I'm not sure why people want to play the Eagles. They are the only other team in the NFC that plays in similar and or worse weather with a quarterback that leads the league in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing touchdowns.

Usually, teams that have QBs that lead the league in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing TDs do so because the QB isn't very good at throwing the ball. Jalen Hurts is the same guy as Vince Young, Taysom Hill, etc.

Sometimes running QBs can be good long term, but it's usually because they develop as pocket passers or at least can threaten defense deep because they have a big arm. Steve Young, Lamar Jackson, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, and Kyler Murray come to mind. Young is on another level than the other 4, but those other guys could be effective because they can throw deep. Hurts is never going to be able to do that. When he was at Bama, his WRs were Jerry Jeudy, Davonta Smith, Henry Ruggs, and Jaylen Waddle and when Georgia stopped the run in the title game Saban had to bring in Tua at halftime.
