Jaworski: 'Disappointed' in Hurts' response to Sirianni question

Former Philadelphia Eagles legendary quarterback Ron Jaworski admits he was "disappointed" in Jalen Hurts' recent response to a Nick Sirianni question and that the Eagles' franchise QB needs to improve his leadership skills.

"Honestly, I was disappointed," Jaworski told Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie on Tuesday's 94WIP Morning Show. "I am a great fan in Jalen Hurts and his ability, but I think one thing he's got to get better at is his leadership skills and his ability to communicate his leadership skills. I thought that was a great opportune time to say, 'Hey, we made changes in the offseason. Man, I'm excited for Nick Sirianni, I'm great to have Kellen [Moore] in here, we made a lot of changes. Man, I am fired up about this team!' To show excitement, to show passion...He did not come across that way. It was delivery more than what he said, anything else.

"I would have shown excitement at the point. That last year is history, I've learned from last year and man you'll now see a changed Jalen Hurts. I did not see that change. I saw that kind of quiet demeanor that he normally shows...I know who Jalen is, I know he is a terrific athlete and a terrific person. But as a leader of a football team, I think he needs to take it up a notch with his enthusiasm and passion for his teammates and coaching staff."

During the Eagles' OTAs, Hurts was asked about Sirianni being open minded to change bringing in a new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and giving up control of the offense.

"Umm, it's a great question," Hurts replied. "I don't know that I know the answer to it."

The reporter followed up, asking Hurts what he has seen from Sirianni.

Umm, I think he's been great in the message he has been delivering to the team. Trying to be very intentional of what he is saying."

The quote became quite controversial and the Eagles' organization was reportedly upset with the way Hurts handled the question.
