Packers Super Bowl champion doesn't hold back on Eagles QB amid A. J. Brown drama - "Jalen Hurts is the problem"
The Philadelphia Eagles are winning, but Jalen Hurts' performance has been questioned by many analysts after Week 14's 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers. Although he did not commit any turnovers, the quarterback threw for just 108 yards.
The Eagles are gearing up for another playoff run, and they need to be at their best to compete with the Detroit Lions in the NFC. With Hurts playing at this level, things are going to be difficult, especially as the Lions have a top-two offense in the NFL.
A Monday interview by Eagles' defensive end Brandon Graham hinted at personal problems between the quarterback and his best friend, A.J. Brown. Graham stated in the interview that their personal relationship has changed, and this could be the reason with they aren't connecting on the field.
However, ormer NFL wide receiver James Jones, part of the Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl-winning roster in 2010, wants no excuses for poor performances: the problem on this offense is the quarterback and nothing else.
Listen, to win a Super Bowl right now, Jalen Hurts is the problem. Period. The passing game is the problem. If they are going to win a Super Bowl, because they have a Super Bowl-caliber roster, if they are going to win a Super Bowl right now, he is the problem. He has to get better. But then again, when I do look at it and I hear BG [Brandon Graham], Jalen Hurts is trying, maybe this is the best Jalen. Maybe we're asking too much for Jalen. Maybe, maybe this is the best him. Jalen is not doing his job in the passing. Period. It ain't hard to say that.
The 108 yards thrown by the quarterback were his lowest amount of the season, but this was his third straight game with under 200 passing yards. This is something they have to correct before the postseason comes up.
What are the next games for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles?
Nick Sirianni's team is already qualified for the playoffs with a 11-2 record, and they could wrap up the NFC East in Week 15.
They will play the Pittsburgh Steelers at home, with games against the Washington Commanders (away), the Dallas Cowboys (home) and the New York Giants (home) to follow suit. They have a three-game advantage against the Commanders, who have a 8-5 record, in the NFC East race.
