So, do we give Hurts a break or not?



Let me preface this by saying that I am on the fence about Hurts. He's obviously a good player, but is he elite? Or, should I say- is he elite enough for us to win the SB? or even make the playoffs? Sure, he has accuracy issues; but the flip side is only Smith appears to be consistently getting open and he isn't confident enough in Watkins or Raegor to get them the ball unless they are wide open.

He has left a lot of meat on the bone as they say, but he is still doing very well

As per NFL.com

PASSING YARDS - ahead of Rodgers, Mayfield, Lawrence

AVG - ahead of Rodgers, Lawrence, Mahomes, tied with Wentz

TD - ahead of Mayfield, Lawrence, Rothlesberger tied with Tannehill

QB Rating - ahead of Rothlesberger , Tannehill

This does not include what he contributes with his running abilities.

So, after only 9 games as the starter under a new head coach Hurts is sitting as a middle of the pack QB.

So, the question is . . . is his ceiling Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow or Ryan Tannehill or Taylor Heincke?

So, do we give him a break or not?
