Keep everything the same but replace Hurts with Jackson during this Eagles run and I have no doubt that they still make it to the Super Bowl.
Jackson's got his obvious limitations and lately the injuries have been piling up, but when he is healthy, he is still one of the best football players in the league.
I’ll take the better passer vs the better runner all day as a QB. [Reply]

That made Hurts' passing a little easier, but he still played a great game.
Best I can remember this defense against the run. What we all thought Spags should do, force them to throw. And Hurts nearly pulled it off. [Reply]
Hurts is amazing. As it stands right now he's basically the only truly great quarterback in the NFC; hell, nobody else even comes close. As long as Philly continues to surround him with talent and he stays healthy, they should own that conference for the foreseeable future. [Reply]
Haven't seen it discussed much how Mahomes mostly threw from the pocket, and getting it out fast. Very little of the scramble drill because the Oline kept a clean pocket and Pat was stepping up to it rather than dropping deep. [Reply]
I just started a new Madden franchise. Started with playing the SB against Eagles in which I won by 1 point. The 2023 schedule starts with the Bengals on Thursday night and then the Eagles in week 2. Both games went to OT with the good team coming out on top in both. :-) [Reply]
