Orlovsky said that Jalen Hurts’ performance in the second half is the reason he’s a top-five quarterback
Before the 2025 NFL season started, there was a lot of talk about Jalen Hurts’ ability as a pure quarterback, and whether he belonged in the top 10 conversation amongst his peers.
To many, that seemed like a wild debate to have because he’s the reigning Super Bowl MVP, and just helped his team to secure the win in that Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Cam Newton called him a game manager, and Colin Cowherd ranked him ninth in his preseason top ten, behind the quarterback he just beat, Matthew Stafford, who was ranked sixth.
On Sunday, Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown guided the Philadelphia Eagles back into a game that they seemingly had no business being competitive in.
At halftime, the Eagles had just 34 yards of total offense. AJ Brown didn’t have a single catch, and their offense had failed to get Saquon Barkley and the run game going too.
