Overview

• Nick Sirianni forcefully rejected claims that Hurts was merely a passenger on Philadelphia’s Super Bowl run, branding the narrative “bulls---” in multiple press appearances.
• An ESPN survey of NFL executives, coaches and scouts placed Hurts at No. 9 among quarterbacks, reflecting divergent views on his standing despite his 2024 achievements.
• Offseason rankings diverge sharply, with Pro Football Focus and Bleacher Report ranking Hurts among the top five QBs while analysts like Chris Simms and outlets such as SBNation leave him outside the top 10.
• Grant Gordon singled out Hurts as the likeliest candidate to deliver the Eagles’ first Super Bowl–era regular-season MVP and an anonymous AFC executive praised his improved running threat and reduced turnovers.
• In 2024 Hurts compiled 2,903 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, a career-low five interceptions and 14 rushing scores, though critics argue he benefited from an elite offensive line and weapons headlined by Saquon Barkley.
