I either wasn't paying attention last year or just missed it....so they aren't getting along? JMO, but I think Sirianni is kind of a dipshit, but its an interesting story line. It did seem like teams found the cheat code on Hurts the last half of the season.

Also this story about how the Falcons planned their QB surprise:

The longer a running qb plays in the NFL the less effective he tends to be. Injuries add up, defenses have all his tendencies and weaknesses catalogued, etc. The only guy who seems to have overcome that is Lamar Jackson, but he's got elite escapability and his pass game has improved over time.

Hurts is a very gritty, dedicated guy imo but his passing talent isn't really elite while he's now collecting elite money. It will be interesting to see what Philly's offense looks like this year.

I should add that Nick Sirianni quickly established himself as a top 5 NFL sideline jackass, second only to Sean Payton imho.
