I can almost hear the expletives. And the whizzing tomatoes as they fly past my head. Can feel the sheer rage and vitriol.

But given my choice of any of the young quarterbacks on this list to lead my team, the pick for this analyst remains Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Yes, the Eagles imploded down the stretch this season, culminating in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round. Hurts is as aware of that as anyone, but as he told reporters, where some see only disappointment, he also sees opportunity.

"We weren't able to do what we wanted to do in the end," he said. "But (where) we may see problems or issues, I see opportunity. There's a ton of opportunity in everything here and everyone views it that way. And so, it's my job in embracing those responsibilities and growing from it, growing from everything.

"Winning is what matters (and) I feel like we left a lot of opportunity out there. It's about winning, you know. And I think that mentality was born because of everything that I have gone through, everything that I have seen. And I want to navigate that in the best way to affect those around me so we all can win. That's the name of the game. That's why we do what we do."

Is part of that collapse on Hurts? Sure. But let's not pretend he was terrible in 2023.

Not that long ago, Hurts was the favorite to be named the NFL's MVP. His 38 combined touchdowns in 2023 were an Eagles record and tied for the NFC lead. His 15 interceptions are a legitimate concern, but Hurts threw only six picks a year ago. He's a true dual-threat quarterback. He's won two NFL starts for every one he's lost.

Oh, and he very nearly won the Super Bowl last year.

Breathe, Philly fans. Fire some assistants. Get that nervous energy out. And be thankful Jalen Hurts is your starting quarterback.
