Jalen hurts 99

I wanna buy him for my eagles theme team. Which one is better to buy and is it worth it?

It depends on how many coins you have. The 99 is VERY good, especially with the +1 speed boost to all eagles. HOWEVEVER, if you dont have the coins or have gaps in other places I would recommend filling any major gaps first.

I have the money for jalen and would still have 1 million left over. My team is playing good for me right now so I’ll go ahead and buy him.

I am using him for Eagles TT but his audibles are painful. If you make multiple hot routes per play he is borderline unusable.

What abilities do you run on him?

Gunslinger, backyard QB, gift wrapped. 

I tried master tac but the conductor didn’t really help with his animation pauses.  I just limit myself to one hot route per play. 

I tried out set feet lead but found myself throwing too many interceptions to underneath defenders.

This is the correct response.  Before you invest 2.5-3M coins or whatever he costs these days, you should probably test out his 95 OVR Superbowl card, to make sure you can actually use him on your squad.  He's not an elite passing QB.  Probably a very fun card, from the perspective that he significantly boosts your fEagles theme team, but if you intend to have any sort of passing attack, you will be severely limited from making any significant pre-snap adjustments.

I tend to agree with Kyle's statement above, so many of these modern QBs have the touch of "realism" added and it makes them all unusable, IMO.  I would typically try to qualify these statements with "YMMV" but it won't.  Unless you're fine playing with just a single pre-snap adjustment, in which case your mileage may actually vary.  Highly doubtful.

And the QB stack for ALL players will typically follow the same/similar format, in order of importance, from greatest to least:

• Gunslinger
• Gift-Wrapped
• Master Tactician (which is the combo of Conductor, Hot Route Master + QB Playmaker -- great value)
• perhaps a velocity ability (SFL/PLE), although these are less impactful/important than in prior years

I will have to agree to disagree. I love the 99 Hurts card (as well as his SB card). I used Conductor on his SB card and MT on his 99 card and felt audibles are as good as any other player. With only HRM, it is as bad as every other QB this year. If I did not have an Eagles TT I might say to lean towards Josh Allen, but with an Eagles TT, Hurts is really an excellent card both for running and passing. After playing around with different combinations with his abilities, the latest combo that I use (and really like) are GS, SFL, Tank, MT and then I use Run&Gun unstoppable X-Factor (game becomes really great once that X-Factor turns on). I typically will do 2-4 presnap adjustments with most of my pass plays and have no problems getting them done. All of his chemistry boosts to other players is really great as well, esp the 1+ speed to my Eagles players.

I am using him and I absolutely love him. The Truzz actually seems to work and you can get some insane ability stacks on him. I literally run into a group of defenders near the sticks and juke but he still never fumbles. I don’t use tank either.  

The audibles are a problem, but it is manageable in my opinion. One benefit is that you can get away with two AP backyard QB over Master Tac since conductor doesn’t seem to matter much on Hurts.

I don’t no huddle quick snap or flip play audible quick snap because I think it is cheap, so if you rely on that probably don’t use Hurts.
