Hurts enters 2026 looking to bounce back from an inconsistent 2025, now working with his fifth offensive coordinator in five seasons in Sean Mannion. Mannion is expected to open up a passing game that ran the league's lowest rate of throws over the middle of the field and one of the lowest under-center rates in football a season ago, which could mean real growth for Hurts as a pure passer in 2026.NegativeBustSep 6, 2026

His elevated turnover numbers reflect intentional testing of tight throwing windows between the numbers rather than playing it safe; Mannion's system demands anticipation over confirmation, and Hurts is actively working through those reads. Neither head coach Nick Sirianni nor the offensive staff appears concerned that these August growing pains will linger into the regular season.NegativeProjectionAug 18, 2026
