"Flower Power In The Jalen Hurts Era" *2021 Philadelphia Eagles Season Thread*
- Thread starter So UnThotful
- Start date
I agree this season is a final exam. I dont think it's a rush to bench or change QBs either way it's a win win due to draft capital
Yeah, they obviously shouldn’t change QBs now, because Flacco and Minshew aren’t going to give you anything that Hurts can’t.
Sirianni could have helped Hurts a lot more with the run game, but Hurts was panicking under pressure, looking to run way too often, and often missing the easy passes Sirianni did dial up. And at the end of the day, Hurts has to be the the guy the offense flows through, not Sanders. If he can’t be relied on to do that, then we need another QB.
One thing I think we also just need to accept is that this just isn’t a very talented team.

Dude came out like he got Justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes Rodgers under center. There are only one hand full of QBs who can win the way he coached last night

This is my issue too
Everyone keeps trying to bring up arm strength, but when he steps up properly in the pocket or is rolling to his right we've seen him throw some beautiful deep passes.
It's the rushed passes with awkward footwork where he puts up the pop flys that are the problem
I think he's a worker so I'll expect to see alot lesss of that going forward, but if he can't get comfortable in the pocket it's an issue

Bro aint no team winning running the ball 3 times no matter who the qb is

Hurts, Sirianni, and the LBs all look ass so far
How many times is Hurts going to underthrow jump balls into double coverage. Seth Joyner called him a 1 read QB in the post game and right now that’s what it seems like. Stays locking on a receiver and staring them down, lead to a pick 6 in this game
Also Hurts ability to roll out and accurately throw on the run looks sus so far. Even when sirianni tried to put in some short/intermediate plays to get hurts in a groove he was throwing behind dudes or under throwing it
And if your 2nd yr QB is so shook and mid looking that the announcers start jeulzing about him “basically being a rookie” then why the hell make him drop back 30+ times. Especially when Dallas was using a balanced blueprint to run the ball down your throat to the point your defense was on edge getting hella pre snap penalties. Kellen Moore, who was the other top candidate for the Eagles job, was literally showing his dumbass the benefit of a balanced attack and sirianni dug in even more putting pressure on a mid Hurts
corny ass LBs misread all game, never plugging their gaps on the run plays. Singleton made blocking TEs look like Kelce out there, always 3 steps behind on the route then got juked out his mullet on that one long play up the sideline. Sucked seeing Parsons on the other side showing what having a stud LB might look like

Let's see if the veterans step up to this coach and help him like Doug. He needs it and Howie or somebody should of had someone around older for him. This is not college
They both sucked and Sirianni should have called more run plays, I already acknowledged that. He was terrible.
But I don’t want to have to rely primarily on the run because we can’t pass, either. And if that’s what we have to rely on this year because Hurts can’t be trusted to be an efficient passer, then the Eagles need a new QB in 2022.

What was Godert doing?
I know he may have an assignment but if he at least shoulder Micah it woulda allowed Jalen to get the edge. Gotta know who's on the field

Goedert was lead blocking and probably thought Jalen could outrun Micah (which he cant)
