Once again, everyone is creating these insane false narratives about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts that aren't even there.
The heavy criticism that Hurts has taken this offseason has been overboard, all starting from the ESPN report with sources slamming him for changing plays and not being coachable. NFL Spin Zone's Lou Scataglia added Hurts to his rankings of the quarterbacks with the most pressure heading into 2026, placing him fourth.
"Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles just cannot seem to find long-term stability on the offensive side of the ball, and much of that is due to Hurts' limitations as a passer. With AJ Brown likely getting traded this offseason, all eyes are going to be on Hurts and if he can finally show that he's got another gear in his game. If not, and if the Eagles are again one-and-done in the playoffs or miss the postseason entirely, it really wouldn't be a shock if the front office tried to move on from their veteran."
Spoiler alert: there is no pressure on Jalen Hurts
How many times does this need to be said about Hurts? He's been to three Pro Bowls, two Super Bowls, won a Super Bowl, and was Super Bowl MVP. He's also never had a losing season as the full-time starting quarterback in his career.
Yes, there were moments last year that were less than desirable performances, but why is it all falling on him now? Former Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, and the offensive line deserve their fair share of the blame for the offensive struggles, but of course, it has to be all on Hurts for some odd reason.
The reality is that there is less pressure on Hurts than many want to believe. That's because the kind of pressure people think he's under doesn't exist. He's too good a player and too much of a winner to be under any kind of pressure.

Media members have to lay off Hurts because it is unwarranted. He is just fine, and he will play well in 2026 because he's the real deal.
