In the case of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, 1 anonymous report has seemed to open the floodgates to a world of criticism of the NFL All-Pro and Super Bowl MVP.
The latest to pile on was legendary (and recently retired) Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David, who dismissed Hurts as an elite quarterback in a recent interview.
“Jalen Hurts was never a guy who we were worried about when we played the Eagles,” David said during an appearance on The Arena: Gridiron. “Our game plan was just like, ‘We going make Jalen Hurts beat us.’ We’re going to keep him in the pocket, make him make his reads, understand what defense he’s seeing, and make him beat us.”
The Buccaneers are 1 of the few teams that have had Hurts’ number throughout his career — he’s 2-4 against Tampa Bay, and the Buccaneers also bounced the Eagles out of the playoffs following the 2023 season.
