I voted for the hold off and wait approach. I see no reason to rush with an extension only a couple weeks into the season. Let him play and continue to grow with the offense. Howie can get a deal done after the season.
I'm assuming you mean CJ Stroud? Never heard of Marcus Stroud. Being a Buckeye fan I think you are referring to my guy CJ?
I want CJ or Bryce Young in a Hawks uni next year.
CJ is the better pocket passer with accuracy. Young is a more of a dual threat QB. So if you want a QB who will run, then Young is probably a better fit. CJ can run, but really doesn't need to with the Arsenal of weapons he has in his rec e iver room. He did run a couple of times last weekend vs Wisconsin. Not a pretty runner, but can I guess.
I'm good either way as I believe both will be good NFL QBs
I'm OK with the Commanders finding a Josh Allen, as long as they don’t find an OLine
@Rowdy , damn man, it appears you are Nostradamus here with this one. Good call, brother.
I went looking for this and was kind of surprised. I had remembered more posters being onboard with this extension. I was always of the opinion that he was less accomplished than Wentz when they gave him his extension.
This was before he went to the SB though, wasn't it? I think there is another thread after the SB where he got his big payday. That was the one where there was a bigger discussion. Most people on here were giving Hurts props for having a great year and a great SB and no shame in losing to Mahomes and were kinda in agreement that the Eagles had to pay him just because of the economics of the current NFL. As for Wentz, I think he was fools gold from the jump and we all saw that play out. His almost MVP was kinda exposed as a bit fraudulent. Dude had talent and played well before his injury but he was definitely a product of everything around him. Hurts showed in that SB that he actually has the intangibles to be great. His biggest issue is turnovers right now. When he isn't giving the ball to the other team, he actually plays pretty well, all things considered, imo. The loss of Kelce will take some adjustment obviously. The new center hasn't been bad either, just hard to replace a first ballot HOFer and a guy that really helped in identifying everything at the line.
Ah thanks for the clarification. I swear I remember most everyone being behind the extension, I was simply expressed concern that it was premature and that turned out to be right at this point in time.
Tried to tell Philly fans. This has been hurts his whole career. He’s not that great, and even tries to tell the media how to write the headlines about him
