Hurts is on the cusp of bing a top 5 QB in the league. Dude was the best player on the field in the Super Bowl.
now that he's signed to a mega deal, he's gonna have to be that type of QB long-term. No more loaded roster. Same s**t will happen here at some point.
we want a QB that has the capability of being a top 5 QB season in and season out. A dude that can put a team on his back & mask the deficiencies of a roster we can't afford anymore. Is that Brock? I have my doubts. I'm also good at eating crow lol
You're right, i know hurts can play well and all that, I just have my doubts he can carry a team/mask their deficiencies. we will see though, he did have a bum shoulder down the stretch. I just don't think his running ability will last much longer than a few more years, then it'll be less and less of a factor.
The good news about Brock is that his contract is super cheap for three more years, he currently isn't even counted against the salary cap. That can enable us to really build around him. I think Brock can mask certain aspects of a mediocre roster around him, he will just have to do it different than a guy like hurts, he won't be running a ton. I do like the way he is in the pass game though.
these massive contracts for QBs need to relax. The salary cap isn't going up nearly enough to justify it, even if the cap jumps $60M by 2026. That's only a 22-25% jump in 3 years. From 2018 to present - jimmy had the largest contract at 27.5M a year and now QBs are getting $50M+. Outta control
