I’d love an explanation as to how I’m stereotyping by thinking Hurts is a franchise QB…

What on Earth? Now you’re putting Hurts in the same category as Bennett (who’s not even a starter) and Young (he’s yet to prove anything)? I’m not seeing these physical limitations you’re talking about. Hurts is able to push the ball downfield when he wants. Young so far has not shown that ability.

Of all your opinions, that's... certainly one of them.

Last year against us he blew past the entire defense and scored... He won the game. This year against the Bills he blew past the entire defense and scored.... He won the game. He has more of those kinds of moments each season.

I disagree. A game manager QB is someone who stays out of the way and rarely influence's the game's outcome. Jalen Hurts can often win games almost by himself, much like Andrew Luck did. That's a franchise level QB. And AJ Brown was doing horribly in Tennessee. And then suddenly he exploded once brought in to work with Hurts. You ask any Eagles player if Hurts makes them a better team, and I guarantee you they will all say the same thing.

You're changing your question. The question I answered was: And I provided answers as to why he originally was not the backup QB.

I think you're selling Jalen way too short here. But I'll play: 1. Minshew was outdueling Sam consistently during training camp. I saw it in person. At times Gardner was also beating Anthony. 2. Gardner simply has more experience than Sam, specifically on being a starter. 3. Once Minshew became the backup QB, he stepped in several times and was winning games early on this season. 4. You don't make a drastic change like benching Minshew for Sam when the team is in the playoff hunt and is winning.

One of the worst drops of his career. I'm not sure what to think of Sam. I'm actually a little surprised he was able to stay here in the off-season. He must be that good to convince Steichen to keep him. He's obviously not better than Richardson, but he is better than Eason.

People will always need a villain to rail against. It's human nature and helps justify (however right or wrong) our actions.

Not imagining it all. He's getting more comfortable with the offense and when he can stay calm and make his reads he can absolutely shred coverage. When he needs to make a play, he makes a play at those crucial moments.

He'll be throwing tennis balls in no time

EJ Speed was on Zaire Franklin's podcast and seemed okay. Said he'd be ready to go for Sunday.

A happy holidays to you as well! Really knowledgeable posters have come and gone, and I've learned a lot from them as the years have gone by. I originally joined my senior year in high school around 2006. Then I lost my account and email address and had to create a new one. Don't even remember what my user name was on the previous website... I think it had something to do with running.

Heck no to signing him. No I didn’t see that. That’s absolutely heartbreaking…

Tush push only works when you have a hall of fame center and a franchise QB.

Helps Houston as well. It might really be three South teams repping this year.

Steelers will get one more shot it looks like. Oh nevermind, Elliot just buried them lol

lol a 4th and 2 and you take a deep shot with Mitchell? Bad call there.

Boo birds out again. Almost picked off yet again.

Seems like every other pass from Trubisky could be picked off.

You will find many people who live in Indiana loathe the Steelers. Move closer to Cincinnati and the hatred gets stronger thanks to a mix of Colts and Bengals fans.

Still hoping for a tie. Maybe the Steelers will get a pick six.

The more I think about it, more Patriots wins down the stretch means no Caleb Williams or Maye.

Steelers are missing the playoffs. Losing to Cardinals and now Patriots… that’s back to back weeks against 2 win teams. Looks like Canada was the scapegoat.

Same! I normally don’t change my picks but I had a feeling.
