If they do, it will be a massive contract flushed down the toilet. There is no valid reason to bring him back. Him returning gives us our 2nd best OL combination, IMO. I believe Corbett is more of a drop off from Mays moving to center than the drop off from Hunt to Corbett at OG. Not using that to say Hunt isn't very good but Corbett at C is atrocious.

On what planet is Hurts the best QB drafted from 2020-2025?? poo, what galaxy?

Hopium is a hellava drug. Anyone sold on Bryce at this point is just being willfully ignorant. Not saying with 100% certainty that he won't pan out at some point but I don't think we have the luxury of waiting another 4-6 seasons for that to happen, if that were even a possibility.

Mays, Horn and Moehrig back are a big deal. The LB's....eh....not that relevant.

Hurts is probably in that tier 2 of NFL QB's and arguably a Tier 3 guy. Ironically, his biggest advantages to a team built like Philly are his legs and him being such a conservative QB's that he keeps TO's very low. So, basically a running game manager. To his credit, he has a 2.4:1 TD:INT ratio. He is also a very accurate passer at almost 65% career completion percentage. So, basically what you want Bryce to be as a successful game managing QB(minus the running).

Yeah, Brooks is a very poor gamble as a backup and Etienne is a true #3 RB, by which I mean if he didn't play special teams he would be on a PS.

We don't know that Dowdle will be pricey. Remember we signed him for nickels after a 1k+ yd rushing campaign.

He isn't the last QB in YPG. There are a few actually below him.

The variance back to 1990 was only 2.4. If anything, the rushing attempts have been one of the most stable aspects over that span. Output had some significant variance and efficiency. It was the passing offense that was far more volatile.

Rushing attempts PG are actually the 5th lowest since 1990.

If he is healthy soon enough, it could impact our future plans at RB. We will see what happens. I think I would rather re-sign Dowdle and have a safer, surer option.

I think that is a very, very. VERY small issue with them. I think they just generally aren't as good as they used to be. If you look across the board at their roster, the talent level isn't as high.

I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago). I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.

I don't think the statistics bear out this viewpoint.

Well, he made JJ McCarthy look pretty good is all I will say.

That facemask was such BS. Lol

I don't think it has much to do with that. You just can't keep increasing the amount of games without this being inevitable. fug PS spots, the NFLPA should push for larger game day rosters the next time 18 games comes up.

He is going to have to change considerably from what he was in college for him to become a long term NFL starter.

Baker's injury severely hurts their chances.

I would feel bad for KC's OL injury luck if we literally hadn't had more of it.

Also, can the Sanders stans just fuging chill? I say that as a guy that had him as the #2 QB in this class but ya'll are obsessed to an unhealthy level.

Man....he was really, really, REALLY bad in his start.

It also REALLY fugs up the Colts future plans.

Garrett may break the NFL record today. Lol

It really sucks. It was nice to see his career resurgence there.
