Nick Sirianni responds to the report that Eagles players and coaches are frustrated with Jalen Hurts

Welcome back to Eagles Discourse, the show where Philadelphia wins football games and we still somehow have a brand new meltdown on a Tuesday morning.

The Birds are 8-2, sitting at the top of the NFC, the defense is eating souls, and yet here we are, dragging ourselves into another round of “Is Jalen Hurts secretly Carson Wentz in a different jersey.”

This week’s edition was brought to us by Derrick Gunn, who reported that people inside the Eagles organization are frustrated with Hurts and even went as far as calling him Carson Wentz Part Two. That is one hell of a comparison considering Hurts is the reigning Super Bowl MVP and does not currently have his brain wrapped in tinfoil.

Derrick Gunn claims Jalen Hurts is “Carson Wentz Part II”

Nick Sirianni responded this morning saying the only sentence he could possibly say in that moment: “I am not frustrated with him.”

No kidding. The man literally watched Jalen Hurts carry this franchise through a Super Bowl run. If Sirianni walked into the NovaCare Complex and said he was frustrated with his Super Bowl MVP quarterback in the middle of an 8-2 season, Jeffrey Lurie would have him thrown into the Schuylkill.

Let us talk about frustration. You want to be annoyed with something, I have a list.

I have multiple lists, actually, but we’ll stick to the football-related one for now.

The offensive line has been playing football like they are in witness protection. Lane Johnson is hurt. Cam Jurgens has been on and off the field. The communication has been a coin flip every drive.

Saquon Barkley has not looked like Saquon Barkley, unless you mean Giants 2023 Saquon Barkley. The scheme under Kevin Patullo has been a geometry worksheet with no right answers. AJ Brown has spent more time fueling content for sports talk radio than the Eagles have spent in the red zone.

We are all supposed to be furious with Jalen Hurts. Why?

Because Jalen Hurts has been gun shy in a couple of games behind an offensive line that collapses like wet cardboard? Maybe because he is trying to win games without getting split in half on every snap?

Honestly, what are we doing? If anything, Jalen Hurts has been the duct tape keeping this thing upright.

This is not Carson Wentz Part Two.

Carson Wentz Part Two would involve burner accounts, a few questionable priests in the middle of america, a duck genocide, and collapsing leadership inside the locker room. We would have teammates ready to eject themselves into the sun, right? None of that is happening… yet.

If a few guys wish the offense were more explosive, congratulations, so does every single person reading this.

Jalen Hurts has not played his best football. That part is fair. He would probably be the first to admit it. But frustrated with Jalen Hurts as a leader, a quarterback, and the face of the franchise? Get a grip.

The Eagles have real problems to focus on. An actual offense would be nice. An offensive coordinator who remembers the sport he is coaching would be even better. Maybe a training staff that can prevent an entire roster from turning into a medical journal.

This idea that a Super Bowl MVP quarterback has suddenly morphed into Carson Wentz because the offense cannot stop stalling is pure lunacy.

The Eagles are 8-2. The NFC goes through Philadelphia until further notice. If Jalen Hurts is the problem, then every other team in the conference has bigger ones.

Now let us please talk about the Cowboys game and not whether our quarterback needs a spiritual realignment and a leadership seminar. Enough already.
