Its funny and ironic.
You have people complaining Hurts wasn't going through his reads and was impatient....
....selectively ignoring the fact damn near every time he got the snap he had at least one person running free right at him.
Let's use our brains and think logically.
How in the world is he suppose to be patient with his reads and not run out of the pocket under that much duress and when he never really had a pocket?
If he took 10 sacks yesterday the same people woukd be complaining about Hurts having no pocket awareness. Lol, this is crazy

quote:Yes. But many times it was one person, and there are other skills QBs can use to escape one defender without tucking the ball any running. The concern is there because we've seen this movie before and it has cost us. We're all supportive of 2, but it's not crazy to point this out.

I'll give you an example of him not making progress - on a pre-snap read that would have saved him from being pressured:
On a 3rd and long, FSU overloaded our right with Derwin James and another blitzer. We had Ridley to that side on a slant route. At the snap, if both are coming that is an automatic go-to. QB 101. If one bails into coverage you either go to Ridley if he beats his man off the line or go to another read. Not only did Hurts not pick it up, it doesn't even appear as if he looked that way before the ball was snapped. Instead, he locks in on one receiver to his left, tries to force it in and we get an INC.
I'm guardedly hopeful that the kid has made progress, but I have my doubts.
However, I will say in the actual physical throwing of the ball he looked better. He got robbed of a TD in the end zone where he absolutely dropped it in the bucket and our TF wide receiver bricked it.
I'm more concerned with him from the neck up than the shoulder down.
