You have some Confirmation Bias going on. You are looking at everything through the lens of your early calls on Hurts, and instead of looking at his play as it is, you're constantly seeing the things you made up your mind about during his college career. Game 1, he was better than he looked during the game. He actually saved that Lions game in several spots. Now, this game, he was completely dominant and you're picking nits about his performance.He's been in the game thread literally hating him. DJax hates Hurts because he blames Hurts for Wentz leaving.DJax.....no more hatin on Hurts. Kid was fantastic tonight. Seasons still young but he's shown massive improvement from last year.
Team got a hair too conservative in the second half on offense I thought, but defense was superb. Slay an easy call for NFC DPOW.
So impressed by the play on both sides of the ball tonight!
Nope I don't like Hurts because I think numerious Hurts fans overrate the guy routinely. Also I think people just pile on to root for Hurts in spite of Wentz not realizing everything that went on. Its like the people who just pile on to hate certain bands because the popular kids don't like them. And the sports media here is no better fueling that. Every day I see some Philly site bringing up Carson again? Why he's gone? Lets worry about our guys now. Fortunately for me I've been able to talk to at least 2 people one who was on the coaching staff and Kelce's FIL who have shared numerious stories or called out stories from the media. I also know one of the media beat writers who lives in my area who didn't partake in the click baiting headlines numerious others did. I used all that info plus my other contacts and formed an opinion. I feel he's getting the Ben Simmons hatred when really he shouldn't be. Carson didn't fake mental illness nor refused to play. Fans and media take their hatred for guys too personal.
I think Carson just gets a lot of unnecessary hate. It's too the point people won't even credit him for being a part of the SB team and forget how he put a trash can receiving corps on his back threw for over 4K and 35TDS and got to the playoffs in '19.
I like Hurts as a Person. I've just seen a lot of QBs like Hurts before. All the same. One read QBs decent athletic mobility, give you a game like tonight every few games creating false hope. Playoffs come and they can't produce. Do I hope he proves me wrong? Sure but I don't think he's a guy who can be relied on to win comeback games. He does have all the pieces to succeed around him though this year so if he fails its on him and no one else. In fact Wentz at least had some legit excuses from Doug's play calling to lack of weapons. Hurts has non of those excuses. The org learned from their mistakes from the Carson stuff and put pieces around Hurts to succeed. like I said if he fails at this point its on him.
Check out Baldy's breakdown of the first drive. There's even a breakdown of a play you called out in the game thread. You said he missed a wide open DeVonta on the completion to Goedert. Watch the play again- Hurts made a great decision and picked up 19 yds. Hurts was dominant in this game, not just good. Nobody is annointing him, yet. But, man, it gets tiresome hearing somebody pick nits when their team is having an outstanding performance.
I like you, and I appreciate your input into the team threads. But, please do a reset on the 'Hurts sucks' schtick.
