The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for the 2026 NFL season, and the latest quarterback rankings from Pro Football Focus (PFF) have Jalen Hurts in the middle of the pack. While Hurts has consistently performed well, with a top-12 PFF passing grade for the fourth consecutive season, there are moments when he doesn't look like an elite quarterback. His reluctance to throw over the middle of the field is a notable weakness, with only 135 attempts between the numbers in the 2025 regular season, the 23rd-lowest in the NFL. This, coupled with a low average yards per carry and a 71.6 PFF rushing grade, suggests that Hurts' performance could be improved. The Eagles' offseason moves, including the acquisition of Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown and the signing of Chris Kuper, are intended to address these weaknesses and bolster the team's overall performance. However, the team's success will ultimately depend on the players' ability to adapt to new systems and the defense's ability to carry the day while the offense acclimates. The Eagles' general manager, Howie Roseman, has a proven track record of success, and the team's recent draft picks, such as Uar Bernard, show a commitment to developing young talent. The Eagles' future looks promising, but the team will need to navigate the challenges of change and the potential for growing pains as they strive to maintain their position as one of the most consistently successful teams in the league.
