Colin Cowherd recently compared the situation with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia to the eventual decline and departure of Russell Wilson from the Seattle Seahawks
The analyst believes that Jalen Hurts is a product of the system who is being paid and treated like a system lifter. Colin Cowherd noted that this fundamental imbalance is starting to cause resentment and performance issues that could ultimately fracture the entire Eagles organization
My thoughts -
Hurts and RW are very similar in that their mobility is a large part of their game, and, mobility goes down hill faster than just pure passing ability. But Hurts is currently only 27. Philly is going down the road to FAFO by running off Hurts. Hurts has been shit on since college when his coach benched him in the fourth quarter of the Nat Championship game for Tua. Tua is now washed and Hurts has a ring. I think Hurts is a gamer. A calculated cool cucumber competitor. I realize he's not a great passer. Unlike Seattle with RW, I think Philly will regret running off Hurts when that inevitably happens and Hurts will have some success for a new team, at least for a few years.
