Anyone see Fields well over 1k season?
disclaimer for the inevitable responses.. this is in no way saying TL is a bust, nor is it rooting against TL.. just looking at the film currently on tape for all players mentioned. TL may not have much film but his run speed / quickness I haven't seen many ppl acquire that you kinda have it or don't.
Hurts is not some electric runner lol. He's running the read options better, which is something that takes time to master. He did it at Bama, did it all the damn time at Oklahoma and has been doing it for over two years when Philly literally changed their whole scheme to fit their QB. Everything the do is based off those read options and RPOs.
Lance has one yr of legit starting football and it wasn't straight up a bunch of RPOs and read options.
go watch Hurts day 1 in Philly vs now. Shocking he improved at everything including running those read options
