Hurts hasn't shown as much improvement as you'd like to see when it comes to going through progressions in a timely manner.

That's probably the biggest thing I knocked him on when he was at Oklahoma. The guy was in his senior year with close to 50 starts under his belt and he still struggled to get the ball out of his hands on time on passing downs. That led to a lot of missed opportunities and him having to improvise on the fly. I've seen where quite a few Eagles fans have pointed out the same issue.

The Dallas Cowboys Quarterback seemed to have the same problem. Do you think he has worked through it by now after about 6 years and a huge contract?

Manziel had a higher 58.6 QBR than Hurts in only six starts 2015 before he got yanked.

Wait and see?

I am sure Troy Aikman went through the same thing.

Jason Garrett stated on his position with ESPN that in fact Aikman did struggle in his first three years. For what it’s worth.

How many games did you see Aikman play his first 3 years with the Cowboys?

Aikman was selected as the first overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.[7] On February 25, 1989, new owner Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry and replaced him with Jimmy Johnson. A few months later, in the NFL's supplemental draft, Johnson drafted Steve Walsh, who played for Johnson at the University of Miami. Aikman won the starting quarterback job, and Walsh was traded early in the 1990 season.
Aikman played his first NFL preseason game on August 26, 1989 against the Denver Broncos.[13] His NFL debut started with a 28–0 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The following week, Aikman threw his first touchdown pass, a 65-yard completion to Michael Irvin, but the Atlanta Falcons intercepted two passes and won. In a game against the Arizona Cardinals, he threw for 379 yards to set an NFL rookie record.[7] Aikman finished 1989 with a 0–11 record as a starter, completing 155 of 293 passes for 1,749 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions.
Following Aikman's rookie season, Dallas selected Florida Gators running back Emmitt Smith in the first round of the 1990 NFL Draft. With Smith and Irvin, Aikman led the Cowboys to a 7–7 record in the 1990 season, but was injured in the 15th game, against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Cowboys would go on to lose that game and the following week against the Atlanta Falcons with backup quarterback Babe Laufenberg, missing the final playoff wild card spot by one game.
In 1991, Aikman led the Cowboys to a 6–4 record in the first 10 games and had the Cowboys ahead in week 12 against an undefeated Washington Redskins when he was injured. Steve Beuerlein replaced Aikman, and Dallas finished the season 5–0 and earned the #5 playoff seed. Beuerlein went on to lead the Cowboys to a road upset over the #4 seed Chicago Bears in the Wild Card round. With the Cowboys trailing 17–6 at halftime the following week against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Divisional Playoff game, Aikman was inserted to start the third quarter, but was unable to provide a spark as the Cowboys lost, 38–6.
