Philadelphia: So, have you heard about Doug Nussmeier? He’s the Eagles’ quarterbacks coach, and he’s really making a name for himself this season. It’s pretty wild how he’s managed to get three different quarterbacks ready to play at such a high level. That’s not something you see every day!
It’s actually the first time in Eagles history that three QBs have each had a game with a passer rating over 100 in the same season. Jalen Hurts was on fire before his injury, and then Kenny Pickett stepped in and scored 26 points in one game. And let’s not forget Tanner McKee, who threw four touchdowns in just five quarters. Nussmeier deserves a ton of credit for this!
Now, if Kellen Moore gets a head coaching gig, that could shake things up. Hurts has had to adapt to a new play caller almost every year, and it’s tough for him to keep learning new systems. It’s a lot to handle, especially when you think about how well he and Moore started to click after the bye week.
And speaking of the Eagles’ history, remember that epic 4th and 26 play against the Packers? It’s one of those moments that every fan remembers. Donovan McNabb’s pass to Freddie Mitchell was just incredible. It’s moments like that that make being an Eagles fan so special.
But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith have been dealing with injuries, and that’s a bit concerning. Hurts has relied heavily on them this season, so if they’re not at 100%, it could really hurt the offense.
As we head into the playoffs, it’s interesting to see how experienced Hurts is for his age. He’s only 26 but has already played in five playoff games. That’s pretty impressive! He’s got a solid track record, and I think he’ll be just fine when the pressure’s on.
And let’s not forget about the past. Michael Vick’s infamous pass to Riley Cooper in the 2010 wild-card game still gets talked about. It was a risky throw that didn’t make sense at the time, and it still doesn’t. Sometimes, you just have to play it safe!
Overall, it’s a thrilling time to be an Eagles fan. With Nussmeier’s coaching and Hurts’ experience, who knows what’s in store for the playoffs? Let’s keep our fingers crossed!
