Jalen Hurts’ poor practice performance highlights risk of Eagles regression in 2022 - Inquirer
From Week 8 on last season, only three quarterbacks in the NFL had a lower passer rating than Hurts’ 79.8 (minimum 200 attempts). They were Zach Wilson, Baker Mayfield, and Trevor Lawrence. Among 26 quarterbacks, he ranked 23rd in interception percentage, 23rd in completion percentage, 24th in touchdown passes. All of these numbers represent a significant regression from those he posted in the first seven weeks of the season. This proves nothing, of course. Mostly, it’s a reason to question the notion that Hurts is bound to take “another step forward” this year.
