Still, overall, the Eagles likely felt pleased by what they saw from Jalen Hurts on Monday. The quarterback has gotten better each day of camp so far, and considering this is his first training camp as the starter, that has to be encouraging for the coaches.

The story said the biggest improvement was Hurts' intermediate throws. That was a change from what reporters have seen so far from him in camp. Hurts has mostly been either checking the ball down or going deep. On Monday, however, Hurts had no issue completing passes in the middle of the field. Hurts sits at 10th in our rankings and should be available around the middle of drafts for owners who want to wait.

Former Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been traded to the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles received draft compensation in return.

Carson Wentz reunites with Frank Reich in Indy and gets a chance to revive his career after injuries and poor performance derailed much of the past two seasons. This also opens the starting QB job in Philly for Jalen Hurts.

Prior to the trade, our John Paulsen had Wentz and Hurts ranked 28th and 29th in his 'Never Too Early' rankings. That will change for the better for both signal callers.

Doug Pederson said Monday that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start the season finale against Washington, which is meaningless for the Eagles but will make Washington the NFC East champion if the visitors win.

“Definitely want to continue to evaluate, not only him but the rest of the team, and where we are moving forward,” Pederson said.

Hurts wasn't great in Week 16, a loss to a Dallas and a defense that has struggled at times this year. But the Eagles want to continue to get a look at Hurts, as has been reported since he took over the starting job. There will be lots of decisions to make this offseason in Philly, from QB to coach to GM.

The Eagles are opening the 21-day window for WR DeSean Jackson (ankle) to practice, source says.

He’s currently on IR but attempting to return as the Eagles are still alive to win the NFL East and host a home playoff game if things fall their way. Jackson's speed would be an interesting combo with Hurts now at QB for the Eagles. Hurts has done a much better job extending plays and moving out of the pocket. But, Jackson is far from a safe play in fantasy lineups even if he returns sooner than later.

Jalen Hurts will make his third career start against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas on Sunday.

Carson Wentz

No shock here as even in a loss to the Cardinals Hurts was again dynamic. Reports say Wentz now wants out of Philly if regulated to a backup next season, and as of now, it looks like the Eagles will be sticking with Hurts for the long term

Jalen Hurts has started only two games. His long-term future is still murky, but the Eagles’ quarterback picture for the next nine months is crystal clear. Barring injury, Hurts will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2021 season, and denying that inevitability is as obtuse as Doug Pederson choosing to wait a day before declaring Hurts next week’s starter.

Wentz has already asked to be moved if Hurts is going to be the starter, according to reports. The author thinks some team will come calling for Wentz and that Wentz will likely play well for his new team next season. The story added in his first two starts, Hurts has piled up 505 passing yards and an NFL-record 169 rushing yards. Against the league’s No. 2 and No. 9 defense, per DVOA, Hurts has led the Eagles to 24 and 26 points, their third- and fifth-highest outputs of the season, respectively.

Jalen Hurts will start again Sunday vs. Cardinals.

This comes as a surprise to no one, but earlier Monday HC Doug Pederson told a local radio station he hadn't decided yet. Other reports say Hurts will start the rest of the season.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said he has not yet decided whether Jalen Hurts or Carson Wentz will start Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

"I'm going to take a look at [the Saints film]. I'm going to look at a lot of different things before I make that determination this week," he said.

It seems like coach-speak of course. Pederson appeared on a local radio station Monday morning and praised Hurts' performance against the New Orleans Saints' top-ranked defense in his first career start, but he held back from saying the rookie would remain under center, the story said. The story also added, the expectation is Hurts will get the nod. Player and team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that it's Hurts' job for the rest of the season, barring injury or disastrous play.

Team sources told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen that, “barring injury or disastrous play”, Jalen Hurts will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback for the rest of the season.

Hurts has a tough task for his first NFL start against the league’s No. 1 defense in New Orleans. But it sounds like unless he absolutely flops today, he’ll be out there for Philadelphia’s last three games as well against Arizona, Dallas and Washington. Hurts is our No. 21 QB this week as the Eagles look for anything on offense.

To view Jalen Hurts as the Eagles’ likely quarterback of the future would be a mistake. The most likely scenario is that Hurts is not the long-term answer. That’s not me being harsh and counting a guy out before he even starts a game. That’s just what history tells us. From 2008 to 2017 (I’m using this range so that we get at least three full years of each player), 24 quarterbacks were taken on Day 2 of the draft. Among that group, six became starters: Russell Wilson, Derek Carr, Colin Kaepernick, Nick Foles, Andy Dalton and Jimmy Garoppolo. This is not complex math, but we can say that the chances based on that sample of finding a starter in the second or third round is roughly 25 percent.

The story went on to say the one thing the Eagles cannot do is convince themselves that Hurts is the guy after a four-game sample. The goal should just be information gathering. It’s possible they learn that the offensive system and surrounding talent aren’t the problem, and the issues were even more Wentz-related than suspected. It’s also possible they discover the offensive system and surrounding talent are the problem, and it doesn’t really matter who’s playing quarterback, the story all said. The author said given that Hurts had a shortened offseason and no preseason, he would expect that we’d see a heavy QB-inclusive run game and a simplified passing game in which he’s encouraged to take off if he doesn’t like what he sees - for those interested in plugging in Hurts for Week 14.
