'Hurts is garbage' was the general consensus here when he was coming out in the draft. I honestly don't remember him having any real fans, but I definitely wasn't in the majority whose sentiment of Hurts was he couldn't make it as a NFL QB.

The guy has absolutely worked his ass off to get better.

Those are the guys we need.

Hurts has worked hard to make himself what he is today as a player and a leader, happy for him.

However he would not be where he is if we had drafted him. His Coaching would have been much worse. Philly has the best Oline in the NFL, and have depth too. Our Oline was good this year, but still isn't as good as Philly. Philly has very good receivers with 1a Brown and 1b Smith along with a couple other guys who compliment well. Goedert is a very good TE as well, we don't have that. Sanders is a really good all around RB too. We just wouldn't have offered Hurts the same opportunities under Fhule

he also went in the third. he didn't go top ten like Lance and Fields, who are actually garbage. Or Wilson. Speaking of Wilson, Russell went in the third. HEY WE HAVE A QB THAT WENT IN THE THIRD AND DESERVES A CHANCE TOO, but this fanbase wants flashy flash flash quarterbacks every year.

His OC has the best roster in football.

Eagles have 2 #1 WR a top 10 TE and a top 5 RB and the best Oline in football.

 

Are you sure he's going to be that impactful with this offense and our lack of weapons?

So what you're saying is ... hire a guy who either turned a bad team around, or improved a poor team's record? So ... Rhule or Wilks?

There are many factors contributing to a QB's success or failure at the NFL level. Some, like drive, learning curve, ability to process at the speed needed in the league, are extremely hard to measure, so while QB prospects are put under an intense microscope pre draft, what often gets overlooked is how unmeasurable these things are, and how this contributes to the crapshoot nature of drafting a QB.

The other thing that I think is overlooked and borderline ignored most of the time, his how big a factor the specific circumstances a young QB finds himself in influence the outcome. The quality of the OL he plays behind, his skill position players, the fit of the scheme to his skillset, the quality of the coaching he receives. Keep in mind all these things matter, and they can vary greatly from team to team.

A common fan perspective is to lament that we could have had so and so player and we didn't draft him. I believe the problem with this idea is the notion that player x's outcome is mostly about him, and that if he were here, the outcome would largely have been the same. I am becoming increasingly of the opinion that environmental factors play a much bigger role in a prospects success or failure at the NFL level than most fans are inclined to consider.

What if we had drafted Hurts?

Maybe he'd have had not nearly as much success if he'd come here.

Coaches play a huge part in the success or failure of football players. Moreover, the notion that players should play right away, particularly QBs, can have profound effect upon the suceea or failure of players as well. Time, patience and coaching means a lot in the success or failure for players.

Yes, he was also a big reason why Herbert went from a raw prospect that many people thought would bust to a top 10 QB.

It's time to get on the Shane train

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
