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.
@Chase_Senior I’m realizing there are fans of the EAGLES and Fans of Jalen and they exist in the same space smh because he played bad and it’s cool to admit that
@RealMamaEagle As Fans all we care about is WINS nothing else matter for real. Not there stats not there relationships with each other NOTHING ….WINS is why we watch
@derykt10 @BealBrad51 @RealMamaEagle I agree i think he does deserve the ball but it’s not like Jalen wasn’t making an effort to get him the ball. But what makes he feel he deserves it more than Smitty and Dotson smh
@phillyDUBn @1kalwaysopen_ I AGREE WITH YOU…..because you don’t see Smitty doing this or Dotson what makes you thing they don’t deserve the ball neither
