Eagles Face Criticism as Hurts Struggles

The Philadelphia Eagles, currently at 2-2, are facing criticism despite some positive moments this season. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has struggled with turnovers, recording seven already this season, which has raised concerns about his performance and trust in the offense, particularly with key players A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith sidelined. Analysts have noted a significant decline in Hurts' efficiency, comparing his current struggles to those seen in former Eagles QB Carson Wentz, although Hurts' issues seem primarily execution-related rather than injury-based. Despite these challenges, there is optimism that with the return of injured players post-bye week, Hurts can regain his form. The Eagles' coaching staff has been critiqued for their strategies, particularly regarding predictability in play-calling on third downs. Overall, while Hurts' situation is concerning, he is still viewed as a talented player capable of improvement.
