Realistically the Eagles were right to pay Hurts. Had he not missed a few games late last season then he had an excellent chance of winning MVP and bar one error of dropping the ball which has happened to great quarterbacks in the past - he was fantastic in the Superbowl to prove his worth. When a solid backup like Minshew went in the Eagles weren't the same team. It wasn't a case of being 4-1 with the back up (practice squad) QB but looking a far weaker team and not being a contender without him starting. Further evidence to rubber stamp any doubts.
Prescott will likely receive a similar contract or even more money - food for thought and a reality check for anyone feeling positive about the Cowboys.
