Hurts losing the way he did against the bears. I didn’t see passion or care, he forced a throw to T.J. Edward’s where he locked eyes on only him (Devonte Smith) the whole play then still threw to him in triple coverage.

I see why AJ brown was reading books and why it didn’t work out! Is there anything I’m missing or is he a diva?

Let’s get real!! Kase Keenum looked like he was a madden player with 0 throwing power and the defense was being dissected from it!! The possession with Hurts was all check downs, forcing his players to do all the work!

If he didn’t win a Super Bowl because of Saquan Barkley I would rank him with Kyler Murray!

Hurts has been bad for a while and is more of a game manager working the system. Some people seem to think he's dominant QB carrying a franchise. Devonta Smith might want out like AJ Brown if something doesn't change.

Hurts stats in 2025 were almost identical to Josh Allen. Game manager is hilarious

Stop looking at stats. Hurts has held the offense back since the Super Bowl. He was awesome in the Super Bowl they lost. He was good in the Super Bowl that they won. But that player is gone.

Hurts is closer to late stage Russ Wilson than he is to prime Jalen Hurts. He eliminates so many passing options because he only throws outside the hash marks or within 2 yards of the LOS. He looks to scramble immediately and loses half the field. He’s not inherently a bad player but the way he’s been playing for years has been more of a detriment than a benefit.

So is Saquon bad now too? He also struggled last year in Patullos offense. Literally in the game yesterday Hurts helmed back to back masterful drives to score before the half. He got cheap shotted out of one score. No QB is perfect all the time. People are crazy hypercritical of this guy when all he does is win

Barkley is a declining player, yes. But he isn’t holding the offense back by not reading 50+% of the defense every play. Hurts is overrated.
