Who Should I Start? Jalen Hurts or Will Levis

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 season with his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. When it's worked out, as with Kellen Moore and Shane Steichen, the Eagles have played for Super Bowls, and Hurts has been an MVP contender. When it goes south, as was the case last season with Kevin Patullo, fingers are quick to be pointed, and there are reportedly some in the building who lay responsibility for the team's offensive struggles in 2025 at the feet of Hurts. The former second-round pick has three years remaining on his current deal, with $22 million guaranteed for 2027, but one needs to look no further back than 2020 for an example of the team moving on from a quarterback shortly after agreeing to a big-money extension. In that situation, it was Hurts taking the starting job from Carson Wentz before the former second overall pick was traded away with three years remaining on his second contract. By all accounts, Hurts has been receptive to the constant change around him, but if Philadelphia's offensive struggles continue under new coordinator Sean Mannion, the next change could very well include him.
