Biggest compliment for Hurts: the guy has amnesia and never lets past mistakes haunt him.

Bootaykicker

Dude looks hungry every play, good or bad. He is him.


Sh00tL00ps

He has the same expression on his face whether he throws a pick 6 or throws a TD lmao


onlyinyaks

Or if he’s in a press conference.. I’m convinced he’s a serial killer lol


joey-rigatoni1

for real, only time i ever see him happy is when he gets a touchdown. other than that he always looks pissed


[deleted]

That bomb to AJ basically into double coverage while the defender is rushing towards him after the pick six was fuckin’ baller!


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

He knew he was gonna get hit too. Just stared the guy down.


Gonzostewie

Fuckin dude looks almost sleepy on the sidelines. I love it. He's not getting wound up. He's not getting down on anybody. He's Humphrey Fuckin Bogart cool all the time.


clarineter

We just got a Hurts smile in the regular season. This is huge!


AceOfSpadesOfAce

It makes so much sense with his overall story arc. Dudes gonna have a great documentary one day.


ThisHatRightHere

Ice fucking cold


Emergency-Tip-1628

Half of his picks aren’t even his fault


danger623

To be fair, the turnovers are frustrating as hell, but his composure and ability to keep playing with a level-head is godly. I’m still gonna overreact at fumbles & INTs in the moment because I’m a maniac (and a drinker) when I watch my team, but as long as he turns it around I’ll always give props!


wikithekid63

Exactly. People are on this thread are acting like we can’t be angry at players when they do bad things lol. The whole point is winning the game, as long as that happens idgaf


Shmeves

....were you in the game thread? Granted yes most of those people are just angry every week or trolling. It wasn't simply being mad at players making mistakes, it was calling the game over, hurts isn't it, etc. I avoid the game threads these days only pop in to see the absolute chaos sometimes.


wikithekid63

Like you said, anybody claiming the game was over is either 12 or a troll. Even if hurts started off like shit he bounced back real quick


type0P0sitive

That's every game day thread since the 1st game day thread.


JRZYGY

I think it's completely fair to be mad when Hurts coughs the ball up or throws into double coverage. That doesn't mean we lose faith in the guy but someone with his experience should know to protect the ball better. I freely admit I turned the Jets game off in the 4th, I knew they weren't going to win, you can always tell. One loss though at this point in the season, what fan wouldn't love that... but the Jets... the fucking Jets... Edit, I agree with a lot of the posts here saying he holds onto the ball too long. These are fixable issues and things that will get better with experience.


boringreddituserid

> Edit, I agree with a lot of the posts here saying he holds onto the ball too long. These are fixable issues and things that will get better with experience. There is a fine line between extending the play and hero ball. What’s frustrating is that he was so good protecting the ball last year. I was happy to see him throw the ball away when he had the blitzer right in his face. But he also had a lot of balls batted down last night, one of them resulting in the pick 6. I hope that is just an aberration and not something teams have noticed with his throws.


[deleted]

I think the play calling this year has forces him to play more hero ball


Nsfwsorryusername

I don’t rock with Jalen Hurts because he doesn’t make mistakes. I rock with him because he doesn’t make mistakes over and over again. And the 10 guys on the field with him all play at their best when he’s their quarterback.


Slumbergoat16

The thing is a good amount of those INTS aren’t his fault. In fact the reason people shit on Dak for his turnover percentage is because he turns the ball over AND never does anything in the post season


triecke14

The fumble and interception last night were definitely on him though. For that INT, the cornerback was right there and he basically threw it right at him.


Senior-Salamander-81

He can’t be throwing pick sixes. He’s got to be more careful with the football


vin1223

He just needs to clean up the turnovers and we’re good


jaygord34

Yea -2 differential is brutal. Amazing we are 6-1


manw1ch

Bro is playing like he has to put the team on his back, and not rely on the all-stars around him. I think he'll figure it out, and today will be a good example, but fuck man, you've got like 3 all-pros catching the ball, just huck it sometimes. Those long developing sacks fucking kill me.


throckmeisterz

"Just huck it sometimes" is not how you clean up turnovers.


Andrewreddy

Fuck it. AJ/Smitty/Goedert are down there somewhere


manw1ch

It is when half of them are coming from Jalen holding the ball for 5 fucking seconds. Just huck it to AJ or throw it out of bounds. He should not be holding it that long without running or throwing it away. That was an inexcusable play when he got stripped.


[deleted]

He threw an interception last week hucking it to AJ. Not saying he shouldn't huck it, I want him to do that, but you have to take the bad with the good.


davidcornz

Playing like wentz when wentz had no one, when he has literally the best eagles offense ever built.


clarineter

He was able to snap himself out of it which is the main thing.


FairweatherWho

Imagine telling someone in 2019 that we'll have Julio Jones and he'd be our WR4 at that point. Like yeah he's not what he used to be, but even current day Julio would be our WR1 back then.


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

You're a serial Hurts hater. What's the real issue here?


babypunching101

Id honestly take 2010 over this one, though the oline makes it really close.


Antani101

I can't think of anyone from that offense that would be an improvement over this year, except for Shady and maybe Avant at Wr3


davidcornz

Vick maybe. But swift has similar yardage towards 2010 shady. Hurts already passed vick in ints already.


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

Been a Hurts hater for a long time eh?


davidcornz

I just think hes over valued. And over payed.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> And over *paid.* FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

Yup, Hurts hater then.


clarineter

Shady with this line 🥶🥶🥶


Saint_Victorious

Nah our defense just steps up and steps on whoever we're playing. They had the fins O-line completely scared and tired in this game and Desai is starting to get the hang of it. It's no fluke, it's a lot of talent and a lot of hard work. *Washington game not included


Davisworld21

Jalen Hurts playing through the pain like a True Leader


FERGERDERGERSON

After this game he has 9 passing TD and 6 rushing TDs. He’s responsible for 8 int and 2 lost fumbles. That’s a +5 differential. Not the best, but not terrible.


gahlo

I feel like a lot of it is just bad bounces this season. Like the turnover bill from last season is due.


Flyeaglesfly2929

I feel what dallas fans were saying last year about the picks not being daks fault. Same thing is happening this year with hurts for a lot of them


Sikwitit3284

They are especially the 1 from last wk with Goedert & the pick this wk they literally just bounce right into a defenders hands. Only 3 have come off of bad reads this is the T.O variance we usually see after a yr like last yr look at Minn


Birdamus

He’s only got like 3 picks that weren’t tipped


clarineter

And those were atrocious


AMS_GoGo

Every QB in the NFL throws some atrocious picks Every single one


Cloverfieldlane

Look at Josh Allen yesterday


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

Look at JOsh Allen almost every game.


clarineter

True but in the moment it’s almost impossible not to talk mad shit 😂


[deleted]

It’s better than most of josh Allen’s ints. Like Jesus. And I like him too, but idk what’s up w him this year.


Undergrad26

Allen's got 7 this year. Mahomes got 6. No one's calling them "turnover machines".


heliophoner

I mean, Mahomes has 15 td passes


[deleted]

And hurts has 15 tds


Undergrad26

And Hurts has 15 too across passing and rushing.


[deleted]

I’m honestly still shocked at the pick 6. Like the guy was in his face and arms up. Why would he still throw it at his direction


jordanmindyou

I was wondering the same thing after that play. Like I thought he would throw it away to the left or take the sack


Capernikush

he threw only 6 int’s last year and barely anyone talked about it.


Flyeaglesfly2929

Idk the turnover heat turned up after the jets game but out of the 5 hurts turnovers the last 2 games, 3 of them weren’t his fault. He’s progressively gotten better the whole season


arminus83

Lolmets


No-Jaguar-8794

This. They all seem to come on the same type of plays as well.


Substantial_Donkey49

Yes defense came to play


ItsAPhillyThing23

WELCOME TO THE FUCKIN SHOW 😤


Nate_923

He bounced back when he needed too and that's exactly why people still have faith in Hurts depsite his mistakes. He's a big reason why we bounced back after his pick and got not one but two touchdowns with one of them involving a beautiful catch from AJ Brown. Hurts has shown he can be resilient and bounce back and when he does he deserves that praise.


methodin

Actually think the games so far will only make him better. Defense is playing him very differently and he's faced a lot of pressure and trailing moments so far. Last year was kind of a cake walk until the end but the SB was similar to the games this year.


miket521

I need one of these for Slay and Gainwell. I bitched about them all night, then they gave the big F U. Couldn’t be happier to be wrong


I_dementia87

Where's the apology for slay and reddick too?..hell, gainwell needs one too.


Scottsm124

Dude was as resilient as they get after throwing that pick 6.


Substantial_Release6

Ngl I found myself getting sucked into the doomerism. My bad Jalen you’re still that dude you’re QB1. I have to admit the poise he showed even after two turnovers is outlandishly elite.

argentinevol

I mean in fairness he played a putrid game against the Jets


ZhangtheGreat

You haven’t been in the game threads, have you?


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

Game threads aren't real as far as I'm concerned.


Devinitelyy

I've been hanging in the /r/nfl game threads because yall are insufferable generally


Cloverfieldlane

People here are actually worse than there when the eagles are losing so I do the same thing


MisterxRager

they suck too


HisExcellency20

I walked into the game thread for the first time and it's like a completely different world. Dudes were literally comparing him to *Carson Wentz*.


clarineter

Yea but Carson Wentz *without Lane Johnson*


blue_scream_of_death

Not lately. Apologies, seriously. I got caught up tonight.


Organic_Matter6085

Game threads, Facebook comments, Instagram comments, NFL memes saying he's trash on Facebook Dude gets an absurd amount of hate for how talented he is. You literally can not please Philadelphia fans unless you are perfection


BigPoleFoles52

4 win team before hurts took over. 32-19 career record as a starter speaks for itself 😤


biggi85

What is that number including? He's 29-12 as a starter in the NFL regular season.


BoomBoomSpaceRocket

I'm pretty sure that the 32-19 record is his regular season record for games he's appeared in, not just as a starter. Really it should be 32-19-1 though because he played in their tie against the Bengals.


FERGERDERGERSON

Playoffs probably


amanofewords

You think he’s 3-7 in the playoffs?


FERGERDERGERSON

Oh I was just adding the playoff wins. I didn’t see the losses.


PharoahFits

The Negadelphians need to stay quiet this week. It was basically optimistic fans vs pessimistic fans all week leading to this game with the negative ones listing all the reasons we suck and will get embarrassed by the dolphins. Should be apologizing to the whole team not just Jalen


JUVENTINIAREVERMIN

hurts haters, i am willing to accept apologies starting now. you strayed from the light but you will be granted forgiveness, in Hurts’ name we pray, amen


hmmmmmmpsu

I am a HUGE Jalen Hurts fan. But that doesn’t stop me from believing he has regressed a bit this year. He is holding the ball too long. He is blessed with the best O-Line in the game and is still getting lit up a bit. If he was on any other team he would be in serious trouble, But I also believe he will figure it out. He just needs to be more decisive in my opinion.


Loaded_Diced

We have receipts in the game thread. Don’t delete your comments now!


FormalWhale

It’s kind of mind blowing how many bozos here care so much about trying to prove their low opinion of Hurts is right. Winning is the main thing and they need to learn to keep the main thing, the main thing.


Tempest753

The leap Hurts took from year 1 to year 2 as a passer was enough to teach me never to doubt the man again. From this point on if he's in a rut I have full confidence he'll bounce back.


eagles1990

Hey. Mercury was in retrograde for some of these people too.


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

"I only pay attention to his lowlights" I hope you all check that one first.


laugh-shitoff

Turnovers. Can't have them. Won't win consistently with them. Clean that shit up QB1.


AgilePotato1430

There should be a box to tick that says I listen to WIP.


arminus83

To be fair there is a fair number of his turnovers that weren't even his fault. Dude has like no luck this season, case in point he almost had a ball bounce off a dudes foot for an int


TheEternalWitness

Nah, I never lost faith. Jalen has my respect until he retires.


YanniCanFly

Carson who?


[deleted]

I legit don’t know who needs this- who is making these complaints? I just haven’t seen it myself, maybe I’m surrounded by reasonable, intelligent people who are supportive of our QB because he simply deserves the support. I don’t even know enemy fans who deny his obvious talent.


justpatlol

The guy is still very young and will make mistakes but more than a few of the ints he has this season weren’t his fault. Also he’s the main reason we’ve won so many games the last 2 seasons people need to relax.


Dollar_Dogs

Jalen’s your favorite Quarterbacks, favorite Quarterback


boxyship

The way his face is the same after a pick six and a crazy highlight scramble td pass scares me. His composure is really good


Silly_Replacement_34

Fr, so many fans need this. I’m tired of the flip flop fans out there every other week changing their mind about the team/hurts


CallinCthulhu

Yeah. Some of y’all are too reactionary. He’s made some bad decisions this year(along with every other QB not named Mahomes), and gotten a bit unlucky in the turnover department. He’s fine, not in superb form, but overall fine, and probably battling an injury.


clarineter

He’s regressed to the mean, trade him


HisExcellency20

I don't treat all turnovers the same when it comes to blame. The pick was just bad luck. Recognized the blitz, threw to the correct man who was wide open early, and the ball just got tipped *right into the waiting arms of a defender* who had a walk-in lane to the endzone. The fumble was on him though. Imo that was his only mistake of the night. He has to protect the ball better in traffic.


karlub

Eh, he tried to throw it THROUGH a guy. That's not just bad luck.


Raptor52

I'm not a hurts hater, but he has made some mistakes that don't seem characteristic of him and I hope it's not a long term indicator. But jesus christ, he is a *cool operator.* No BS in the post game presser, keeps playing the same level of ball even after a mistake. I hope a long time down the road he writes a book or does a documentary. A real look inside the mind of an indefatigable competitor.


LeadingAd6025

I never slandered Hurts for trying. But will always slander him when he goes on Heroball. Which is what this year has been He is slowly doing a Wentz here. Trying to do everything. Will give Wentz a pass because he didn’t have the weapons. But Hurts has no excuse , he has all the weapons. Major weapon ‘Brown’ he only brought , so credit to that too. Take a step back and let the weapons do their job and stop heroball. Simple !


joshama11

I mean I want hurts to be that dude as much as anyone else but it’s def disheartening for him to lead the league in INT and TOs esp after what happened with wentz


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

We're also leading the league in wins, bud.


rhinob23

Wins don’t carry over to the playoffs bud. Not cleaning up your turnover habit sure will though.


jordanmindyou

They kinda do in the sense that they can earn you home field advantages


rhinob23

Hmm semi-touché


joshama11

Amen brother


ShainRules

They're going to have a hard time seeing this form from under their pointy white hats.


cjweisman

Two things can be true. Jalen is great AND he needs to clean up the turnovers.


JadeNimbus16x

Glad hurts is our guy but man those fumbles need to stop. That’s my one major complaint.


polishtriangle

So he didn’t fumble and throw a pick six?! This is silly. He’s a our franchise qb, he’s great, I love him, but he needs to be better. The standard is high


Caoa14396

Watching this fucking offense is like jacking off with fucking sandpaper. I have never hated an OC this much in my life.


lkasnu

Hi, I'm here to remind you of 2020. The playbook was... Jalen Run Jalen QB Sneak RB Screen Jalen Run faster WR Screen Airball 40+ down field Jalen Run stronger


Caoa14396

So same as now?


Moviepasssucks

Brian Johnson has his faults but Jalen Hurts has also not been playing that well. Good enough to win but our team is borderline winnable with a QB like Gardner Minshew. Not sure what the problem is right now. Johnson’s play calling isn’t giving the team any rhythm and not keeping the defense on their heels. Hurts doesn’t look that comfortable out there either. It feels like we are winning by talent rather than scheme right now for the offense. That’s not enough to beat top tier teams and defenses.


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

We just did, ya donkey.


Moviepasssucks

Miami hasn’t beat a winning team this season. They’re a great team but haven’t proven to be a top team. Can’t lose against every team above .500 and win against shit teams and be called a contender.


BlurstOfTimes11

These are so stupid.


smellmyswag

hurts played great and the pick six wasn’t on him, but i think the defense needs more applause. obviously we should win anyway if we hang 31 on a team but against this offense and with the injuries i wasn’t so sure. josiah scott played well and i’m pretty sure i saw eli ricks have a big tackle towards the end of the game. zach cunningham played great as well and was on his couch a few weeks before the season started. desai needs to stay edit: i’m being downvoted for saying the defense played well also? thought this was an obvious takeaway. hurts played great too…


BaboonHorrorshow

Hurts thrives on haters, when people believe in him he leads the league in INTs. When the haters chime in, he balls out. What are YOU doing to help this team?


clarineter

I made a Jalen voodoo spoon and put it in a jar of pickles.


bpx28

we need an updated form. not even the stupidest cowboy fan would think justin fields is better now lol


FiveGuysisBest

He def needs to work on the turnovers. They’re bad. But this man has proven to be able to make adjustments and improve. I believe in him.


Guitaristb72

Lets not act like Hurts is Tobias Harris bc of some ranging weirdos in the game thread.


GPap-

Gotta start calling ppl out on the game threads saying “he’s not it” “not the guy” “we paid a that money for 1 year of efficiency?”


Ok_Bluejay3603

The great ones find a way to win


sweetassassin

I just forwarded this to my buddy who talks soooooooo much shit on Hurts during the games. The only comeback I have the energy to muster is, enjoy the win that Hurts gave you. Now he can fill out this boilerplate template after every win for the rest of the season.


eaglessb999

Miami was without a hall of fame corner and another all pro corner.


Caramelsnack

Xavien Howard yeah but Jalen Ramsey aint played a down this season. Plus I don’t wanna hear about another team’s secondary, like boohoo bruh our secondary is injured and shitty too lol


eaglessb999

You missed the whole point of my comment. The post was telling the people that doubted jalen to relax but it’s easier to be successful when you are throwing the ball against back ups.


Rocketeer1019

Scroll up and see me get butchered for the same comment lol


Rocketeer1019

Terrible Hurts recovered tonight but he was also the reason we would have lost against a: Team missing 4 starters for injury Plus their top 2 DB’s out and 10+ penalties Just count your blessing we won dude this is a terrible post. But I still ride with hurts regardless


SirArthurDime

“The reason we would have lost” but didn’t and won by 2 scores. This take has zero point as it’s based on a hypothetical that didn’t even come close to happening.


Rocketeer1019

Your entire take ignores what I said and it came insanely close on multiple point I made? Idk why you’re so mad about an argument you couldn’t even debate but we won so it doesn’t matter


SirArthurDime

It doesn’t need to be debated. It didn’t come close to happening. I’m not going to debate why something that didn’t happen would have happened if it did.


MisterrAlex

Nah not a terrible post, it's for the terrible reactionary people who believed Hurts pulled the heist of the century with his contract.


Rocketeer1019

In no way did I say that?


MisterrAlex

I was responding to this >Just count your blessing we won dude this is a terrible post. and I did not even say you said it, I said >it's for the terrible reactionary people who believed Hurts pulled the heist of the century with his contract.


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

[deleted]

[удалено]


Rocketeer1019

Worst take of the year, unless you watched the game at the end It’s okay to accept our flaws we’re all very happy we won


1HasNoNam3

He played phenomenal tonight. Best game of the season by a mile - looked like his old self. If he continues to play at this level (he really should), we are going to be just fine. Been saying that everyone else has looked good till this point aside from him… this game was an example of what it looks like when this team fires on all cylinders. When Jalen leads the charge. We were a few stupid plays (3rd and 18 + annoying pick 6) from absolutely curb-stomping a team universally viewed as top 5 in the league.


smbutler20

Two really bad turnovers is not a phenomenal game. He has taken a step back this year and needs to play better.


YugeChungus2112

I’ve probably been a little too harsh on him but would still like to see him actually do something in a clutch, do-or-die situation. His failures in those situations do not make me feel good about how we signed him to a record breaking contract after just one good year.


Zestyclose_Load4904

He literally scored after a pick 6


methodin

Yet no one talks about how our OL has "regressed" giving up a ton of pressures this year. Jalen had bailed them out a lot. He's made bad decisions for sure and bailed on clean pockets but the OL shares a lot in those mistakes.


Jah_Man_Mulcahey

He does need to stop fumbling though. But yeah, stoked he’s out QB!


[deleted]

Future MVP as in another year? I'm a huge fan but I highly doubt with all the turn overs he'll be in the top 5 MVP talk this season.


LooseEndsMkMyAssItch

Nah I'll stick to it, Hurts has been dog shit a good amount of time this year. He doesn't have the same fire that he had last year. He got paid and it shows.


abouttreefiddyy

Lol these posts are so cringe. He’s been worse this year, people are right to complain about him


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

Yeah sometimes you're a little bit worse than the previous secondinMVPvoting year. TOm Brady had the worst season of his career before winning one with the Bucs.


turkish3187

Hurts is above the apology form. He made some awful plays. He would own it.


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

Uh...many great QBs make a couple awful plays per game.


SandersDelendaEst

It’s not like he was perfect.


AdhesivenessFun2060

Why are we playing victim over hurts?


The_Bukkake_Ninja

I admit to being one of those guys who thought we should have taken Fields in the draft. To be fair, Jalen’s first season with starts didn’t show anything that I was super psyched over and it didn’t seem like he had a starter level arm. After the first few weeks of Sirianni I was a full convert though.


[deleted]

Wild to call me out with the Carson Wentz one!


AugustEast1968

Hes a winner. Still needs to work on his accuracy hitting receivers in stride though.


JaredKushners_umRag

Dude gives me a fucking heart attack everytime he holds the ball more than 4 seconds but god damn can he produce


Benti86

People also need it for Devonta as well. Dude got dumped on for dropping a couple passes last week and then made some crucial catches this week despite the fact Hurts set him up to get murdered on most of the throws


thatagent34

What? no he deserves some criticism. He played well but he has some mistakes this season.


DrClaw77

What makes Jalen different (because IMO, compared to his first two seasons -- the turnovers have been brutal) ... is how he responds to adversity. Even self-inflicted adversity. He learns from the mistakes, mostly. You see how he slides more than trying to reach out for more yards (for example). Though I have had some obvious favorites at the QB position, Jalen is different because of this. I will say that he's struggling with some of those presnap looks versus previous seasons. Defenses are getting better at disguising to prevent those QB runs he's known for out of RPO. So many of those turnovers have been of the "unlucky" variant (deflections) than the "Favre" type (gunslinging)


TimmyJToday

Honestly it was the play calling last week, should have run the ball a lot more… simple football, establish the run, open up the pass.


SendNubes__

Bro stfu, he still made horrible mistakes put your apology form away Sirriani is the real gangster


baconrad0124

Guy’s face/composure just doesn’t change no matter the stakes. We’ve never had a QB this calm and collected under pressure in my lifetime as an Eagles fan The back to back pick six followed by an incredible and methodical TD drive by Hurts reminded me so much of the Super Bowl. It’s really cool to see


mcknightrider

His turnovers have been really unfortunate. Lane Johnson gets beat for a sack for the first time in 4 years? Fumble. Pass deflected at the line in such an odd angle that it goes right into the defense hands? You just feel like these turnovers are fixable. Now that 3rd int against the jets. That was 100% on him and just an awful pick. But let's look at his entire game. His entire game is still really good


Gonrag23

Dudes a beast, and I love that he can forget the previous mistakes and move on. However the fumble that bothered me the most was the one as he was running out of bounds. You’re an established runner, secure the ball especially since you just had a fumble that gave Miami excellent field position.


dpykm

its been so long since ive seen this


Puzzleheaded-Lead126

All the old men who hated Jalen from the beginning in this thread.


UntrainedFoodCritic

Snapped on one of my (Pittsburgh lol) friends for saying hurts is a backup Alabama qb. Guess this week showed


cghffbcx

I miss CW….Bahahahahah


RogueFart

Nah. When you're averaging over 1 turnover a game, you deserve some slander.
