Even with his continued progression, critics and pundits still believe the Eagles quarterback needs to prove that he can win games as a passer.
Hurts has improved leaps and bounds each season, and he’s now one of the more accurate quarterbacks in the NFL.
The pundits like Nick Wright make jokes and negative comments, but Hurts may be the best pure passer in the NFL during tight situations.
According to Dave Spadaro, 22 NFL quarterbacks dropped back 250+ times last season, and if you take out the play-action passes, screens, and RPOs, none of those qualifying quarterbacks had a better passer rating than Hurts (96.3).
During a recent training camp practice, the 2023 MVP candidate displayed his pinpoint accuracy.
