It’s already been an ugly offseason for the Philadelphia Eagles, but things are taking a major turn as it’s been reported that quarterback Jalen Hurts is uncoachable. Hurts is coming off a rough 2025 campaign despite helping the team reach the wild-card round before dropping to the San Francisco 49ers, 23-19. However, a bombshell report came out that Hurts has “poor body language” and does not always buy into other ideas. It stems from the last play during the wild-card loss to the 49ers, where the Eagles ran a four verts play on fourth down, which ultimately ended Philadelphia’s season.
Unfortunately for the team, no one took responsibility, and it was mainly “pointing fingers.” With Kevin Patullo gone, it’s something to watch this upcoming season if Hurts continues to struggle. Originally selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the former Super Bowl champion is still one of the most accomplished starters in the league. If the team and Hurts can’t stay on the same page, it might be time to move on.
Some notes from @JFowlerESPN’s article on Jalen Hurts:
– pushed back on changes that would diversify the scheme,
– wanted to avoid playing under center
– reluctant to let it rip at times, particularly against zone coverage
– poor body language, not always bought in
– not… pic.twitter.com/MikMOQhjIc

Exploding Report Claims Pro Bowl QB Jalen Hurts is “Uncoachable” – May Lead to Shocking Trade
However, no one should anticipate a trade until after the 2026 season. The Eagles still have WR AJ Brown to worry about this offseason, so the last thing the team wants is Hurts to be under hot water. Based on more details in the report, if Hurts truly is the issue, it’s something to keep an eye on. A source told ESPN that Hurts changes plays and isn’t open to executing on the team’s offensive vision.
Could that be why former Eagles offensive coordinator and head coach of the New Orleans Saints, Kellen Moore, ultimately moved? It might be.
The Final Standoff
The team fired Patullo after an unsuccessful run as offensive coordinator in one season. If new coordinator Sean Mannion can’t get Hurts to his best self, then it might be time for the Eagles to talk about the future of their quarterback room. It might be Hurts that could be the problem, but it’s still shocking to dissect.
Hurts has been fortunate to have one of the best defenses in several seasons, but after losing pass-rusher Jaelan Phillips, it might become difficult. Unless the Eagles trade for another defender, Hurts could be on his own to get this team in proper form to get in the endzone. For now, Hurts is safe after trading for Andy Dalton as their bridge, but they should probably keep Tanner McKee in the fold if issues continue to mount.
