Saying Jalen Hurts was a shell of himself last year, without any context is so stupid.
The OC was horrendous, the OL was so injured 3/5 barely could move, AJ quit on the team, Saquon was pressing.
Everybody were a shell of themselves in that situation.

"Jalen Hurts won't be an NFL qb"
"Jalen Hurts won't be an NFL starting QB"
"Jalen Hurts will never be a starter on a playoff team"
"Jalen Hurts will never lead team to Super Bowl"
"Jalen Hurts will never win a Super Bowl"
"Jalen Hurts will never win another Super Bowl"
The Eagles can say that Makai Lemon’s hamstring injury isn’t a long-term concern but when a player has missed time across several months due to an injury…it’s a long-term concern.
Carter has seen hit pieces come out about him and questions about his character and effort. He gets his deal that he deserved and thanked media members for putting out good information about him, calls you FAMILY, and this is what you do?
Is there a level you won’t stoop to?
This is an odd stance to take, in my opinion.
I understand that the media is supposed to be unbiased and strictly report the facts.
But I also believe that there’s a middle ground where they can celebrate a player when they achieve a milestone or accomplish something, both on or off the field.
In a sports media world (and world, in general) that’s incredibly divisive right now, I thought it was refreshing to hear Jalen Carter let down his guard a little bit and thank the media.
Maybe I’m in the minority and that’s why I may be considered an independent journalist that may not be able to receive media credentials.
But if that’s the result of being able to be happy for a player when they deserve it or to be critical of a player when they deserve it, so be it.
You know how many balls were seemingly just out of reach for AJ brown last year but you wished he put in a little bit more effort?
Glad to see our WR5 actually cares to give it his all in practice let alone a game.
Howie Roseman on keeping the young defense together: "I would say to our fans, if you're wearing a jersey with some of those guys with those names on the back, we fully intend for those guys to be here on the long term."

I shouldn’t respond to this but I’ll give in…
Only two QBs have scored more total touchdowns than Jalen Hurts has since he became a full-time starting QB in 2021:
- Josh Allen
- Patrick Mahomes
That’s it! That’s the entire list.
Since 2021, Hurts has 59 total turnovers. Which is nine less than Mahomes and 21 less than Allen.
But go ahead and continue with the nonsensical Trent Dilfer comparison, if you’d like to.
