“Inside Concerns”: Jalen Hurts’ leadership worries the Philadelphia Eagles – Report
We shall be straightforward but courteous of the news claiming that the Philadelphia Eagles are becoming “impatient” with quarterback Jalen Hurts’ “stoic” leadership style and are now harboring “internal concerns” about their $225 million focal point.
In three areas, we’ll be direct while still showing deference to the findings.
1. What we find most puzzling is not so much the report from The Philadelphia Inquirer as it is the contradictory nature of Hurts’ criticism of being “stoic.”
2. We argue that it is incorrect to try to “remake” Jalen Hurts’ personality. In our forty years of covering the NFL, we have seen players grow up. However, they aren’t “remade.”
Furthermore, are we advocating that Hurts, 25, a third-year standout, must “mature”?
3 – Hurts’ lack of speech is the most concerning indication of the Super Bowl team’s possible temporary collapse; after all, the Eagles are 10-4 and certain to win the NFC East and the No. 2 seed in the NFC Playoffs.
The reason is that his teammates have chosen to talk to the excellent writer Jeff McLane about personal matters, which really implies…
His teammates speak excessively.
We’ll be straightforward yet kind, but “Eagles leaders” who think otherwise aren’t really leading.
