Elite?? In the 1.5 games I have watched, he looked to be barely a serviceable QB. He just seems to throw the ball in the general direction of his receivers, rarely goes through his progressions, looks skittish and not poised. Yesterday's terrible performance was against the bottom ranked defensive backfield. Plus he had plenty of time to throw.
I know Flacco is over the hill, but maybe he can at least manage the game.
Imo, TT was tentative but at least protected the football and scrambled a lot better than Hurts. So, I think Hurts is not a better version of TT
