This week on Blitz Sports Magazine Podcast, CEO/Publisher Malik Spann talks about football and the Eagles with Gene Clemmons from the Football Gameplan. The Jalen Hurts-Carson Wentz debate is all the rage in Philadelphia but the question many have is - Exactly - WHO is Jalen Hurts?
Gene Clemmons says that the Eagles should look at the stats and realize that they have gold with Hurts but believes the Eagles will give Carson Wentz a chance to win his job back this season.
Michael Vick, who played five seasons with the Eagles, was a guest on Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED on FS1 and gave his assessment of Hurts’ performance over the past 2.5 games.
“When you look at a guy like Jalen Hurts and his skillset and what he brings to the table, you automatically start thinking about the future, building around him and how the offense can potentially progress and what you can do in it,” said Vick. “I know if I’m thinking that way, Doug Pederson has to be thinking the same.”
The Eagles are taking it week by week with Hurts, but the rookie is coming off a performance in which he became the first signal-caller in franchise history to score 4-total touchdowns as a rookie.
Even though this week's matchup against the Cowboys went wrong, the consensus is that the Eagles invest in what Hurts need.
Michael Vick says it’s all about having the right guy under center and it sounds like he believes Hurts gives the Eagles the best chance for success moving forward.
“You can’t win if you don’t have the right guy behind center,” said Vick. “Not to say that Carson wasn’t the right guy, but it was starting to look like the paint was just running a little bit dry on the wall. Philadelphia Eagles fans probably feel like they need something new. I know that’s the way they feel and they don’t give you too much time out there.
