Philadelphia Eagles GM Howie Roseman shut down the chatter about quarterback Jalen Hurts being “on the clock” for a make-or-break year, telling WIP that he doesn’t agree with that perception one bit. Forget the hot takes and the talk radio doom-and-gloom, Roseman is out here declaring his guy is a proven winner, no questions asked.
The Win-Loss Record That Shuts Everyone Up
Roseman made it clear: for him, and for the entire Eagles fanbase, “the bottom line is winning football games.” And by that metric, Jalen Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni are absolute studs. Since Sirianni took over, with Hurts as the starter, the Eagles boast a stellar 56-22 regular season record and a 6-4 postseason record, including a Super Bowl championship. That’s a serious track record, folks! Roseman isn’t just saying nice things, he’s pointing to the scoreboard. He’s excited for the season and what’s coming, openly stating that “a lot of fan bases out there” would absolutely kill for the kind of results they’ve had with Hurts leading the charge. You can practically hear the mic drop.
Defense Flexing While The Offense… Is Being Talked About
While the GM is all-in on Hurts, the early word on the rest of the team is a mixed bag. The defense? Yeah, that unit “looks like it’s going to be very, very good.” That’s the kind of news that gets fans hyped. The offense, though? Well, it’s a solid “eh.” There’s even a jab that the starting QB, Hurts, is apparently using ChatGPT for Stuart Smalley daily affirmations, which is, uh, a take. The backup QB situation is also drawing some eyes. Andy Dalton is mentioned, but the vibe is he “doesn’t matter” much, or if he plays, “things are going pretty poorly.” The team’s showing a lot of patience with younger guys like Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers, both top 60 picks who had limited summers due to injuries or struggles. The good news is they’re putting in “good faith effort to improve,” and the team is giving them time. Meanwhile, the overall QB situation beyond Hurts is deemed “trickier,” with Tanner McKee and Dalton. The team says all the right things, but the “tape says all the wrong things,” even if “tape can be tricky.”
So, with Roseman putting all his chips on Hurts, you know all eyes are going to be on the quarterback when the Eagles kick off their season opener against the Green Bay Packers on September 6th in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Roseman’s betting big on his guy. Now it’s time to see if Hurts keeps delivering those wins that silence the critics.
