Jalen Hurts’ Chances of Becoming the Eagles’ Franchise QB Just Took a Massive Hit Due to Howie Roseman’s Devious Ways

Howie Roseman tried to pass off his QB, Nick Foles, as the Philadelphia Eagles’ new franchise quarterback in order for him to sign with them. However, this backfired considering how Jameis Winston is likely going to pick up an $18 million contract elsewhere. How did Howie get so lucky? Well let’s just say he has some “unorthodox” ways of acquiring players that Philly fans might not like.

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles offense hit a major stumbling block in Week 12 after a string of promising performances. Hurts threw three nasty interceptions as the New York Giants restricted them to only seven points.

The Eagles have gone to great lengths to persuade supporters that Hurts is the quarterback of the future. After selling former franchise quarterback Carson Wentz, they seemed to go all-in on the second-year quarterback, appointing him captain and hanging his pictures on the wall.

With the Eagles’ record now at 5-7 with their latest defeat, concerns regarding Hurts’ future in Philadelphia are beginning to surface.

With Jalen Hurts at the helm, the Eagles have had mixed outcomes.

Jalen Hurts is doubtful for Sunday, according to Nick Sirianni.

With Hurts in charge of the offense, the Eagles have had mixed outcomes through 12 games this season.

Hurts was asked to play like a traditional pass-first quarterback for the first few games, but he refused. They began to produce better outcomes after adopting to a more unconventional run-first strategy. Over the course of four weeks, they defeated the Detroit Lions, Denver Broncos, and New Orleans Saints, giving supporters reason to be optimistic about a playoff run.

In Week 13, though, everything came crumbling down against the Giants. Hurts only managed 129 yards passing on 31 tries, with three interceptions to boot. Hurts, combined with a pair of ill-timed drops by struggling WR Jalen Reagor, was the main reason Philadelphia was able to defeat New York.

Hurts’ ankle injury further adds to the uncertainty surrounding the issue. It was one of the worst performances by an Eagles starting quarterback in in years. Hurts says he will be able to play this weekend against the New York Jets. The Eagles, on the other hand, seem to be leaning toward giving backup Gardner Minshew a chance to play.

Howie Roseman, the general manager, is said to be losing trust in Jalen Hurts.

Jeffrey Lurie’s patience with Jalen Hurts might determine his future with the #Eagles.

The owner pushed for Hurts to be drafted and is thought to still believe in him, but there are other factors at work.

A report describing general manager Howie Roseman’s lack of trust in Hurts’ capacity to grow into a franchise arm has recently been released, adding even more drama and uncertainty to the issue. Given Hurts’ terrible performance against the Giants, Roseman has a history of behaving rashly and impatiently with the quarterback position.

Two separate people familiar with their thinking said Lurie still believes in Hurts, while Roseman’s judgment is less certain…

Despite several sexual assault claims, the Eagles conducted preliminary research on [Deshaun] Watson and were open to the potential of a trade with the [Houston] Texans, according to sources. While this seems to contradict Lurie’s directive, Hurts would have either been traded or lowered off the depth chart. Of course, a relocation of this size would not be possible without the permission of the property owner. According to two individuals acquainted with Lurie’s thinking, he was the driving factor behind his team’s interest. “Until it comes to quarterbacks,” one NFL insider who worked with the Eagles said, “Jeffrey has his convictions.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane

At the end of the day, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is the guy with the authority, as writer Jeff McLane observed.

The little nugget in Roseman’s evaluation about growing “less confident” is noteworthy. After all, it was Roseman who picked Hurts in the first place, while also pushing Wentz out the door.

This isn’t the first time the Eagles have created a quarterback controversy on their own.

Howie Roseman’s Super Bowl victory in 2017 maintains him in good standing with Jeffrey Lurie, the team’s owner. His self-inflicted quarterback controversies, on the other hand, continue to mount by the day.

The Eagles are unable to commit to a single, coherent quarterback strategy, which has left them in limbo. They have three first-round selections at their disposal if they decide to trade Hurts. External alternatives, on the other hand, are limited. Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson are getting older, while Deshaun Watson’s legal concerns have yet to be resolved.

The possibility of drafting a new franchise quarterback is always on the table. Roseman, on the other hand, has a hard time with this. In 2016, he nailed the Wentz choice, but he only got to retain him for five years. Is it truly Lurie’s intention to give Roseman the authority to make another major decision?

Regardless, the Eagles are at a fork in the road when it comes to quarterback. Hurts’ assessment time is running out, and they need to make a choice as quickly as possible. If Roseman and Lurie are on different sides of the argument, it’s possible that a new general manager in Philadelphia is on the way.
