While there’s still some time before the season kicks off, let’s take a look at some of the latest buzz surrounding the Eagles…
Can Jalen Hurts Lead the Charge?

With several key questions looming over the Eagles’ upcoming season, a lot hinges on the performance of Jalen Hurts. Will he return to his MVP-caliber form from 2022 or continue his inconsistencies from the previous year?
Sheil Kapadia highlighted the importance of Hurts’ decision-making and accountability. While new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore is expected to enhance Hurts’ performance with a more advanced scheme, there are concerns about his ability to take ownership of his mistakes.
In a recent analysis, Kapadia pointed out that Hurts will be tasked with more responsibilities this season, especially with the departure of veteran center Jason Kelce. The young quarterback will need to showcase his ability to handle the pressure and lead the offense effectively.
