He has had his issues, holding on to the ball too long, not trusting himself to throw in tight windows... Much of the Eagles' 2026 success will rely on how well Hurts plays under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion—and how well he plays, if willing, under center.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Hurts' development limited by ball security and run usage; new OC Mannion expected to unlock upside.

The source notes Hurts' development has been hindered by holding the ball too long, not trusting tight windows, and limited designed run usage—either by his choice or coaching staff's decision to preserve him. The source highlights that the Eagles were one-dimensional last season with an ailing offensive line and conservative second-half approaches, yet still finished 11-6 and repeated as NFC East champions (first team to do so in 21 years). The source expects improvement under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and suggests Hurts' willingness to play under center will be key to the Eagles' 2026 success.
