If Hurts can channel some of that quarterbacking he showcased in 2021 and 2022, the Eagles should be able to easily transition to a more complex passing offense...new offensive quarterback Sean Mannion is likely to bring some of that McVay/Shannahan spice with him to Philadelphia. Expect more motion, more plays where Hurts is under center, and a lot more passing down the middle of the field

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hurts expected to flourish in Mannion's complex McVay-style offense.

Hurts is the source's favorite player and is expected to flourish under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's McVay/Shanahan-influenced scheme that will feature more motion, more under-center plays, and more passing down the middle; the source believes Hurts can channel his 2021-2022 quarterbacking to lead the Eagles to Super Bowl contention, though critics worry he won't handle the additional offensive complexity well; Hurts passed for only 3,224 yards in 2025 despite a fantastic offensive line and multiple good receivers and running backs.
