The Philadelphia Eagles‘ offense looked sharp in Week 1, but quarterback Jalen Hurts still doesn’t seem to get enough credit, or at least as much as his peers do.
That doesn’t seem to bother Hurts at all, which is why analyst Greg Cosell recently praised the Super Bowl champion with three notable words.
“I think Jalen Hurts has an UNBELIEVABLE understanding of what he is and how to play within that offense…he’s one of the smartest quarterbacks in the league…”

Hurts is very athletic and one of the best scramblers in the game.
More importantly, he seemingly has no ego, and he knows that he doesn’t need to do more than he’s asked to do to help his team win.
His numbers are far from flashy, and he may not be a top 10 quarterback in terms of talent or skill, but he doesn’t need to be that to be a winner.
Hurts is a leader and a competitor, and above all that, a champion, which is much more than most of the quarterbacks who are usually ranked ahead of him can say.
The Eagles didn’t reach two Super Bowls in spite of him. They got there because of him, and he actually outplayed Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes each time.
