Philadelphia Eagles reporter offers lame Hurts-Mahomes scorching take

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody’s acquired one and most of them stink. Some stenches are means 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 vital considering isn’t his robust level with the tweet beneath, the place he mentioned in case you 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. 

Sizzling takes, get your scorching takes!

Sizzling 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 reveals somewhat rapidly. To show his impartiality as a beat reporter, he’s carrying a Philadelphia Union jersey within the pinned video on his Twitter web page. I didn’t should look that onerous to search 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 chunk and write about you, congrats. Past the rapid attention-whoring of Shorr-Parks’ tweet, recognizing Jalen Hurts’ phenomenal season is required. He’s doubtless 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 would possibly beat Mahomes for the award. Calling Hurts an elite quarterback proper now additionally isn’t correct in the intervening 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 listing is supposed to be unique, not inclusive. There are just a few quarterbacks within the ballpark of being on that listing however undoubtedly don’t deserve entry at the moment: Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers, and Hurts. To be really 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 transferring ahead coming into yr No. 3. That is his first marketing campaign wanting like an elite quarterback and might’t be thought-about among the many greatest 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 higher than Patrick Mahomes?

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

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