3) Ridley and the other WRs often displayed frustration at Hurts inability to hit open WRs past 10 yards... There are multiple YT videos that show how inept Hurts was at vertical passing... Other teams loaded the box and dared Bammer to try to pass...
4) Every player has to compete for a starting spot, every year...
5) I believe Tua will end up being "the guy", and Hurts will likely transfer after he graduates...Hopefully we won't need him for more than four games so he can have 2 years to play... (word is that the "competition" is between Mac Jones and Hurts for #2 QB)...
6) there will be no "splitting of the team"....
How do you know for sure about item #2? I mean it's hard to complete 54 of 58 against no opposition.
