I think (a) he seems like a great guy, so only criticism is about his play and (b) I think when you have 2 great receivers and a great RB and we’re playing a try-not-to-lose style on offense it just becomes frustrating to watch, regardless of the W/L record. And despite the OC issues and playcalling, it’s hard not to put some of that blame on Hurts at this point in his career—righty or wrongly.
Totally I think that’s fair! Hurts deserves a share of the blame for how the offense has stagnated. But it’s also on Nick Sirianni and the Eagles to push him and provide a sound system with rigid expectations. That’s what coaching is for. When that happens, Hurts tends to play well. This season will really be a test for him and reveal a lot about his capacity to do the things he’s uncomfortable doing.
I don't even follow the Eagles to this degree but I have been following this Jalen Hurts media drag. It's really unfair to a guy who has dealt with such constant change at coaching. He's outlasted most of his offensive play callers, so forgive him for picking what he knows works for him. It's hard to establish trust with that much turnover.
As an introvert myself, staying in the hotel by yourself makes sense. The amount a QB has to put out in extroversion energy on game day is alot. He probably needs most of that time to charge his social battery to do the job.
It's easy to say if you're a QB to be outgoing and relatable, but talent doesn't = personality. Jalen may have some areas to grow there, as far as expanding his social capacity, but he's done a great job on the field.
100% man it feels so unfair to pin everything on one guy. Especially one who’s proven he can take a team to the mountaintop. He’s not perfect (most players aren’t), but he works relentlessly to overcome his weaknesses.
I think the most confusing part about the Hurts controversy is how uncontroversial he is. He has all the makings of the NFL’s next golden boy. He has an incredible story, work ethic, and values. He’s been to two Super Bowls and won one. But because he’s a different personality type or doesn’t measure up to these unfair expectations that feel like a moving target, he’s the source of a lot of hate. They need to take it easy on my guy lol
Thanks man! The way the larger NFL media talks about him is wild. He deserves his criticism for sure but doesn’t deserve the hate and definitely deserves more acknowledgment for his accomplishments.

Always Philly. Always the Eagles QB. Always Hurts.
The hate is group think at this point. While dudes who haven’t won anything are untouchable. Good topic to cover man.
