Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was not named one of the 10-best NFL quarterbacks by ESPN's panel of experts. The WIP Midday Show debates if Hurts's struggles at the end of 2023 warrant this rating or if he's due for a big bounce-back in 2024.

00:00Today is that executives, coaches, scouts rank the NFL's top 10 quarterbacks for 2024.
00:07And my first thought is, all right, last year, Jalen Hurts was ranked number six. He was the
00:11top six quarterback in the NFL last year. Did he fall? How far did he fall? And what happened
00:17with Jalen Hurts? Well, Hugh Douglas, I went on this morning early and I got ourselves a list.
00:22So here it is, ESPN, their rankings. Again, this is scouts, coaches, executives, people inside the
00:27NFL. Here's how they view the Eagles franchise quarterback. I'm going to give you the list and
00:32then we'll react. Number one, this one's easy, Patrick Mahomes. Number two, Joe Burrow. Number
00:37three, Josh Allen. Number four, Lamar Jackson. Number five, Matthew Stafford. Number six,
00:46Justin Herbert. Number seven, CJ Stroud. Number eight, Aaron Rodgers. Number nine, Jared Goff.
00:55Number 10, Dakota Prescott. That means Jalen Hurts is not ranked as one of the 10 best quarterbacks
01:02in the NFL. He is in the honorable mention section. All right, so the honorable mentions,
01:06and again, this is in order, so we could count if you want. Brock Purdy was the first honorable
01:11mention, making him number 11. Jordan Love, the second honorable mention, making him number 12.
01:16And coming in as the third honorable mention, number 13, Jalen Hurts. Hugh Douglas, your
01:23reaction to the ESPN ranking of the top 10 quarterbacks where Jalen is not one of them?
01:29This list to me is already questionable because you got Aaron Rodgers at number eight. Didn't
01:34Aaron Rodgers just leave his team hanging because he went to go get high in another country?
01:39I think he was in Egypt, yeah.
01:40Yeah, he went somewhere to get high in another country. Matthew Stafford, a little bit older.
01:46I don't mind C.J. Stroud. Dakota, as much as I hate to admit it, I mean, he balled out last year.
01:55He's a cowboy. He balled out, but he falls short in the playoffs. Joe Burrow was hurt.
02:00So those three names right there alone have me, well, two, have me questioning this list a little
02:06bit. I don't have a problem with Jared Goff being at number nine. C.J. Stroud, he about where he
02:12should be. Justin Herbert, though, seriously, Justin Herbert, what did he do? What did he do
02:19last year?
02:19Nothing, he got hurt.
02:20See, now that's questionable. Matthew Stafford, again, like I said, Lamar Jackson don't have a
02:25problem with that. Josh Allen. So I question this list. And with those three omissions right there,
02:33to me, that puts Jalen Hurts somewhere on this list. So yeah, I have questions about this.
02:37So you'd put him as a top 10 guy?
02:39I'd put him as a top 10.
