Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had an outstanding season in 2022, finishing second in the MVP award race and leading his team to the Super Bowl. However, their season ended with a heartbreaking loss.

Heading into the 2023 season, expectations were high for Hurts and the Eagles, given their impressive performance the previous year. They started the season strong, but ended up with a disappointing 10-1 record before suffering an embarrassing playoff loss.

Despite Hurts’ impressive statistics, the team’s performance and the disappointing playoff loss have raised questions about his ability to lead the team. NFL analyst and former quarterback Chris Simms, known for his controversial opinions, called Hurts “the most overrated player in football.”

Simms’ criticism of Hurts has sparked debate among fans and analysts. Some argue that Hurts’ success is solely based on his rushing touchdowns, while others believe that he is not solely responsible for the team’s performance.

Simms also suggested that another quarterback, such as Kyler Murray, could lead the Eagles to greater success than Hurts. However, it’s important to consider the team’s other weaknesses, particularly on defense, before placing blame solely on Hurts.

While Hurts has faced criticism, labeling him as “the most overrated player in football” seems unreasonable. Even Simms acknowledged that his opinion might not be well received, saying, “That’s me, I know I’m wrong.”

Despite the debate surrounding Hurts, it is essential to consider the team as a whole and the challenges they faced throughout the season.
