I'm a Hurts fan, so I'm not overly worried about that. I get the concern (I know you're not a Hurts fan), but when it seems like no player on either side of the ball is happy., then I'm much more worried about the coaching and play calling. I guess Hurts should just say screw it and call his own plays.
There is an odd dynamic between AJB and Hurts. AJB has made some stupid decisions late in games that almost cost the win a couple of times. He's also broken off routes, run the wrong route, and just given up on plays when he shouldn't have. This kind of came to a head in an argument with Hurts on the sideline a month or so ago where it seemed like DeVonta was siding with Hurts (or at least trying to explain the situation). To be clear, AJB is not the problem and WR divas are going to diva, but it seemed like that was the start of things.
Hurts was also playing injured for about a month and he actually played fine even while running.
Cox, Kelce, and Graham are maybe losing a step, but the team was prepared for this and already drafted their replacements.
There is just too much talent on the team for them to be playing like this.
