Opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s obtained one and most of them stink. Some stenches are manner worse than others although and within the sports activities world, there’s no higher place to see a poopy butt on show than Twitter. In at the moment’s version of exhibiting your idiocy, enter Eliot Shorr-Parks, self-described Eagles reporter for 94WIP.com. Regardless of working in sports activities media, he proved crucial considering isn’t his sturdy level with the tweet under, the place he mentioned if you happen to constructed a quarterback from scratch, you’d need somebody extra like Jalen Hurts than Patrick Mahomes. To additional show his foul opinion, the second line of his message presents the biased discovering as an indisputable fact. 

Scorching takes, get your scorching takes!

Scorching takes are on the fad. It’s a straightforward technique to get your quarter-hour of fame. Like most individuals chasing clout over journalistic excellence, like Jason Whitlock or Skip Bayless, your ass exhibits relatively shortly. To show his impartiality as a beat reporter, he’s sporting a Philadelphia Union jersey within the pinned video on his Twitter web page. I didn’t must look that arduous to seek out the man’s a twat, a lot much less all of the Eagles followers saying he doesn’t characterize their fan base within the replies. Falling by the ceiling of a bus cease is extra their factor.

If exhibiting your lack of mind energy to get somebody to chew and write about you, congrats. Past the quick attention-whoring of Shorr-Parks’ tweet, recognizing Jalen Hurts’ phenomenal season is required. He’s seemingly the MVP runner-up to the beginning quarterback on the opposite sideline for Sunday’s Tremendous Bowl. And if Hurts doesn’t get injured close to the tip of the common season, he may beat Mahomes for the award. Calling Hurts an elite quarterback proper now additionally isn’t correct in the mean time.

Which quarterbacks are elite?

There are solely three quarterbacks that I’d name elite in at the moment’s NFL: Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow. That record is supposed to be unique, not inclusive. There are a couple of quarterbacks within the ballpark of being on that record however undoubtedly don’t deserve entry at the moment: Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, and Hurts. To be actually elite, you want present consecutive seasons of sustained top-level play. Hurts did that in 2022, however let’s not overlook the chirps from Eagles followers questioning whether or not he was their man shifting ahead getting into yr No. 3. That is his first marketing campaign wanting like an elite quarterback and may’t be thought-about among the many finest till it’s repeated. He has all of the instruments to win Tremendous Bowl LVII and be a part of that trio subsequent season. He’s unequivocally not there proper now.

How is Jalen Hurts better than Patrick Mahomes?

What exactly makes him a superior quarterback to Mahomes? I actually can’t consider something. Hurts being nice and Mahomes present as a sign caller we’ve by no means seen the likes of within the NFL earlier than are each true. Largely as a result of play of Mahomes, the AFC Championship sport has been held in Kansas Metropolis every of the final 5 seasons. Hurts has achieved that feat 4 fewer instances.

There are little doubt qualities about Hurts which might be extremely fascinating for any quarterback. He’s obtained a robust arm, he’s cellular, inventive, and difficult. Hurts additionally hasn’t began each sport of an NFL season but. It’s too early to name him the perfect quarterback when you’ve different guys within the league like Mahomes and Allen who’ve proved it past a doubt. When constructing the perfect NFL quarterback, why not go along with the perfect one? In that case, you’re constructing Mahomes.
