The Finger Fiasco
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
Remember that gruesome dislocated finger Hurts sported in the season finale against the Giants? Yeah, that wasn't exactly ideal. It turns out throwing a football with a finger that looks like it auditioned for a horror movie is, shocker, pretty difficult. There's been a lot of mystery around how well it's healed, leaving Philly fans more on edge than a cheese steak with extra whiz on a wobbly table.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Is He "The Guy" or Just a Guy?
Hurts' performance has been a rollercoaster. He led the Eagles to a phenomenal season, even earning a Pro Bowl nod. But here's the rub: some critics say he needs to take his game to the next level, especially in the passing department. The Eagles even brought in some offensive firepower with the trade for A.J. Brown, but will Hurts be able to fully utilize it? Only time (and maybe some deep throws) will tell.

There have also been whispers about Hurts' leadership and his relationship with Coach Sirianni. Did his comments about the offensive scheme create a rift? Is he a stoic leader or just, well, stoic? The Philly media, known for its subtlety like a Rocky montage, has been having a field day with this.
So, What's the Verdict?
The truth is, nobody outside the NovaCare Complex knows for sure. But hey, that's what makes the NFL offseason fun, right? Will Hurts silence the doubters and lead the Eagles to the promised land? Will his finger hold up? Only one thing's for certain: Philly fans will be watching with a whole lot of interest (and maybe a touch of Tastykakes-fueled anxiety).
