Anybody who thinks Hurts is a better QB than Maye needs to reevaluate how they look at QB's. Maye is unquestionably better than Hurts today and the margin will only grow going forward. Hurts is the definition of a game manager who has benefited from playing on a great team with both a great defense and elite RB, OL and WR's. Brown has been an elite WR there is no question about that. He has been one of the major reasons why the Eagles have been as good as they have been since he has been there. Now the question for the Pats is how long will he remain an elite receiver. Brown was not nearly as bad last year as many think he was. Go look at the last eight games last year. He struggled early like the entire offense did but he was very good in the last eight games of last year. If the Pats get that guy for the next two to three years we will be very happy. Now the cost you can argue, I have already said I do not like giving up an unprotected first round pick. Pushing it out to 2028 helps but stuff happens and if the season goes sideways that can be a high pick. I would like it better if it was protected 1-15 or so.

I disagree that Hurts was a game manager. He was a big factor in that SB win, and probably wins SB MVP if they had beaten KC the first time.

As I always said when people used to diss Brady by calling him a game manager or system’s QB, you still have to make those throws. It’s the QB throwing those passes. Hurts was excellent in both of his SB games, despite losing one.

Never seen a protected pick deal in the NFL. That's an NBA and NHL thing.

Hell no; he isn’t. Maye is individually already a better overall QB than Hurts will ever be. I like Hurts, but he is severely limited in multiple areas of his game. He also benefited from the most stacked roster in the league since he’s been there. Has Hurts ever been an MVP or even a runner up???? Negative. Besides the OC/scheme in PHI, why the hell do you think the players (AJ Brown, D. Smith & multiple OL) have been hyper critical of the offensive production (or lack thereof) in Philadelphia?? I’ll give you a hint……if something is “aching” on your body, that means it………

You put Maye, Stafford, or any other truly good QB in that stacked '25 Eagles offense and you get a legendary season. Instead it was Hurts and they got a dysfunctional season, disappointment, and finger pointing.

3 more weeks give or take. Well, 2 weeks and change. They'll do it after the June 1 deadline if they move him at all. Until then... nobody knows nothin.

I disagree. Playing well in a super bowl is great Winning MVP is great. Game manager is not a bad term and it never should have been applied to Brady after his third year. Hurts is a good athlete that runs well that has a lot of great players on that offense. There are 10 other QB's that could have done the same with that Eagles team. I was really responding to the idea that Hurts is a better QB than Maye. No chance that is true and especially in the context of who is the better QB for AJ Brown. Maybe game manager was a little harsh but he is not better than Maye.
 
I haven't changed my mind about AJ Brown since March: I'd love to see him in the Pats' starting lineup in Seattle in September, but not if they have to give up a 1 or a 2 to get him, this season, next season or any season.
This is a "Jetes-like" frenzy to sign him at any cost. Use the top picks to build from the inside out, not for a (very good) RB with maybe a couple of top seasons left.
Bookmark this and call me out if I'm proven wrong next February when he's hoisting a Lombardi next to Drake.

What started out as a knock ended up being Brady's greatest strength, and a huge positive. Brady learned how to marry his offensive game plan with both the game situation and the defensive game plan. If Belichick wanted to keep the best quarterbacks they were facing on the sideline and limit their drive opportunities Brady could slow it down, matriculate the ball down the field all day, and help keep the defense off the field. However if the game situation called for him to step it up and put as many points in the board as fast as he could he could turn up the offense and hang 35+ on the opponent. And if they were leading at the half Brady would just put them away. Being a great game manager ended up being a big reason he became the GOAT, as he could always do whatever the situation called for.
