Jalen Hurts, you know, is he the answer? Is he the problem?... if Jalen Hurts shows this year that he's not a good fit for that system, then the Eagles may have to make themselves some hard decisions starting at that quarterback spot.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Hurts' fit in new Shanahan-tree system is critical 2026 storyline.

Jalen Hurts faces a critical 2026 season under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and the Shanahan-McVay offensive tree system, mandated by Eagles ownership and Howie Roseman as the modern NFL blueprint for success. Garofalo notes that if Hurts fails to prove he's a good fit for this system, the Eagles may make hard decisions at the quarterback spot; however, if the offensive line stays healthy and Saquon Barkley runs effectively, the Eagles offense could return to being one of the NFC's best.
