How frustrated are Philadelphia Eagles with Jalen Hurts? | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
POKEMON AND YOU’LL BE FINE. GOOD LUCK. FIGURING THAT OUT. ANYTHING UH, IN PHILADELPHIA IS FAR FROM FINE. THE POSITIVITY RABBIT IS DEAD. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU SAW THAT THEY BROUGHT IN THIS GIANT INFLATABLE RABBIT LAST WEEK, THEY KILLED THE POSITIVITY RABBIT AFTER 1 WEEK. I MEAN, LOOK IT DIDN’T WORK IF THEY HAD BEATEN THE CHARGERS POSITIVITY RABBIT PROBABLY STARTS HAVING LITTLE POSITIVITY BUNNIES AND THE INFLATABLE RABBITS ARE EVERYWHERE IN THE LOCKER ROOM BUT IT DIDN’T WORK. THE POSITIVITY RABBIT IS GONE AND THE THE STORM CLOUDS ARE GATHERING. THEY’VE ALREADY GATHERED, THEY’RE THEY’RE THREATENING THE EAGLES ON SUNDAY WHEN THEY TAKE ON THE RAIDERS I SAID RECENTLY IT’S A NO WIN SITUATION BECAUSE ANYTHING OTHER THAN COMPLETELY DISMANTLE THE RAIDERS, LIKE THE CHIEFS DID BACK IN WEEK 7, THE FANS AREN’T GOING TO BE HAPPY. WE WE GOT OUT THE DOOR YESTERDAY WITH THE NEWS THAT NICK SERRANI THE COACH OF THE EAGLES WAS ON, WIP SPORTS RADIO 94 IN PHILLY, AND HE WAS ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT BENCHING. JAYLEN HERTZ. THE STARTING QUARTERBACK AND SERIANI SAID IT’S RIDICULOUS. UM I MEAN I MAYBE IT IS BUT WE DON’T SEE MANY FRANCHISE QUARTERBACKS HAVE 5 TURNOVER, NO TOUCHDOWN GAMES. HOW MANY OF THOSE THEY DO HEY, WE GOT TO SEE WHAT TANNER MCKE CAN DO. I’M NOT SAYING THEY SHOULD NOW, BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU COUPLE IT WITH THE DEREK GUN REPORT FROM A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THAT HE’S NOT RUNNING THE OFFENSE THE WAY THAT THEY WANT HIM TO. AND YOU GET A 5 TURNOVER NIGHT, LIKE, IT’S FAIR TO AT LEAST LIKE IT’S NOT A RIDICULOUS QUESTION THOUGH. NO, IT’S NOT RIDICULOUS. QUESTION, THAT SERIANI WAS RIDICULOUS. HE CAN RESPOND. HOWEVER, HE WANTS BUT IT’S NOT A RIDICULOUS QUESTION. GIVEN WHAT WE SAW MONDAY NIGHT? WELL, I THINK I THINK TO HIM, IT’S RIDICULOUS. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. I, I CAN UNDERSTAND US. ANYBODY ASKING THAT QUESTION TO HIM. HE’S GOING. WAIT, WE JUST WON THE SUPER BOWL LAST YEAR WITH THIS GUY. HE PLAYED AWESOME IN THE SUPER BOWL. HE’S TAKEN US TO ANOTHER SUPER BOWL AND I THINK HE’S LOOKING AT AND HE PROBABLY WOULD BE LIKE AND HAVE YOU SEEN HIS CONTRACT SITUATION WHERE SCREWED? HE’S GOT US BY THE KAHUNAS FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS. THAT’S THE ISSUE. SO THAT’S THE ISSUE. I KNOW IT IS, RIGHT? THAT’S THE ISSUE, RIGHT? SO THEY’RE A LITTLE STUCK THERE AND LET ME SAY THIS, LET ME JUST SAY THIS CHRIS BEFORE I FORGET. YEAH. THIS IS THE DOWNSIDE TO THE WAY, THE EAGLES ARE, MANAGING THE CAP, RIGHT? BECAUSE WHAT THEY DID WITH JAYLEN HERZ, THEY GAVE HIM A SMALL SIGNING BONUS, AND THE BULK OF HIS COMPENSATION COMES IN THE FORM OF ANNUAL OPTION, BONUSES, THAT KICK THE SALARY CAP CAN FARTHER AND FARTHER DOWN THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM IS, IF YOU END THE RELATIONSHIP, PREMATURELY THE CAP CONSEQUENCES ARE DEVASTATING, GIGANTIC, THEY ARE STUCK RIGHT WITH THE JAYLEN HERTZ CONTRACT FOR THE NEXT 3 4, 5 YEARS, RIGHT? GO AHEAD. KNOW AND AND I THINK THERE’S A FEELING IN THE ORGANIZATION THAT THAT HE KNOWS THAT THAT HE KNOWS HE’S GOT THEM OVER THE BARREL WITH THAT TO A DEGREE. SO SO THERE’S ALL THAT GOING ON RIGHT NOW SO I CAN UNDERSTAND AND NANI’S RIGHT NOW GOING. THE NFC EAST. STUCK RIGHT WITH THE JAYLEN NANI’S RIGHT NOW GOING. WAIT RIGHT? WE’RE WE’RE THE TEAM THAT WENT TO THE SUPER BOWL LAST YEAR SO HE’S NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON WHAT THEY ARE. THEY WENT THROUGH SOME STRUGGLES LIKE THIS IN THE PAST GAME IN THE OFFENSE LAST YEAR TOWARDS THE END OF THE YEAR, BUT THEY STILL WERE THE BEST RUNNING TEAM IN FOOTBALL BY FAR AND CAN STILL WIN GAMES THAT WAY. THAT’S WHERE THE RUBBER HAS HIT THE ROAD HERE OR THE, YOU KNOW, S***, HIT THE FAN OR WHATEVER. IT’S ALL BEING EXPOSED RIGHT NOW AND ESPECIALLY THE LAST FEW WEEKS BECAUSE OKAY, THE QUARTERBACK PLAY BEFORE THE THE 3 GAME. LOSING STREAK WASN’T WASN’T A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THE DEFENSE WOULD SAVE THE DAY OR SOMEBODY MADE IT HAPPEN. AND OKAY, WE SCORED OUR 2 REST OF THE DAY AND WE WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME. BUT NOW THEY’VE HAD A FEW GAMES WHERE, OH, THE DEFENSE HAD A BAD DAY. BEN JOHNSON, CAME TO TOWN. OH GOSH, GEORGE PICKINGS AND CEEDEE LAMBS MADE A FEW PLAY. THE DEFENSE CAN’T JUST SHUT THESE PEOPLE DOWN ALL GAME LONG. THE OFFENSE HAS TO MAKE A FEW PLAYS, THE QUARTERBACK, WHO’S PAID THE MOST ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM HAS TO MAKE A FEW PLAYS AND THAT’S WHERE IT JUST HASN’T HAPPENED. AND THEN WE GOT INTO A GAME THE OTHER NIGHT WHERE, YOU KNOW, AGAIN THEY RAN THE BALL A LITTLE BIT BUT IT’S THAT WE KNOW, CAN REALLY DEFEND THE PASS AND DO SOME TRICKY STUFF THERE. AND WHEN THEY NEEDED HIM TO DELIVER IN SOME PASSING SITUATIONS AND BIG GAME MOMENTS THAT WAY, HE DIDN’T DELIVER. BUT THAT’S BEEN LIKE THAT THE WHOLE YEAR. AND NOW NOW IT HASN’T RESULTED IN TURNOVERS BUT YOU KNOW RIGHT? WHETHER IT’S THE DEREK DUNN REPORT ALL THE PEOPLE IN PHILADELPHIA HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE HEARD ME SAY REALLY FOR THE LAST 2 AND A HALF YEARS IS THAT, YES, THESE ARE ISSUES AND IT’S JUST FINALLY GETTING EXPOSED BECAUSE OF OTHER THINGS ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM AND BECAUSE THEY CAN’T, YOU KNOW, UH, EXECUTE AN ELITE LEVEL IN OTHER WAYS ON THE TEAM RIGHT NOW NOW. IT’S LIKE WAIT, WAIT, OKAY, NOW WE GOT TO MAKE A THROW IN A BIG THIRD DOWN OR A BIG MOMENT. WE GOT TO MAKE A, A, A TOUGH DECISION ON, PUTTING THE BALL IN THE WINDOW HERE. AND AS YOU HEARD FROM THAT DEREK DUNN REPORTER FROM ME, HE JUST DOESN’T WANT TO PLAY IN THE POCKET AND MAKE THE RIGHT THROWS THAT HE DOESN’T PRACTICE AT TIMES AND DOES THAT, BUT WHEN HE GETS ON THE I LOOK AT 1 GUY. OH, I DON’T KNOW. HE WAS OPEN, I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING AT AND THEN HE SCRAMBLES AND RUNS OR DOES WHATEVER AND I THINK THAT’S WHERE THE TEAM IS FRUSTRATED AND OF COURSE, THE THE PUBLIC IS FINALLY, REALIZING IT AND THEY’RE FRUSTRATED WITH JAYLEN HERZ FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. IT SEEMS LIKE IN PHILADELPHIA. COUPLE OF QUICK OBSERVATIONS. FIRST OF ALL, IT’S DEREK GUN, NOT DEREK. OH, SORRY, SORRY. SORRY, LONG TIME. YES. I KNOW I KNOW DEREK GOT. I DON’T KNOW WHY THE EAGLES DONE. AND, AND HE SAID WHAT HE SAID, A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO ABOUT THEY WANT THE OFFENSE TO BE AROUND A CERTAIN WAY, AND WHEN IT’S TIME TO GO PLAY THE GAMES JAYLEN. HERTZ PLAYS HIS GAME HOLDS THE BALL TOO LONG. EXACTLY. DOESN’T TAKE THE AND TO LIGHT. THE OTHER NIGHT DEVIN. AND I TALKED ABOUT THIS ON TUESDAY, THE MORNING AFTER THE GAME, THERE WAS THE THIRD AND 16 PLAY IN OVERTIME. DEVONTE SMITH. AND IT WAS IT WAS THE WHOLE PLAY WAS A THING OF BEAUTY DROPPED BACK. FIRE THE BALL RIGHT TO AND IT LIKE, IT’S RARE FOR THE EAGLES TO DO THAT. BECAUSE YOU RARELY SEE JAYLEN HERTZ OPERATE WITHIN THAT TIMING, RIGHT OF THE LIKE RIGHT, RIGHT. RUN THE PLAY. RUN THE PLAY, MAKE THE THROW, HE RAN THE PLAY, HE MADE THE THROW, AND IT WAS, AND IT WAS GREAT. AND IT IT, YOU KNOW, SWUNG THE PENDULUM BACK TOWARD THE EAGLES UNTIL IT, IT SWUNG BACK THE OTHER WAY WITH THE INTERCEPTION. BUT IT’S LIKE, YEAH, THAT’S THE KIND OF THING THAT THEY’RE TRYING TO DO. THEY’RE TRYING TO GET RID OF THE BALL QUICKLY

You guys are the worst. Simms you truly hate Hurts and you were a below garbage quarterback
Hurts is a below average quarterback who gets paid like he's elite.
Jalen wants to get to scramble drill, I wonder if he really even knows the plays as he should. Scramble drill. Is schoolyard football, what he likes to do
If Burrow is unhappy – trade Hurts for Burrow.
Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts are two peas in a pod. Neither are top tier but considered 'leaders' so long that the team is winning. When they don't win, the rebuttal is, 'I don't call the offense…' 'the offensive line isn't as good' and 'the run game isn't helping…'
It's always the fault of everyone else.
Eagles coaching is the ONLY issue tjat needs tending in Philly…stfu about anything else!
The Chargers' defense is a buzzsaw, it has made a lot of QBs look bad.
This whole discussion sums up what's wrong with NFL. This guy brought you to 2 SBs was MVP of one and could have been of the second. You can't have an off year, and he hasn't even gotten through this year. This is so stupid. Yeah trade him and become Cleveland. Can we let a SB MVP string together 2 bad years before we have this discussion? I get it… podcasts, news needs content. That's all it is is content. Hopefully just filler.
Jefferey Lurie loves mediocrity
It is most definitely a ridiculous question. The only ones who think it’s not are trolls or those responsible for conjuring up content.
The Biennial Eagles Capitulation is the funest thing in football
It’s kind of wild seeing this and living in Philly because I’d be real hard pressed to find someone around that speaks of Jalen the way national media and local radio do. The amount of paid actors making something out of nothing needs to be studied.
Make em throw the Ball
The most hated jaylen hurts people on planet earth!! Hurts has more accomplishments then every QB playing currently except 2
Jalen Hurts is NOT the Eagles issue. Anyone who watches the games and knows anything about football can see the issues are more systemic – play-calling and schemes.
Hurts was carried to super bowl win last season! He is an average QB and is unable to deliver in the clutch moments
They got rid of Carson Wentz maybe they could get rid of Jalen
Three words: no trade clause
Bro always hating on hurts we don't care
I think Kyler and Jalen scammed the teams they play for.
Lurie – run the offense as ur told or im sitting u down. Its simple really.
Jalen Hurts is not a good qb. Look at his stats without Lane Johnson. He can't even win without Lane Johnson. I bet you McKee who is taller and probably throws to his receivers much more accurately could without Lane Johnson.
Super Bowl mvp 10 months ago get a clue Simms has always been a moron
Jalen Hurts and a First for Joe Burrow.
WHO says no?
Its jalens fault recievers drop balls
Been saying it since 2022. Take away that all star team Jalen hurts has around him and he’s an average quarterback
Youd think how 100% wrong the media was about Hurts and the Eagles that wouldve bought him a couple of bad games. He has comperable stats to mahomes this year btw
appreciate the analysis as usual. would love your thoughts on Herbert too, thought his performance vs. Eagles was also genuinely cringe-worthy
