What's your outcome if Geno replaced Hurts in Philly?

[olyfan63]

Hurts would teach our guys the toosh push and as a result we would have more rushing TDs, AND at least one more 4th down conversion.
Philly might have a few more deep shot completions than they do but would be giving up a much more productive ground game from the QB position.
The thing about Geno running for us is I worry about him surviving the punishment.

Totally THIS. Geno may be a slightly better passer, but the Tush Push and Hurts as a running threat lead to a few key plays a game that Geno couldn't make, maybe a net of 2 key plays a game for Hurts. Some games those two plays would be the difference between a W and an L.

There's alot of stuff like, put Geno on a team with a good Oline and a good Defense and watch him win. This can be said about arguably 90 percent of NFL QB's. If a team has a good team on both sides of the ball you won't need a great QB to win. I voted the same. To me they are about the same Geno is a better passer and Hurts is better at running. They play different styles.

And the eagles would struggle with the tush push then cause geno would slip or miss the snap

If 90% or even 50% were a true number, no FA QB would ever get signed. Everyone team would just draft a new rookie every time their current rookie QB deal ended and always use maximum resources on creating that good team around any ole' QB

That's just the point. There is no team that is elite on both sides of the ball. So how can one say that if Geno was on a team that has everything on both sides of the ball he would be great. There is no team like that right now.

Nobody is asking for him to have elite help on both sides of the ball. He's spent his entire time with well below league average D and o-line. People are just projecting what he'd do if he average help or what he'd do with the o-line of QBs. We know what his production looks like with the bottom of the barrel.

Well really it would depend on the system he would be in. Really Geno is not Jalen but he is his own man. He just needs in having an OL stepping up and a better defense. Geno learned from the Hawks while Russell ran the team.

We also know what his play is with average talent on the oline. This year is the only year the oline has truly played below average. Last year they were average and the year before they were better than last year.
