Nick Sirianni: Too early to say if Jalen Hurts will be Eagles’ starting quarterback

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is not ready to hand the starting quarterback job to Jalen Hurts just yet.

Although Hurts is the presumptive starter after he started at the end of last season and Carson Wentz was traded to the Colts, Sirianni said he wants to see competition at every position.

“To name a starter at this particular time . . . we’ve been working with these guys for two days,” Sirianni said of the offseason program that just began Monday.

The only other quarterback currently on the roster is Joe Flacco, so it certainly wouldn’t be much of a competition right now. Barring the Eagles shocking everyone and drafting a quarterback in the first round next week, Hurts would appear to be the overwhelming favorite. But Sirianni wants to take his time before making that official.

  1. This team has no idea what they are doing. The only thing they appear to be great at is destroying the moral of their coaches (Pederson) and players (particularly their QB’s). Nothing wrong with drafting a QB in an early round and actually committing to both him and your own decisions.

  2. Seems the Eagles painted themselves into a corner with Hurts two losing seasons from now
    they will be dumping this guy there is something about him as a person that’s poision .

  3. Not for nothing, but what has Jalen Hurts body of work shown that would make him an “overwhelming favorite” to start in front of Joe Flacco ?

  4. Lol at all these negative comments and predictions. I’m sure all of you predicted the eagles championship run in 2017 as well, right?

  5. It’s not too early to say Nick will be thrown under the bus by Howie when convenient.

    Just a matter of when not if, welcome to Philadelphia.

  6. I was a big fan of him in college but I just can’t see anything from him last year that screams starter
