Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagle Legend

He plays the role almost too perfectly for a Philadelphia fan to feel comfortable with. Hope he's not a secret prostitute killer or something.

His "keep the main thing the main thing" phrase stuck with me, has been a useful schema to return to at times. A grown ass man using words out the mouths of babes to stay on track...

Couldn't ask for a better team leader than him.

I watch a lot of CFB and hated when he went to OU bc I loathe that program. And when they took him in the 2nd we all exploded. But damn if Howie wasn't right.

Revenge tour coming up.

SB let's goooo

Frustrating to watch at times but never understood the hate. Favorite commercial of the year

Love Hurts

They might as well cause you're surely not gonna admit that you were mistaken

MDS · February 10, 2025, 08:53:58 PM

hurts is whatever you want him to be...he outplayed mahomes for a 2nd time in the super bowl and was barely better than kenny pickett in the other 2 playoff games

brad johnson and trent dilfer also have chips

Brad Johnson, and Trent Dilfer have rings; Burrow, Allen, and Jackson do not. Right now I'll take flawed winner over great choker.

Diomedes · February 11, 2025, 07:16:13 AM

I rest my case.

PhillyPhreak54 · February 11, 2025, 09:58:50 AM

I'm petitioning the city to build a Hurts smoking his cigar statute on lil guy's block

MDS · February 11, 2025, 09:41:56 PM

Diomedes · February 11, 2025, 10:03:09 PM

Your NIMBY neighbors disagree.

Bumping this thread as a sop to the haters.

It's a good read. I recommend starting from the first post, but it's rich throughout; one can dip in anywhere and find each clown performing his part to type.

I watched the Bills game and I've re-watched all the second half pass plays. Hurts was the solution, not the problem. Patullo gave him dick-all to work with. No one was open. Play calling malpractice. Frankly, it was borderline magnificent that Hurts didn't give up sacks or turnovers. Eagles won that game because the Defense is all world, and the QB protected the ball.

Then yesterday I saw a clip of Hurts talking about working with Tanner, saying something about how that kind of mentorship was something he never had, so he is trying to be the mentor for his teammates that he didn't get.
One might infer a dry commentary on the way Wentz treated Hurts as a rookie, but he's not the type to log personal complaints in the press.

He certainly could have been speaking more broadly than just with the Eagles during his rookie season.
Remember, college inclusive, Hurts has had the same OC in consecutive years only once.

I had to double check that:

Alabama
2016 [true freshman] Nick Saban / Lane Kiffin
2017 Nick Saban / Brian Daboll
2018 Nick Saban / Michael Locklsey

Oklahoma
2019 Lincoln Riley / Cale Gundy and Bill Bedenbaugh

Eagles
2020 Pederson / Taylor
2021 Sirianni / Steichen
2022 Sirianni / Steichen
2023 Sirianni / Johnson
2024 Sirianni / Moore
2025 Sirianni / Patullo

Most common things in all these teams, other than a lot of wins? Jalen Hurts.

Between '21 and '22, Hurts had Steichen. His 2022 performance put him in the MVP conversation that season and his Super Bowl performance, even with the early turnover, was amazing.

Unlike other QBs we've had to watch, Hurts steps up in the biggest moments. Love the guy.

The Eagles need a long term solution for OC. They are set at QB.
