So it makes it seem as though they are discussing his entire season, which I think is exactly what they were doing. As if he wasn't the MVP favorite or runner up prior to the injury.
But no doubt, the arm injury is a large concern now, and he simply hasn't looked as good since trying to come back from it. Mahomes may have an ankle injury but I'd take that all day over a QB with a shoulder injury on his throwing arm.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, Hurts has really developed a ton since he was a rush first QB as a freshman at Alabama. How well he played this year is impressive. I also believe that if his injury is better by the SB, the Eagles will be tough. If not I like our chances on defense. I do not doubt our secondary’s ability to hang with the Eagles receivers after what they did last week. Hurts not being as effective of a thrower due to injury makes their job easier. Plus I would wonder how many times they would design run him knowing he is injured.
