Eagles’ Dallas Goedert: Jalen Hurts is top-two quarterback in NFL
Obviously, Goedert has a bias, putting Hurts above quarterbacks like Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Jackson, Aaron Rodgers and others. But the TE is correct. You could poll 20 people, asking, “Who are the top 10 NFL QBs?” and get 20 different answers from 2-9. In that context, it makes sense for Goedert to back his guy. Why wouldn’t he?
The Eagles are currently paying Hurts like a top-two quarterback, and they believe the 24-year-old is still developing. With a stellar cast around him and a grinder mentality, even if Hurts isn’t a top-two QB right now, he has the talent and drive to get there.
