Jalen Hurts continues to be a dual-threat quarterback, and Saquon Barkley was the best free-agent signing of the 2024 offseason. But there have also been times when the team was shrouded in drama between teammates.

One of the most memorable moments from the Eagles' win over Jordan Love and Co. didn't happen on the field, but rather on the bench when star wide receiver A.J. Brown was seen reading a book, which took social media by storm.

On the latest episode of the “Scoop City” podcast, we touched on a point that Chase has been making for a while now: Jalen Hurts might be a good quarterback, but he isn’t throwing like one right now. The partial transcript below has been edited for clarity. The full episode is available now in The “Scoop City” podcast feed.

Despite Brown's absence, he's trending toward playing in Sunday’s playoff opener against the Green Bay Packers. So is Hurts, who still needs to clear concussion protocol.

Since first landing on the injury report, Brown had 8 catches for 97 yards and a touchdown against the Commanders and 3 catches for 36 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys. He and many starters rested in the regular season finale against the Giants.

Jalen Hurts knows the numbers everyone talks about: 131 passing yards, 5.3 yards per attempt, 21 attempts, six passing first downs, seven attempts over 10+ air yards, one attempt over 25+ air yards. He's not oblivious.

His struggles were amplified by pressure as the Packers began putting extra defenders up to the line of scrimmage to stress the Eagles’ protection plans. According to Pro Football Focus, Hurts was 2-for-8 for 19 yards when pressured and had a passer rating of just 39.6.
