QB Room: If the Eagles implode again, they can thank the latest self-inflicted nonsense pointed at Jalen Hurts

Two months ago, Jalen Hurts was a turnover problem.

Two months later — turnover problems resolved — he’s a passing problem.

And two months from now, if the Philadelphia Eagles haven’t won February’s Super Bowl, Hurts might end up being scapegoated as the root cause of all the franchise's problems.

That’s how the trajectory of Hurts’ career is starting to feel — like an exit-less maze of quarterback cannibalism, devoured by the fan base, hot-take media talk shows and his own teammates.

I don’t know how else to explain what has unfolded since Sunday, when the 11-2 Eagles — winners of nine straight — somehow went from impressive consecutive wins over the Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens, to being discussed as a flawed offensive team after a struggle-bus victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
