I dont think past accomplishments are going to move the needle. I think how good you are as a player (your level of play right now) and future projections of how good you're likely to be in the immediate future is what's going to get you alot of this GTD money.
How do you get a future projection without using past accomplishments as your base?
So your projection for how Jalen Hurts will play in the future is mainly based on him winning the SB MVP? What about other QBs that have won it or got there in recent memory.... Nick Foles (MVP), Flacco (MVP), Trent Dilfer, Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, the list goes on. You really doing this?
You go with past "team accomplishments",....I'll go along with the NFL brass,...which is what I actually see regarding how they're playing on the field, the talent I can see or gauge, et. al.
Jalen Hurts latest isn't all about winning the SB. How he played last year overall and how he plays in general when certain situations arise are all part of those evaluations.
Teams don't just pay for SB wins. They're big parts of negotiations of course but teams watch tape, they understand how their own guy is used, how they can hide his deficiencies and how he may look if things aren't perfect around him.
But past accomplishments are certainly a part of the evaluation. If you show you're able to play at a high level and don't completely fall apart when few things are going right that's a good indicator of future success.
Getting to a SB doesn't show you're capable of playing at a high level. Playing at a high level shows you're capable of playing at a high level.
Yep, and we have seen it from Hurts and Purdy.
And plenty of others before them. (Getting to a SB that is)
Sure.
I was agreeing with you about those two proving themselves not by getting to a Superbowl but by playing at a high level.
The playing at a high level thing was a general statement.
Hurts and Purdy both got to Super Bowls. If you think both play at a high level, that is your own individual opinion.
Hurts is a top 20 QB who was playing with an elite defense. I'd compare his play to a Trent dilfer. Purdy actually had to drag that corpse of a team to the Super Bowl, especially in the NFCC. Shanahan f**ked around with the packers and lions and purd pulled them through.
Corps of a team?
He had all pro kittle, cmc, juice, a healthy trent and deebo, jennings vs GB and a fairly healthy and loaded D. He had all pro kittle, cmc, juic3 and aiyuk with a healthy trent and deebo, jennings as well as a loaded D against the lions. Not sure we saw the same games
There is a middle ground between both of you guys.
The team was FAR from a corpse however the defense was not playing well at all in the playoffs. They did get on track but there was a reason coaches had to have the "effort" talk heading into the SB. I'd also saying not having Clelein Ferrell and Hufanga definitely hurt our ability to stop the run. Once Greenlaw got hurt in the SB that was the killer of course.
The OL also was far from anything to write home about. Deebo was also playing hurt from the GB injury.
So like I said...somewhere in the middle is the correct analysis. Certainly when compared to the team Hurts had around him it's not a contest. Eagles were incredibly healthy going into the SB and had studs across the board. Virtually no weaknesses. Hell they even got solid play from Oren Burks because their DL and secondary was so good...also didn't hurt that KC was dealing with major pass pro issues.
That defense in 2023 in the post season was awful. Purdy using his legs and his brain won them two playoff games. If it wasn't for him making clutch plays, they would have never made it to the SB.
That's true but saying the team in 2023 was a corpse was way over the top. The defense was sloppy as hell in that Lions game but came up in big moments and having the skill players we had definitely helped as well.
I think we can easily say Brock didn't have as dominant of a roster around him and had to do a lot more than Hurts did to get to the SB.
I was referring to the playoffs... the regular season doesn't matter once you get to the playoffs... also the defense started to look slow in the last weeks of the regular season
