The Philadelphia Eagles currently hold an 8-2 record after the first 11 weeks of the 2025 NFL season, positioning themselves for a potential playoff run and a chance to reach the Super Bowl for the second year in a row. However, internal issues may be brewing within the organization, as recent reports have surfaced regarding player frustrations aimed at quarterback Jalen Hurts.
According to a weekend report by The Athletic“s Dianna Russini, several offensive players have expressed dissatisfaction with Hurts” performance this season. This sentiment was echoed by Eagles insider Derrick Gunn during a recent episode of The Seth Joyner Show, where he revealed that some players are unhappy with how Hurts has been managing the offense.
Gunn”s comments have attracted attention, particularly given the ongoing discontent from wide receiver A.J. Brown, who has been vocal about the team”s offensive struggles. In a notable incident during Week 10, wide receiver DeVonta Smith was caught on camera expressing his frustration, urging Hurts to “Just throw the f**king ball, man!” while facing the Green Bay Packers.
While Hurts is recognized as the key player driving the Eagles” offense, the inconsistency displayed in recent games has led to increased scrutiny. Despite the team”s success, critics point to Hurts” performance in critical matchups, particularly against the Detroit Lions and the Packers, where he completed less than 58 percent of his passes.
On Monday, Jordan Mailata, an offensive tackle for the Eagles, addressed the concerns raised by Gunn on 94 WIP-FM”s Jordan Mailata Show. While he did not dispute the frustrations mentioned, Mailata argued that it would be unjust to place the blame for the offensive struggles solely on Hurts.
The dialogue surrounding Jalen Hurts and the Eagles” offensive performance is expected to continue as the team seeks solutions to improve a unit that is currently faltering in both passing and rushing statistics.
