He seems to always get them a first down when they need it. I haven't really seen Laporta break games open like the other guys, either. I think they're both great TEs, just not really incredible like the other two you mentioned.

I've seen Laporta break tackles and take them to the house 50+ yards definitely not consistently at this point but yeah. 

 

And that's exactly what I said Kraft does... hes just not a guy whose gonna draw extra coverage or break a game open.

Hurts is azz....

 

Dude is as accurate as a sawed off shotgun at 75 yards...   holds the ball forever too

Another QB who has been very ordinary after looking like an MVP candidate a few years ago.

I'd be nervous if I was the Eagles. With the way they dominated the box score in the 1st half that scoreboard is WAY too close.

Agreed they’re letting them hang around. I think Hurts just isn’t really that dude.

Herbert isn't all that surprising but Love and instances like Sam Darnold looking like the old Sam Darnold should be a good reason for us to not go out of our way to read too much into some of these recent games from our own QB. Plenty of quarterbacks have put together handfuls of good games and then came back down to Earth. It's hard to find the guys with staying power. Maybe stating the obvious there but it's difficult to have conversations about this here sometimes without removing emotion.

We're not going to know until we can actually get back into the playoffs. After that, well, I'll put it this way. There's a fierce argument about whether Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson deserves to be this season's MVP. Yet, neither have even reached a Super Bowl yet and it's guaranteed one will - once again - won't get there. Meanwhile, you had guys like Matthew Stafford, Nick Foles, and Joe Flacco win a SB. Purdy may be slandered for not being that good, but he at least could say he's played in two SBs. 

Basically, you could have the best QB and not even get a shot for the Lombardi while you could have a mid QB and win it all. We frigging lost to a noddle arm QB

Texans and Bills also started slow, but they pulled away the second half. Eagles will need to do the same, and that starts by not allowing a TD here.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
