The Eagles quarterback, Jalen Hurts, has faced significant criticism following the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Chris Simms, went on a tirade during an interview, labeling Hurts as one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the league. Throughout the season, Hurts struggled with inconsistency, performing well initially but faltering after the 10th game. The Eagles’ record deteriorated, and Hurts’ passing abilities came under scrutiny as the team experienced a series of losses. The postseason was also disappointing for the Eagles, as they were eliminated by Simms’ former team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in a decisive victory during the wildcard round. This is not the first time Simms has targeted Hurts, previously criticizing his famous Tush Push play. Despite a successful 2022-23 season, where Hurts showcased impressive completion numbers, rushing yards, and touchdowns, Simms advised opposing players to be more aggressive in stopping him. As the next season approaches, Hurts will have the opportunity to prove Simms’ criticism wrong and demonstrate his ability to bounce back from a challenging season.
