I misread the argument a little bit. Dak has had the weaker teams yet has played better with less.

Hurts was mediocre in 2021 and didn’t start playing decently until Steichen took over play calling from Siri. Hurts needs the perfect situation to play near a high level.

16 TD-9 INT. He was Bryce Young with stronger legs lol. What happened in the Bucs playoff game in 2023?

When he had the Avengers around him lmao. Take away AJ Brown and Saquon and he gets blown out by a 9-8 NFC South team in the wildcard. Hurts isn’t even a top 5 player on his own offense.

I also don’t recall Hurts winning anything in 22 or 23, hmm. Allen also literally just won the MVP without Diggs, and Burrow is throwing for 40+ TDs with his weapons, while Hurts is barely an above average starter with a comparable WR duo, far better RB, and a FAAARR better O-Line.

How are you gonna call a guy great when he’s in offensive paradise and still doesn’t produce like any of the other top guys?

2

Nah, he’s right around above average. Somewhere in the top 9-12 range. And 1 great (not elite) season surrounded by good at best seasons isn’t all that.

2

Then why is it that Hurts has only regressed since his 2022 season?

5-8 is ridiculous lmao. The big 4 are a given, then I’d easily take Herbert, Stafford, Daniels, and Stroud over him. I’d also consider putting Dak, Love, and Goff above him.

Hurts is too reliant on play calling and a stacked team to hide his flaws which are pretty big issues and have been exposed when the play calling wasn’t at least good. To be in that stacked of an offense yet never having the playbook fully opened to allow him to air it out consistently like a true elite QB is very telling of him limiting the offense. Hurts is barely a top 15 QB and likely won’t be in the top 15 after this season.

Can you tell me a time when Hurts has truly elevated his team though? Put the team on his back when things weren’t ideal? He seems to crumble whenever things aren’t perfect (Bucs game)

Mahomes does have to air it out bc the Chiefs run game is mediocre at best. Also hitting normal player accolades like 4k+ passing yards and or 25+ passing TDs doesn’t require a QB airing it out every single game. The Eagles use Hurts like a game manager bc that’s what he is, he’s not a game changer and it’s why he struggles when the situation isn’t perfect. Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Lamar, Herbert etc. have all played above their situations even when things weren’t desirable…can’t say the same for

Hurts especially with seasons like 2021 and 2023 on his resume showing that he’s very clearly benefiting from play calling and the loaded roster when he plays well bc he doesn’t play well when the play calling isn’t good/great. Someone that inconsistent in play isn’t a top 10 QB.
