Shannon Sharpe’s remarks follow the idea of the Philadelphia Eagles running back, Miles Sanders. The former Penn State standout remarks on his excitement about Philadelphia’s scoring skills. Moreover, stating them as an “All-Star” unit drew a lot of coverage. Sanders’ rookie contract runs out in 2023, which is noteworthy. But Sharpe offers his outlook as a veteran.
After Sanders’ comments, Shannon Sharpe keeps his stance on the Skip and Shannon: Undisputed show on FS1. He swiftly ranks the Philadelphia Eagles as a potential threat to Dallas Cowboys. And his reason is simple: QB Jalen Hurts.
He mentions, “Go back and look at the offensive linemen that blocked for Jalen Hurts. They were all first or second-round draft picks. Every single one of them got replaced. Why? because he had accuracy issues. You look at his numbers. Jalen Hurts with 19th and QBR, and you said you know what he was behind. You got little to no respect. He was behind Kirk Cousins. You got no respect for him. He was behind Jimmy G. He was behind, walking to him. Let that sink in for a second. His QBR was behind guys that skipped.”
Shannon appreciates the Eagles’ offseason moves and their offensive roster rebuild. It could bring the team back into playoff prominence. But the HOF TE claims Jalen Hurts’ accuracy troubles could lead the team to doomsday instead of a playoff berth.

Shannon Sharpe also reveals his ultimate intention regarding the Eagles‘ roster during the show; he doesn’t care. And the reason for this is Jalen Hurts’ lack of precision and dependability. He also claims that the Eagles can roster Jerry Rice and Rob Gronkowski and keep Randy Moss in the reverse position. However, in the active roster, they need to find a reliable gunslinger.
