The idea that Jalen Hurts was holding this offense back, and that everything would look dramatically different with a quarterback who preferred playing under center and throwing over the middle, should be finished by now. Tanner McKee hasn't transformed anything. It's the same offense, with the same limitations, and very little downfield passing game.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Hurts wasn't the offensive bottleneck; McKee's arrival proves scheme/coaching issues persist.

The source argues that the narrative blaming Hurts for offensive limitations should be finished. With Tanner McKee replacing Hurts, the Eagles' offense shows the same limitations and very little downfield passing game, producing 268 yards at 3.9 yards per play. The source states: "The idea that Jalen Hurts was holding this offense back, and that everything would look dramatically different with a quarterback who preferred playing under center and throwing over the middle, should be finished by now." This directly refutes the premise that a QB change would solve systemic offensive problems.
