He’s a really good QB. Great leader. A guy that players want to play with. That being said, I just don’t think he’s the kind of guy that will go out and make plays when you need them. Down 5 with 1:00 left and 1 timeout on your own 20, I don’t feel confident in dak in that situation. Now ARod or Tom Brady or mahomes etc, yeah I almost always say “they left too much time on the clock..” and yes, I realize these type of players are extremely hard to find, but my point is why pay a guy like he can do it, if he can’t? The daks and kyler Murrays and Lamar jacksons and Kirk cousins etc, they are a tier below and shouldn’t be paid like they are in that top tier.
And that’s my issue with Jalen hurts. I don’t think he will ever be in that top tier as much as I would love it, so I’d rather not see the eagles pay him like he is. I think his ceiling might be in that next tier, alongside the daks and Lamar Jackson’s, deshaun watsons and Murray’s etc. this is also partially why I’d prefer a franchise tag, to see him get better in 2023 before giving him $200mill+ in guarantees over 4-5 seasons.
