Supposed issues involving quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown have hovered over the Philadelphia Eagles for years and were detailed in numerous stories up until the Eagles traded Brown to the New England Patriots.
Thus, it has been lost among some casual fans that Hurts is working with a new offensive coordinator in Sean Mannion and a new quarterbacks coach in Parks Frazier this spring. While speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Hurts was asked if he is growing comfortable in the new Philadelphia offense.
"The comfort comes with the repetition," Hurts responded, as shared by Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. "The comfort comes with the teaching and the time on task to what you’re doing. And so you just want to continue to build in those areas. I think it’s been the same for me every year when it comes to coaching points, intention, vision, what are we really trying to drive what we’re doing. And so just really having a listening ear, asking questions, getting answers, going out there and repping it, feeling it, seeing different looks, seeing different coverages, knowing what to adjust to with the field."
Springtime practices often go ignored among those who don't read NFL-related stories 12 months a year. That said, the Eagles' most recent sessions could prove to be vital for Hurts regarding his long-term future with the franchise.
At this point, it's no secret that more than a few reporters and insiders believe that Eagles general manager Howie Roseman could make a quarterback change in early 2027 if Hurts doesn't thrive while playing under Mannion and Frazier. Since September 2025, Hurts has received plenty of criticism for the struggles the Philadelphia offense endured last season.
Hurts insisted that Frazier "has been great" and that the signal-caller is "excited to see what the summer brings and training camp brings" once those sessions begin in late July.
"So obviously a different voice, different perspective of the game, and every OC has added their own flavor on it," Hurts added. "I think another component is quarterback coach, too, because that’s something that’s changed along with the play caller. So, just being able to adjust to all those things, filter it out, figure it out as time goes."
Time will tell how Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni will respond if Hurts doesn't figure things out as it pertains to playing better later this year.
