As the dust settles on the 2025 NFL season and most teams shift into offseason mode, Pro Football Focus has rolled out its latest quarterback room rankings-and the Philadelphia Eagles land at No. 24.
That might raise some eyebrows, especially considering the stability they have at the top with Jalen Hurts. But dig a little deeper, and it's clear this ranking isn't a knock on Hurts himself-it's more a reflection of the overall depth and uncertainty behind him.
Jalen Hurts: Still the Guy in Philly
Let’s start with the obvious: Jalen Hurts is still the engine of this offense. He’s not just a franchise quarterback-he’s a Super Bowl winner who’s steered this team to two appearances on the game’s biggest stage.
His 88.4 PFF grade over the past three seasons ranks 12th among all quarterbacks, a testament to his consistent high-level play even amid constant change. And when we say constant change, we’re talking about six offensive coordinators in six seasons.
That’s a revolving door most QBs wouldn’t survive, let alone thrive in.
Sure, 2025 wasn’t spotless. That five-turnover game against the Chargers looms large, and there were moments-like those two second halves without a completed pass-where the offense looked out of sync.
But those were the exceptions, not the rule. Hurts delivered more good than bad, and the Eagles still found ways to win.
That’s not luck-that’s leadership.
The organization clearly still believes in him. Head coach Nick Sirianni made a bold move by parting ways with his longtime confidant Kevin Patullo, a decision aimed at finding the right offensive mind to unlock even more from Hurts. That’s not a panic move-it’s a commitment to building around their franchise quarterback.
Tanner McKee: Reliable When Called Upon
Behind Hurts, Tanner McKee is entering the final year of his rookie deal. While his opportunities have been limited, he’s shown flashes of being more than just a clipboard holder.
In fact, some fans argued he deserved more snaps last season, especially when the offense hit rough patches. McKee’s poise and efficiency in spot duty give the Eagles a solid QB2 option, and that’s not something every team can say.
Depth Still a Question Mark
Beyond Hurts and McKee, though, things get murky. Last year saw a rotating cast of backups-Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Kyle McCord, and eventually Sam Howell, who stepped in after McKee went down with an injury.
Howell is now a free agent, DTR has been released, and McCord has signed a futures deal with the Packers. That leaves the Eagles thin at QB3.
Expect Philly to address that spot in the coming months. Whether it’s a late-round flyer in the 2026 NFL Draft or a low-cost veteran like Jeff Driskel or Desmond Ridder, the Eagles will want someone who can step in if needed without breaking the bank. It’s not glamorous, but it’s smart roster building-especially with a starter you’re planning to keep upright and healthy for the long haul.
Stability at the Top
Let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture here. Hurts is under contract for three more seasons, and he’s already delivered the kind of success most franchises spend decades chasing.
His 63-29 record (playoffs included) speaks for itself. The Eagles have their guy, and that alone puts them ahead of plenty of teams still searching for answers under center.
So while PFF’s ranking of the Eagles’ QB room at No. 24 might seem low at first glance, it’s not a reflection of panic-it’s a reminder that depth matters, especially in a league where one play can change everything. But with Hurts leading the way, and McKee providing a capable backup, the Eagles are in a better spot than most. The challenge now is rounding out that room with a third option who can keep the train on the tracks if called upon.
In a league defined by quarterback play, Philadelphia isn’t scrambling-they’re fine-tuning. And with Hurts at the helm, they’ve got a steady hand guiding the ship.
