The Philadelphia Eagles have faced rare consecutive losses and allowed the Dallas Cowboys to join them atop the NFC East. Still, Jalen Hurts and the Eagles maintain control of the division. The Eagles, with a 10-3 record, experienced a setback with a 33-13 loss to Dallas on Sunday night. This reveals that they are far from being a dominant team in the league.

Moreover, just like the Eagles, Jalen Hurts is also dealing with his critics, as an analyst has advised the team to bench their star quarterback. So, while Hurts is riding through all the criticism and backlash, he recently delivered a strong message that showcased his mentality to guide his team to victory against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jalen Hurts talks about his unwavering mindset

In a recent media conference, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts looked back at his recent loss against the Dallas Cowboys. At the same time, he devised ways to grab a victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Amidst that, one of the reporters asked him about his habit of being overly critical of himself. The reporter remarked, “On the fumble, Jordan was kind of consoling you, but you looked inconsolable at that time.“

So, after this, he was asked whether he felt he was being overly critical or not. Hurts replied, “No, I think you have to be your biggest critic and I’ve always been that, and that won’t change.” Following their matchup with the Seahawks, the Philadelphia Eagles are poised for two crucial games against the New York Giants, first at home and then on the road in the regular-season finale.

With NFL’s Verdict Pending, Analyst Makes a Strong Case for Not Banning Eagles’ Brotherly Shove

Sandwiched between these NFC East encounters is the Eagles’ home finale against the Arizona Cardinals. However, analyst David Carr believes that for these next games, Jalen Hurts should take a rest and give Marcus Mariota a chance.

David Carr advises the Eagles’ QB to be ‘benched’

On the recent Tuesday episode of ‘NFL Total Access,’ David Carr shared his perspective on the decision to bench the Eagles’ QB. According to Carr, Jalen Hurts might not be operating at his full potential, as evidenced in the last game. Carr raised concerns about the possibility that Hurts may not have fully recovered from his knee injury. Suggesting an alternative approach, David Carr proposed the idea of starting Marcus Mariota in the upcoming game for the Eagles.

Carr said, “I’d say he’s probably better at playing quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Right now, he’d be more productive. Jalen isn’t comfortable reading through a defense in a drop-back pass scenario. Some would say he’s not even good at it.” Then he also predicted that the Eagles might have a fear of losing with their backup quarterback.
