Crazy Eagles QB Plan Would Replace Jalen Hurts, but It's Very Unlikely

I still don't think it's crazy to say that the Philadelphia Eagles could move on from Jalen Hurts, but I just don't see an avenue where it makes too much sense, unless Howie Roseman has something else up his sleeve to get a quarterback who he can guarantee is that much better than Hurts. 

Remember, while the idea of moving on from Hurts might not be the worst one, the Eagles are built to win a Super Bowl, so not having him on the roster would take this team from Super Bowl contenders to a big question mark.

If the Eagles could somehow make a massive deal to land a player who could come in and make a major impact, I can understand why some would want to do it. 

However, I don't think it's as realistic as some seem, especially the latest idea, which would be to go out and land Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens.

“The Eagles unquestionably are…willing to do things perhaps some other regimes might view as overly aggressive or cutthroat to accomplish it,” Jason La Canfora wrote. “While Hurts has delivered repeatedly in some huge playoff spots, including a Super Bowl, the offense has also oscillated wildly in other years, and Hurts has been unwilling to make big-time throws and push the ball into traffic, which has compounded some locker room issues.

“It’s led to a strong sense around the league that, as difficult as it can be to find a caliber of quarterback who can win big in the postseason, the Eagles will be willing to do whatever is possible if need be. There is a chance that a two-time MVP like Lamar Jackson becomes available in trade, and the 2027 quarterback draft class is earning strong early reviews, too.”

I'll never say never in the NFL, and I've said that plenty of times before. However, I don't see a scenario in which it makes a whole lot of sense for the Ravens to move on from Jackson, even if they don't play well this year with a new head coach for the first time in a very long time.

Now, that isn't to say that if he becomes available, the Eagles shouldn't be interested, but a lot has to happen before that's the case.
