Jalen Hurts Future with Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has just made a statement that the Eagles will do everything they can to make Jalen Hurts successful this upcoming season, rather than drafting a quarterback early or bringing in competition. I think this is a good decision for three reasons.
First, Jalen Hurts is cheap, and the Eagles are not contending for a super bowl anytime soon. Hurts has three more years on his rookie deal, and while that unravels, the Eagles would be rebuilding in those three years.
The wide receiving core should be upgraded, the offensive line needs youth, the defensive line is too expensive, and the cornerbacks and linebacking core are below average to mediocre.
Not to mention the Eagles are in cap hell right now as well. All of these problems can be fixed while Hurts is on his rookie contract, and hey, if he has a terrible 2021 campaign, The Eagles will have another top draft pick to select a quarterback next year.
Second, Hurts’s potential in my opinion could be a Russel Wilson or Deshaun Watson, and that’s only if the Eagles surround him with talent and great coaches to help develop him. In his four starts, he did have a 1-3 record, but as we already know the losses were mostly because of the team not on just him. In those games, he showed flashes of promise, with his best game being against the Arizona Cardinals, where Jalen looked like a stud throughout.
The only things that were seen needing work was Hurts’s reading of a defense, throwing mechanics, and accuracy. All the other intangibles he has.
Third, The eagles should aim for stability. The coaching staff has changed entirely, and players are being cut, released, and traded.
The right thing to do would be to keep players who have talent, and leadership intangibles to create a new culture in Philly. Jeffrey Lurie is an aggressive owner, and wants to aim for consistent success in the NFC.
