NFL Analyst Chris Simms Rips QB Jalen Hurts, Calls Him A “Overrated Player”

Simms asserted that Hurts is thought of as a greater player than he actually is and that other quarterbacks in his position might perform at the same level because of the people around him.

“I respect a lot about Jalen Hurts, but I think Hurts is also like the most overrated player in football,” Simms said.

“That’s me, I know I’m wrong, I take a lot of crap about that comment. But he plays quarterback for a team that’s an all-star team, they have the best O-line in football, and it’s not even close. I just think if you put some other quarterback in Philly, you put Kyler Murray in there, you’d say ‘Damn, Kyler’s amazing. Is he the MVP of football?’

“And I think we lose sight of all that a little bit. It gets into the quarterback team thing where right now we’re all about the quarterback, and he’d be one of those guys that I certainly would go, hey, when Kyler is on his game, he is every bit in the class of Jalen Hurts in my opinion.”

The story around Hurts gets more complicated when you look at the team’s future. Jalen’s turnover issues coincided with the Eagles’ dramatic collapse in the second half of the 2023 season, despite his achievements and nomination to the Pro Bowl.

This is emphasized by Simms as proof of Jalen’s shortcomings, and he makes the suggestion that the club should reconsider their quarterback position going forward.

It’s crucial to remember that Hurts still accomplished personal goals in the 2023 campaign, setting career highs for completions, yards, and touchdowns. Even if there is room for development, his achievements show that he can succeed in the correct environment.
