Did Micah Parsons just take a shot at Jalen Hurts?
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been in talks of earning an MVP, and Micah Parsons believes credit is due to the offensive line and system.
Eagles star Jalen Hurts is having the best season of his young career, helping the team to a 12-1 record, the best record in the NFL this season. Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, however, questioned whether Hurts deserves credit for good results, or if the team was carrying him.
Hurts is up against the likes of Patrick Mahomes for MVP, which is a huge feat in itself. Mahomes has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league for years, but Hurts is certainly making himself comparable this season.
Hurts is only in his third season in the league, so there’s no surprise that he took a few seasons to reach his fullest potential. However, he deserves credit for what he’s done this season, despite Parsons comment.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts deserves MVP consideration
While it does take a good offensive line to execute the offense, Hurts is great at what he does. Bd quarterback play is relatively obvious in today’s day and age.
However, Hurts has been quick and strategic this season.
So far this season, Hurts has had 264 completions, good for a completion percentage of 68.0, 3,157 passing yards, an average of 8.1 yards per pass and 22 touchdowns. Combine that with his rushing totals, and you have an MVP candidate.
His offensive line is extremely good, but they wouldn’t be able to work as effectively without a good quarterback passing the ball.
The Eagles are, overall, one of the best teams in the league right now, and Hurts has played a huge role in that. The last time they even came close to being this dominant was the 2017-18 season when they finished the season with a 13-3 record and ended up winning the Super Bowl.
Hurts is making their chances of another Super Bowl very real, and he deserves full credit for the great things he’s done this season.
