Adam Schefter cites the coronavirus pandemic while explaining why the Eagles drafted Jalen Hurts

“Now in this day and age, I’ve had teams tell me it’s more important than ever to have a backup quarterback in this pandemic. We’re going to be playing next year, coronavirus is out there, COVID-19, what if your quarterback gets the virus? It’s an interesting situation here. I think there are more problems than ever before. And so I think teams are looking up to sure up the most important position in the sport. And that’s why the Eagles did it.”

howie and the boys have the spin machine working overdrive


hurts actually seems like a decent dude but will get shytted on because he makes no sense for us. we could have signed cam or something if we needed a qb for wentz backup. it was a waste or resources and unforgivable

edit: now we gonna have these alabama fans come in here suddenly eagles experts telling us about our team as i can see is happening already

Philly born. PG raised
Can we just take a WR that’s taller than 6’ with solid hands?

idk if I’m oversimplifying this, but anything else is noise at this point unless there’s a db prospect that is significantly better than the next best WR.

2017 Nick Foles was an experienced veteran QB already familiar with Doug Pederson and the general offensive system that he ran. Pederson scouted Foles in 2012 and also worked with him in 2016 as OC in Kansas City. On top of it all, 2017 Foles came onto a stacked team, with a Top 5 offense and defense, to a coaching staff that already understood who he was as a player and how to scheme around his weaknesses and maximize his strengths. Also, we didn’t waste premium picks on him.

Jalen Hurts is an inexperienced rookie QB who has never taken starter reps in the NFL, and will not be taking them in 2020 because Wentz is still the starter. To my knowledge, he is not familiar with Doug Pederson or the general offensive scheme that he runs. On top of that, Hurts will not be coming onto a team with a stacked offense and defense. He will be coming onto a team whose most productive receivers were two tight ends and a running back, and whose secondary gave up more big plays than any other in the NFL.

I’m not even saying that Hurts will be a bad player, I don’t know what he’ll be in the league, but he’s a huge gamble that the team took in lieu of using that premium pick on someone who could actually help make the Eagles better.

If this were 2019, and the Eagles were coming into the draft with a team presumably set at its most important positions, I’d wouldn’t be as frustrated as I am now. I’d still think it was a reach, but at least I wouldn't see the consequences for that reach being as bad as they are now. But you need those high picks. Statistically speaking, most starters are found in the 1st and 2nd Rounds of the draft. We made one pick (Reagor) to make the team better.
Bru let that Hill shyt go its BS. That's. Just fluff, Hurts is here in case they wanna move on from wentz. People have selective memory when it comes to Wentz he is up and down.injury prone and not The best leader , you think its a coincidence they took some one who is the complete opposite
Doug prides himself on getting the most outta a QB . can you imagine if he brings the best outta Hurts he will be a beast. Because truth be told coming outta college he is just a good a prospect as wentz , leading 2 of the country's top schools to the playoffs. He is not gomna just be a wildcat QB keep thinking that. Wentz better get it together together watch . that's why Eason and Fromm are still out there they want a real prospect not just a guy. Hurts has the resume to back his shyt up he wins and he has won big games that's the truth.
