NFL QB power rankings no 18: Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Pick Analysis. Scouting Report. . Jalen Hurts. 18. player. 54. Philadelphia Eagles

We saw Jalen Hurts take a big step forward this past season and help get the Philadelphia Eagles into the playoffs.

One of the better dual-threat QBs in the league, Hurts and Philadelphia had multiple games last season where they proved they could win with a variety of different offensive attacks.

Somewhat by design, Hurts didn’t throw for over 300 yards at any point after Week 4 last season, but his 26 total rushing touchdowns and the Eagles’ excellent team ball over the second half of the season led to better success than most expected from them.

Can Hurts take a leap forward as a passer in 2022? That could vault him into the top 10 on this list.

NFL QB power rankings no. 17: Mac Jones, New England Patriots

Mac Jones was pretty much exactly as advertised with the Patriots in 2021 as a rookie.

He was the best rookie quarterback in the NFL last season, and it doesn’t really matter if you want to argue about that being simply circumstantial.

Jones had some huge games individually as well as working as more of a distributing point guard, and he deserves credit for coming into the NFL and completing nearly 68 percent of his passes for over 3,800 yards and 22 touchdowns.

What does Jones have to do to shed the “game manager” label? Even if he can’t shed the label, there’s nothing wrong with being exactly that in the Patriots’ offense.

The bigger and more important question is — who in the world is calling plays for Jones in 2022?
