Nick Wright, Kevin Wildes, and Danny Parkins ask if Hurts is the long-term solution for the Eagles, and if Justin Herbert will ever win a Super Bowl.

Herberts teams have been terrible lets be real.
Danny is so annoying, it’s a TEAM sport when he wins with a great oline great RB great receivers great defense…. But when the “team” has 3 injured lineman a receiver quitting on the team a running back getting hit in the backfield more than any other RB and a defense that gave up 265 yards on the ground to the bears it’s no longer a team sport and it’s all Jalen’s fault
And the counter to the Wentz piece is he played bad for 2 years after the mvp caliber season and never looked the same and had major red flags as a leader in the locker room, and you think just because they were able to move on from Wentz and be successful means they could do the same with Jalen, Wentz had 2 wins his last season, hurts has never had a losing season…. I’d say they’re a bit different
Danny has to leave this show lol saying Caleb or Justin Herbert at times can be best player in football this year is just dumb take neither one will over take Josh or Patrick or even Lamar or Joe. Just bias talk I can do without when watching debate shows
Love how Herbert gets all the breaks and excuses and yet Hurts has won it and nearly (barring a ridiculous call no one other than Mahomes gets under 2 minutes in Super Bowl) he gets no love
Love Nick, but the comment of “ we thought they would win and used the excuse of his tackles were out” he said that the cheifs would win the SB vs TB then when they lost said “well ya his tackles were out how could they possibly win”
Yes, the Cowboys put a good numbers… In the regular season. In the playoffs? 💩 👖
Love Hurts!
This nerd doesn't like hurts, who cares.
Go Bird's DH!!!!
Ngl Danny knows the most ball
I swear, there hasn't been a more overused quote than that Dumb and Dumber line by sports talking heads. It's to the point now where it's not even said in a clever context; they say it just to say it.
Jalen,like most uniformed athletes seems to have a permanent smirk and the notion that he’s God’s gift to the universe. Conversely, QB’s like Jaxon Dart are happy warriors.
Jalen is unlikable. You don’t want that trait in your franchise QB. Just saying
I like Jalen Hurts , but I think Tanner McKee the back up qb is actually better . He hasn’t really been given a chance , but if you watch him play his passes are elite. Remember if Bledso didn’t get hurt we might not of got Brady
So nick the sided with aj brown but traded him 😂make that make sense
Danny (aka Doofy) is really annoying.
The sneaky pressure comment was adequate.
Yes it's so disrespectful "5050"
Wilds is always the voice of reason, sheeeeesh.
The mouth guy is a hater lol…. He outplayed Mahommes on the largest stage twice, but hes a mediocre thrower of the ball elevated by OLINE play….. this guy
When you have had the amount of talent around you in EVERY position, and you’re not completely lighting up the league, there will be questions. It’s ok. I don’t know what’s worse this or Herbert getting all the blame like he hasn’t performed despite the chargers (coaching, injuries/depth, lack of run game)
0 playoff wins and he's compared to A superbowl mvp who Banged it out against Mahomes.
Like Vic said he had new play caller with same O this is first new O. Hurts looks great , maybe faster this O will be nice with his wheels he will run it better than any of the other guys.
Hurts has played with an elite defense. They don’t ask much of him. That offense is unwatchable and only eagles fans can stomach it.
12:02 HOW? Like honestly how can anyone have this opinion?
I’m a die hard Ravens fan but I 100% get the Lamar doubt in the playoffs I’m not blind….but it is an unacceptable opinion to hold that Lamar just can’t/wont get it done but Allen and Herbert WILL…..unacceptable.
🎉 go birds
Jalen Hurts makes his roster look good. You think a team that supposedly elite everywhere else wouldn't just buy the best quarterback? Jalen Hurts is better than.
Mahomes Jr has never out played Jalen Hurts in a game. Josh Allen couldn't beat forest gump leg brace thirtieth ranked defense Jalen Hurts. Joe Burrow hasn't gotten a game over Hurts since he had Justin Jefferson At LSU. Matthew Stafford ain't got a win over Hurts either.
Ok. Hurts is a bum. Those other bums never play better than he does. On his worst days whenever the team is in a slump. Your elite quarterbacks can't beat this bum. Categorically they're bums. In five years. Patrick Mahomes Jr has played him 5 straight years. Mahomes Jr biggest highlight is crying to the refs. You can keep your elite quarterbacks. I like the winner.
Jalen Hurts is QB 1.
A lot of QB have good teams and lose. Never hear Brock purdy be criticized for his O-Line and defense being good.
I really like the chemistry, I've watched the show for many years… Just wish they knew more about sports….
This overhyping of Herbert year after year is getting so old and tiring. Never won a division title, never won a playoff game…… y'all need to chill out propping this dude up until he accomplishes something, anything.
"Mediocre thrower of the football" probably the most L take Danny has ever had in his life. Hurts hate is forced at this point.
Why would Jalen’s heat be even a little hot but Justin Herbert is safe?! 😂😂😂
The "Super Natural Funk" year that they always reference was also the same season were the Eagles were 10-1 before the "funk", Hurts had the second best odds to win MVP and their defense was suspect (actually the worst in the nfl) before Vic Fangio took over. Just Saying
Supernatural funk year offense was solid, defense was awful, offense injured going into playoffs, with assistant coaches fired. Followed by adequate coaching Super Bowl, followed by inadequate OC playoff loss with questionable effort from star WR that wanted trade after week 1.
Been to two superbowls won one, performed well in both and has a SBMVP but he’s on a prove it year. ok.
Jalen Hurts peers are qbs that has been to multiple superbowls nothing else. So Herbert, Allen, Burroughs and Jackson can't say the same. Also his record head to head is crazy,but he's disrespected
If "Howie is the best evaluator of talent" and he has determined Jalen IS qb #1, what in the 🌎 is Danny talking about?!
"He walks off the field, head held high, another win."
Hurts is 50-50 going to the Super bowl
Josh allen is 0%
If Jalen was white & Herbert was black the discussion would be extremely different
With Steichen – Super Bowl
With Moore – Super Bowl
With Johnson – Playoff Loss
With Patullo – Playoff Loss
With Mannion – ???
Jalen and Sirianni are the constants during this period. If you don't see the difference in quality between the two SB Coordinators and the two Playoff losing OCs, then there is no need for any more words. The Eagles are the only consistently successful team where analysts and pundits have decided the only exceptional person is the General Manager.
Danny is a clown most days come on bro if it was Jalen Howie woulda got rid of Jalen not aj him getting rid of aj should tell the clowns he was the problem and now the eagles will be back this year aj is washed and it’ll show
Siriani would never have won a superbowl with any other team in the history of the league besides the 24’ Eagles. The roster was perfectly assembled to be great for that one singular year. Without Howie landing massive impact free agent signings for cheap they would never have sniffed a championship. The roster was so good the coach wasn’t even that relevant especially when you take into fact his two coordinators should have been head coaches. (Fangio is to old now but he definitely could have been a head coach again)
Siriani will get fired after the eagles get 4th place in the East this year and no one will hire him.
Hurts is Dilfer with running ability
Absolutely AJ's problem look at the Super Bowl when we were demolishing the Chiefs and he's over there cursing out Nick Sirianni
all of these clowns after the Super Bowl said he has solidified himself and he needs to be thought of differently than most quarterbacks and then one off year which wasn't even that bad and they are ready to write him off
Just to let you know this guy has always been an eagles and Jalen hurts hater and was guaranteeing a Super Bowl win for the Chiefs in that last Super Bowl
They want to sit here and talk up a bum quarterback who can't win in the playoffs and then trash a quarterback who's been to two Super Bowls in like 6 years. he was probably the best player on the field in the Super Bowl that we lost and he has a Lombardi to his name
166 passing yards per game in playoff wins. Every top 10 QB in the league would have Super Bowls where that's all that's necessary.
Justin Herbert is playing his girlfriend at training camp. He is not going to a Super Bowl.
