Jalen Hurts’ true value is becoming clear as the Eagles’ struggle continues

Inside the Iggles writer Nathan Doyle argues that the Philadelphia Eagles' ongoing struggles highlight Jalen Hurts' true value and elite status. Hurts was ruled out for the season due to blood clots in his lungs, leading to four consecutive losses under backup quarterback Tanner McKee. Doyle contends that Hurts remains underappreciated despite leading the franchise to two Super Bowls, including a championship victory as Super Bowl MVP.

The article notes that Philadelphia's offensive system was specifically constructed around Hurts' versatile rushing and passing capabilities. Following McKee's winless stretch, the Eagles named Joe Milton III as their starting quarterback for a Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants. Doyle emphasizes that Philadelphia's offensive breakdown without Hurts proves his critical role within the organization.
