From the episode

Hurts is completing 57.8% of his throws this season. Over the last two weeks, without Devontae Smith, 49.3%. 6.2 yards per pass attempt on the season, just 4.7 yards per attempt the last two weeks... he has one touchdown run this season. He had 46 rushing yards in week one. Since then, he's averaged 15.3 rushing yards per game... the tush push is gone. Like, that is not coming back. This Eagles offensive line is a mess.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Hurts' rushing upside gone; tush push eliminated by O-line collapse; QB14-15 range.

Hurts has fallen to QB 14-15 range due to significant efficiency decline and loss of rushing upside; completing 57.8% of passes this season (49.3% last two weeks without Devontae Smith), averaging 6.2 yards per attempt (4.7 last two weeks), with only one rushing touchdown and 15.3 rushing yards per game since Week 1 (down from 46 in Week 1). The tush push is gone due to offensive line deterioration (Lane Johnson retired, Cam Jurgens traded, rookies starting), eliminating the 8-9 freebie touchdowns that previously supported his QB1 status. Without that rushing floor and with inefficient passing, he is not a top-10 quarterback.
