If you have to go 2-3 pages back to find what you were saying, it’s probably too old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superduperman Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 But now that it's current again... I think Hurts and Jackson, and other QBs who are great runners and good-not-great passers, are franchise QBs for as long as they last, but you better count on that not being a long time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the nature of QB (where you’re getting hit or bumped on every offensive play) makes this harder. By nature of the position, CB can go stretches without serious contact - especially a “don’t throw it in his direction” type of player like Green. QBs will get bumped and bruised, so the athletic ability will start to erode. Just my thoughts on that - I see what you’re saying though.

Not sure what the best thing to do is. But back to this subject It'll be interesting to see how Hurts is paid. He's got one more year on the rookie deal right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I have to admit, I was completely wrong about Hurts. Dude is a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezla Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) Yes, but he won't have the longevity that franchise pocket QB's have. He'll be a franchise QB until he's 28/29, then be average when his legs are no longer something defenses need to sweat over, ala McNabb. Until that time though, he's a franchise QB.

This is assuming he doesn’t continue to develop as a passer. However, based on the improvement we’ve seen in the last 5 years, he would be the non-prototypical QB that I would bet on to evolve and develop his pocket passing skill over time.

Dr A W Niloc Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Yes, and by just about every metric. The catch is that running QBs don't tend to remain elite as long as we might hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
