For Eagles fans, how do you rank the top 5 NFL QBs?
For NFL, not fantasy.
Who do I want? or who do I think is best? Different answers. I wouldn’t trade Hurts for anybody, so, as a fan- he’s my #1.
Top 5 in the NFL:
Maholmes
Burrow
Hurts
Allen
Lamar
I think the question is who would you want. Presumably because you think they're the best.
Better way would be if you were starting a team as a GM for this 1 year and all had same salary, how would you rank them?
I don’t think Hurts is the best. Maholmes can do things physically that Hurts can’t do. And he has been better, longer.
Burrow is the best pure pocket passer in the league. And his understanding of the game and processing speed is elite. He also is a cool-headed assasin: game on the line, chances are he will score. We’ll see how his career ends up, but he looks like he could be ‘the next Brady’ if we’re annointing anyone.
Hurts/Allen very similar in a lot of ways. Allen has a howitzer for an arm, and I think relies on his arm strength too much. He plays hero ball and forces things, too much. He is ohysically the most gifted of all if them. And I think that has hindered his development.
Lamar is a freak, can do it all. But he disappears in some games and hasn’t shown he can stay healthy. Another guy that you feel good about your chances if he has the ball and has to score.
Hurts has shown me he is accurate and has enough arm to make all the throws. Thise were huge question marks on him coming into the league. What I really love about him is his mental toughness. He eats, sleeps, breathes football. He can shake off bad plays and bounce right back and put together a game-killing drive. He is an outstanding leader, because he leads by example and takes accountability. The temperament of the Eagles is shaped by Hurts. He is the reason numerous vets are wtill okaying this year. He is the reason a lot of FAs sign in Philly.
My favorite thing about Hurts is that he is clutch. Game on the line, I’m confident he is going to come up with the play and get the win. Not just hopeful, confident. After a lot of heartbreak with McNabb, that is such a refreshing change.
