It took some time, but after months of speculation and weeks of training camp practices, Nick Sirianni took the time to officially announce Jalen Hurts as the starting quarterback in Philadelphia.
Sirianni referenced Hurts taking leadership responsibility this summer while doing what Eagles brass asked of him. The timeline fits Sirianni’s narrative of competition at every position and by dragging the process out, Hurts earned the respect of his teammates even more.
