta are much better then what Wentz was working with. However Hurts still falls under the category of quarterbacks you don’t want throwing the ball more then 40+ times a game (you probably don’t want him throwing more then 30+ times a game). He is not cerebral, he lacks pocket presence and struggles resetting his pocket, he is not very accurate, and he is not a big quarterback so he struggles seeing over his linemen which lends to his inability to throw in the middle of the field. I would also like to mention that while Hurts does not have an extensive injury history, he is not as big as people seem to believe and he exposes himself to awkward hits inside and outside of the pocket.
The biggest thing I would like to say is in relation to your comments regarding quarterbacks who leave the pocket too early and leave plays on the field. I am a Saints fan and I had the privilege to watch one of the greatest duos in the NFL’s history in Sean Payton and Drew Brees. I hold Payton in the highest of regards and almost all of my knowledge and understanding of football can be attributed to them. But in the tail end of his tenure the New Orleans, when he was touting Taysom Hill as the next franchise quarterback, he would talk about how important it is to have a quarterback that can and will operate outside of the pocket A.K.A. Outside of the structure of the offense.
Alex, you put up different plays on your channel, do you think any of those plays that the coaches drew up were ever intended to be executed NOT in compliance with the way they were drawn up? No coach in the history of football at any level has ever drawn up a play with the hopes that it would fail and the quarterback would be forced to operate outside of the structure. Every play ever drawn up has been designed to SUCCEED, not to fail. A perfect play would executed exactly as it was drawn up every time. Obviously it is unrealistic to say that it is a possibility to be perfect on every play (no one wants a Mike Glennonesque statue under center), however Super Bowls are won three ways offensively (for the most part): 1. Threw the air 2. In the pocket 3. Over the middle of the field
I’ll conclude this obnoxiously long comment by saying that yes, Jalen has improved from his time at Alabama and even between his first and second season in the NFL. However those improvements have been incremental at best, and he plays for a franchise that values a quarterbacks ability to carry the team on his back THROUGH THE AIR, not on the ground. And that franchise won’t hesitate to replace their quarterback when they feel like he can’t do that for them, which is the exact way Jalen found himself to be the Eagles starter.
The fact someone wants to sponsor an idiot like you is baffling.
@@EJS919 through his first two years he’s got better numbers than Justin Herbert so your whole take is absurd
@@francurran would you mind telling me the numbers you are referring to? Perhaps you’re right but I’m just not sure what numbers you mean.
Your video is a CHEAP CLICK BAIT POS BS VIDEO
Plenty of one read QB’s in the league, most of them on the bench or practice squad. Having the best o line in the league and his leading the league in time until he throws (and it’s not from the pocket either) tells you all you need to know and it’s not good
Plenty of "One Read" Quarterbacks have had elite talent to mask that fact. Mahomes, Allen, Murray, Burrow....
@@jonpoetical I don’t believe they are one read qb’s but rather are similar to Drew Bree’s or Brady who scan the entire field and never take their eye off of downfield. Hurts has one of if not the best o line in football so SHOULD be able to stay in the pocket to get better longer completions but opts to scramble if his main read is covered. Not a good long term habit for longevity.
@@dennisfyfe920 They ARE one read Quarterbacks. It's easy to hide when you have elite receivers. You can scheme around limitations. Even Mahomes admitted that it took him 3 years to learn how to read a defense.
@@jonpoetical we can agree to disagree I think the difference between their squads and ours (before DeVonte) is their receivers don’t struggle to get separation off the line and actually get open. Makes life a lot easier. You can’t deny that he unnecessarily scrambles when he should be staying in the pocket. Pocket qb’s win superbowls. I might add that he has a reluctance (according to the video I watched today) to throw over the middle and apparently they say AJ Brown feasts on crossing routes so he best learn to be patient and learn to throw there or we will be drafting one of the top qbs this next draft.
@@dennisfyfe920 Thank you for making my point. It's EASIER to read when you have receivers that get Separation. These Quarterbacks aren't Brady in the pocket. Devonta at times has his struggles as well. With that said, Mobile QB'S win Super Bowls as well. But that goes against the narrative. The Eagles don't Need Hurts to be a 4000 yard passer next year for them to go deep. The Eagles had 1 4000 yard passer. Probably would have a few more if McNabb didn't get Hurt. With that said, the Eagles need balance. That's the reason why they won the Super Bowl. Not because of this High Octane passing offense. Does Hurts bail early? Yes! That has to change. Do I expect a 180 from that, no! That's not realistic. Just like these expectations of growth! There's a misnomer thinking that only 5-10 Quarterbacks are capable of winning a Super Bowl. Which is the furthest thing from the truth. You can be in the 12-15 range and win Super Bowls.
This did not age well
i think the fact that they got A.J. Brown almost solidifies the fact that Hurts will improve throwing over the middle. If he doesn't do it right away A.J. has his ear as a close friend and wont hold back behind the scenes, im sure of it.
Dudes a runningback, he refuses to let the RBS carry the ball, well that was early this season he was like nah fam imma run this ball and not hand it off. thats why sanders and company had a total have 12 or less total carries a game. Siriani and him took to long to start learning how to run the ball and learned how to stop pulling the ball every "option" play. He isnt good, he a walmart lamar.
The problem is you clowns keep comparing him to a regular QB. He will never be a 400+ yard passer. He's gonna be a 250 plus 70 on the ground QB. This man has unfair criticism on him since day 1 due to the Carson Wentz situation. You can't punish him for Carson. You're treating him like a girl treats a new boyfriend who had a previous bad boyfriend. The man is paying for Carson crimes.
This is my first time watching this channel… but this dude knows a lot about football. I’m assuming he is a football coach
Welcome my man
You’re exactly right about AJ Brown. As a Titans fan I’ve been wondering how he will do in a different system. This potentially answers that question. He’s incredibly gifted physically but he has made his living off of in breaking routes on play action, when the LBs panic over thinking Henry is getting the ball and leave the middle wide open. It will be interesting to see what happens for him
Hmm
Lmao
Alex I love you and I really love your channel. It’s my favorite channel in UA-cam. Die hard Birds fan - Minshew is going to take over for Hurts this year and do a Nick Foles repeat!!!
Thanks brother! Haha yesss I love the optimism
I have been on this train for a while thar Jalen hurts isn’t inaccurate he’s really just hasn’t truly figured out how to read defenses properly and that’s why his completion percentage is not good
what picks we got next year?
well this year
Yours and the Saints
As an eagle fan that's going to be our downfall Jalen Hurts cannot throw. All them teams know it. Eagles not winning division the Washington commanders hahaha I'm sorry I got to laugh. Will win this division
Hahaha
I don't think there is anything abour Hurts's situation wherein 2022 being a make-it-or-break-it year is absurd. Roseman and Laurie know what a successful running QB looks like (McNabb) and are aware that QB development isn't always linear. I think the team has done a good job showing faith in Jalen even while acknowledging he needs to improve to be the long-term guy. I think the team and Jalen himself will maximize his abilities.
