Negative signalProjection

Hurts' negative EPA on short/intermediate throws raises efficiency concerns.

Hurts averaged over three seconds to throw and faced pressure on 39.4% of dropbacks against Washington. His passing efficiency was concerning: -1.29 EPA per dropback on throws behind the line of scrimmage, -0.53 EPA on 0-10 air yard throws, 0.03 EPA on 11-20 air yards, and 2.45 EPA on 20+ air yards. Over half his yardage (112 of 203) came from explosive plays, indicating a lack of consistent intermediate passing. The source questions his chemistry with receivers and suggests caution on his ascension.
