Jalen Hurts' quarterback career in Philadelphia has been a wild ride, full of highs and lows. As the team's starter since 2021, Hurts has shown flashes of brilliance, including his MVP runner-up season in 2022. However, he's also struggled at times, particularly in 2023 when the Eagles collapsed after starting the year 10-1.
Hurts' leadership skills have been called into question, as well as his relationship with head coach Nick Sirianni. Despite these issues, Hurts has consistently delivered under pressure, including a strong playoff run that culminated in Super Bowl MVP honors.
As the Eagles look to repeat as champions in 2026, it's unclear whether Hurts will be back as starter or if he'll need to compete for his job. The quarterback's performance will be closely scrutinized, and any subpar season could lead to questions about his long-term role in Philly.
In contrast, Tanner McKee, the Eagles' backup quarterback, has shown promise despite a disappointing 2025 season. However, the team's decision to add an insurance trade for Sam Howell suggests that McKee may be next in line as starter if Hurts struggles again.
For now, it seems unlikely that Howell will stick with the Eagles beyond 2026. The Vikings' QB2 may not have enough value to warrant keeping him on the roster, especially given the team's other quarterback options.
The #JimmyVerdict Stay or Go results are in, and for Hurts, it's a mixed bag. McKee is expected to be back in camp, but his role may depend on how well he performs during training camp. Howell, meanwhile, is unlikely to make it past 2026.

... think Hurts gonna get benched if he doesn't shape up? Like, we know he's capable of greatness, but that one season in '23 was a major bummer 
. And now the team's all over him about his leadership skills... what's next? 
I don't trust the decision to bring in Sam Howell as insurance, that just sets up another QB drama situation 
. And McKee, poor dude... if he doesn't step it up, he'll be outta there too 
. Hurts' future in Philly is looking shaky 
.
. With Hurts' leadership and performance under pressure bein' questioned, it's uncertain if he'll still be the starter come 2026. McKee's shown promise, but he needs to step up his game in training camp or he might be dethroned by Howell 
. If Howell's value isn't worth keepin' around past 2026, then I'm not sure why the Eagles would wanna hold onto him 
. Maybe it's time for them to consider a change at QB? 
. And what's with the trade for Howell? Are they trying to bolster their depth or is that just a stretch? Not buying it 
. It's not fair to say his leadership skills are in question when we've seen him rally the team in big games like Super Bowl LIV 
. Tanner McKee might be looking good now, but I think Hurts still has what it takes to lead this team back to the top 
. And let's be real, if he doesn't perform up to par next year, then maybe he shouldn't be the starter 
. But for now, I'm sticking by my boy Jalen 
.
! Hurts has been the main man for ages, but his leadership skills are just sketchy 
And Sirianni's got some 'splainin' to do too... the dude's coaching is all over the place like a hot mess express 
!
Can we just have a solid QB situation for once? 
. And let's be real, Super Bowl MVP is no joke! 
But at the same time, his leadership has been called into question and there have been some pretty rough patches for him.
It seems like they're setting themselves up for a situation where one of these guys is benched or cut.
. McKee needs to step up his game if he wants any shot at starting alongside Hurts. Howell's chances are looking slim, and that's no surprise given how underwhelming his 2025 season was 
. Unless he takes a step back from his game, that is 
The question is, can he keep it up? Maybe they should've stuck with him last year... 
But hey, at least there's a healthy competition brewing between McKee and Howell - that's what makes the NFL so exciting! 
. And Sam Howell? Um, I mean... not sure what to say about that guy 
.
.
. McKee's got promise, but struggled last season 
. Stay or Go results show Hurts is a mixed bag 
. Howell? unlikely to stick around much longer 
. If he can lead the team to another championship, all these questions will be forgotten... or so I hope 
I'm literally SHOOK about this QB situation! Like, Jalen Hurts has been our boy since day one and I don't know what we'd do without him 
The #JimmyVerdict Stay or Go results are so dramatic lol, I need to see how everything plays out before I can start making up my mind
