I love Micah Parsons as a football player, GREAT player .. but I hate the way he handled interviewing that young wide out drafted to the eagles .. young man just happy to be drafted, that’s not the time to diss an organization .. bro not even a Cowboy anymore, it’s just lame

@avy3n@MostlyEagles He completely dismantled Spags pre snap in a Suoer Bowl, something Tom fkn Brady didn’t do, and they question his pre snap ability. I believe the kids would say, “tears”
Jalen Hurts is one of the most under-appreciated winners in the NFL and one of the most disrespected Super Bowl MVPs ever. The Jalen Hurts hit pieces are getting out of hand and ridiculous.
Eagles history explains why Jalen Hurts is judged unfairly
A lot of the discourse around Jalen Hurts only makes sense if you don’t actually know Eagles history.
If you do know it, the takes start sounding ridiculous.
Let’s start with something simple.
The list of successful Eagles quarterbacks is very short.
Pre–Super Bowl era:
Tommy Thompson
Three straight championship games. Two titles. (1948-1949)
Norm Van Brocklin
Won the 1960 championship. Beat Lombardi.
Super Bowl era:
Ron Jaworski
Brought relevance back. Super Bowl appearance.
Donovan McNabb
Five straight playoff appearances. Five NFC title games. Super Bowl appearance.
Nick Foles
Short run. Historic peak. Delivered the Lombardi. Super Bowl MVP.
Jalen Hurts
Two Super Bowl appearances. One ring. Super Bowl MVP. Five straight playoff seasons.
That’s the list.
That’s almost a century of football.
Now here’s where perception gets confused.
Randall Cunningham, Michael Vick, and Carson Wentz were all incredibly fun to watch. Electric. Explosive. Highlight machines.
But combined, the three of them produced one playoff win in Philadelphia.
That’s not an insult.
It’s context.
Eagles history has never rewarded “fun.”
It rewards January success.
Now contrast that with what people call “bad QB play” today.
Under 30 fans think bad means
Sub 200 yards
Not top five in fantasy
Too many checkdowns
Not enough highlights
That is not bad quarterback play.
That is discomfort with style.
Actual bad QB play in Philly looked like
Pat Ryan
Bobby Hoying
Mike McMahon
Third-and-six feeling impossible
Games over by halftime
Offenses that couldn’t function
That’s bad.
The reason Hurts is judged unfairly is simple. Fans under 30 only know the Eagles under Jeffrey Lurie.
They grew up with stability.
Playoff expectations.
Competence.
They didn’t live through chaos.
They didn’t live through QB roulette.
They didn’t live through years where relevance itself felt like success.
So when Hurts wins ugly, shrinks games, leans on defense, and still ends up in February, it feels wrong to them. It doesn’t match the aesthetic they expect.
But Eagles history doesn’t care about aesthetics.
It never has.
By historical standards, Hurts isn’t a debate case.
He’s already one of the most accomplished quarterbacks this franchise has ever had.
You don’t have to call him Mahomes.
You don’t have to say he’s perfect.
You just have to stop pretending Eagles history says he’s replaceable.
Because it doesn’t.
Howie Roseman needs to “Moneyball Carlos Pena” Nick Sirianni about Kevin Patullo.
Howie: Patullo isn’t calling plays next week.
Nick: yes he is.
Howie: I fired him this morning.
@FaZe_Rain I don’t think people are putting themselves in nordan’s shoes it’s hard to speak up about something when it’s someone you admired at one point. Obviously so different now.
