From the episode

I have doubts about the quality of the passing game and the consistency of the passing game. Point blank, period. The environment is worse now than it was then.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Hurts faces questions about passing consistency with a diminished supporting cast.

The source expresses significant doubt regarding the consistency and quality of the Eagles' passing game under Jalen Hurts. They argue that the team's previous success was highly specific to an elite running game and that the current supporting cast is worse, making it difficult to replicate that success without a more consistent passing attack.
