NFL Analyst Tips Jalen Hurts to Have Strong Season With Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts is set to be the lead man in Philadelphia. After a long spell of serving as the deputy to Carson Wentz, the franchise are now placing their bets on him.

Carson Wentz is no longer in Philadelphia, and the Eagles are trusting Hurts to be the new starting quarterback. One NFL analyst is tipping him to have a very successful stint as the starter for the Eagles.

NFL analyst Matt Miller spoke recently about Jalen Hurts. He believes that Hurts is set up for success with the Philadelphia Eagles this season.

He compared Hurts’ progression during his college days with both Alabama and Oklahoma. Based on that progression, he can bring similar energy this season, and show what he can do with a full offseason under his belt.

“I think the key with Jalen Hurts, what we saw going from Alabama to Oklahoma, he got with Lincoln Riley, he worked on his mechanics. He loosened up his delivery, that made him more accurate.

“I’m really excited to see where he takes that moving forward with the full offseason. We got to remember these rookie quarterbacks didn’t have a preseason last year, they didn’t have an offseason last year.”

Miller added that Hurts was a significant improvement over Carson Wentz last season. There was a major difference in the energy brought to the field, and the Eagles were better for it.

Miller then noted that Hurts has his full faith as the future starting quarterback going forward. However, Miller also hoped that the franchise puts a better system around him to get the best out of Hurts.

“So Jalen Hurts was really thrown into a tough situation. But I think they key is this offense like Jalen Reagor said. They played better with Jalen Hurts, there was a lot more energy out on the field, the numbers went up as well.

“So I believe in him as the future starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. And hope they now put that system around him, where he can go succeed and show the traits that he showed at Alabama, at Oklahoma.”

Can Jalen Hurts succeed as the starting quarterback for the Eagles? Last season, Hurts was the light in a very dark year for the Eagles.

And if the Eagles can build a team around Jalen Hurts, they can find great success. However, there are still a lot of questions around Hurts, and he will have to answer them this season.
