Eagles' Jalen Hurts the most overrated player in football

Truth.

 Former NFL quarterback and current NBC analyst Chris Simms is not sold on the former Oklahoma and Alabama standout.

"I respect a lot about Jalen Hurts, but I think Jalen Hurts is also like the most overrated player in football, Simms said on the "PHX Cardinals Podcast." During Super Bowl week. "That’s me. That’s me, I know I’m wrong, I take a lot of crap about that comment.

"He plays quarterback for a team that’s an All-Star team. They have the best O-line in football. It’s not even close, right? They got maybe the best duos at wide receiver in all of football, right. I just think if you put some other quarterbacks in Philly, you put Kyler Murray there, you go, ‘Damn, Kyler’s amazing. Is he the MVP of football?"

Simms explained that he thinks the analysis on Hurts loses sight of that. He said when Murray is "on his game, he’s every bit in the class of Jalen Hurts."

Both Hurts and Murray, who plays for the Arizona Cardinals, have similar numbers when they are healthy. Neither has had a season of more than 4,000 passing yards or 30 touchdown passes. Murray missed portions of the 2022 and 2023 seasons with a torn ACL.
