When you’ve got nice quarterbacks, what you see more often than not is constant greatness, proper? From a week-to-week foundation, you already know what you’ll be able to count on from the good ones…And that to me is the dichotomy with a man like Jalen Hurts. There are some video games the place you allow the sport scratching your head.”
The Eagles’ playoff run final winter provides examples of what Warner described. Hurts recorded 131 passing yards in Philadelphia’s wild-card win over the Inexperienced Bay Packers earlier than he handed for 128 yards in a divisional-round victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
He then completed 20-of-28 passes for 246 yards and a landing within the NFC Championship Sport win over the Washington Commanders.
