He'll probably age about like Alex Smith did. And we saw how damn difficult it is to win post-season games with Smith as your starting QB. Worse still, Smith's deal was typically a middle class QB's deal -- Hurts isn't. He's going to be getting paid like a top quarterback fairly quickly.

If the Eagles are lucky some team like Minnesota will give up too much to trade for and extend him in the last year of that deal.
