Dear Braden Smith, Fletcher Loyer, and Trey Kaufman-Renn,
Thank you for an incredible four years of college basketball.
What you stand for and represent will never be taken for granted.
Walk proud.
Today.
Tomorrow.
And Forever.

Calling Jalen Hurts a bad QB isn’t just wrong, it’s ahistorical.
Let’s remove all opinion and just deal in facts:
Second-highest career passer rating in Eagles history
Highest completion percentage in Eagles history
Second-most playoff wins by any Eagles QB
Two NFC titles
A Super Bowl ring
Quarterbacks who “can’t throw,” “can’t read defenses,” or are “decision-making disasters” do not get there. Ever. Not by accident. Not by being carried. Not in this city.
And the Trent Dilfer comparison is where the argument completely collapses.
I watched Trent Dilfer play too. Dilfer had a career passer rating of 72, was turnover-prone, and won because he was asked to not lose the game behind an all-time defense. Dilfer was replaced by two teams with Brad Johnson and Elvis Grbac. He was a passenger.
Hurts has:
Been the engine of the offense
Won shootouts
Won ugly
Won in January
Performed on the Super Bowl stage
Those are not Dilfer traits.
You can say Hurts hasn’t matched his 2022 peak yet. That’s fair.
You can say the offense stagnated and the coaching churn hurt him. Also fair.
But calling him “bad” or “washed” or “peaked” is just people confusing expectation frustration with player quality.
Philly fans used to know the difference because we lived through actual bad QB play. Anyone who thinks Hurts fits that description should seriously go back and watch full games from the Kotite and Rhodes years.
Criticism is fine.
Debate is fine.
But the takes out there aren’t analysis, they’re abysmal.
@SchutteDustin I am so fucking done. I’ve been a student here for almost 3 years I I graduate in the spring of 2027. I’ve been into every home game since I’ve been a freshman, I been to the away two games and this is the best we can come up with. #FireBobinski#FireGrimes.
The two things I am never going to understand this off-season is how did the NFL teams let the Eagles get Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the same draft class and also get Saquon Barkley from the Giants.

Anthony Richardson needs some fucking help. One of the many examples that says stats don’t tell the story. Dude need some fucking help with his supporting cast. #Colts#LionsvsColts

@TheMW2Ghost Extremely Overhated COD. It was my first ever COD Game and I enjoyed it so much. Multiplayer is fun and frustrating at some points. Most of weapons are balanced.
