Colin Cowherd questions whether Jalen Hurts is “too small” to last in the NFL and I am officially losing my mind

I cannot have Jalen Hurts mentioned in the same sentence as Kyler Murray and Tua Tagovailoa. We are not doing that. Colin Cowherd tried it anyway, which tells you everything you need to know about the current state of national sports media.

Disgusting Behavior: Jeremy Fowler hits the engagement farm with new ESPN “Buzz” claiming the Eagles could move on from Jalen Hurts

It is Thursday and the Jalen Hurts slander has reached levels of insanity I did not think were possible.

I feel like I am taking crazy pills. This city is barely processing three straight losses and suddenly everyone in the national media is treating Hurts like a fringe backup.

It was only last February when Jalen Hurts won Super Bowl MVP after ending the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty in New Orleans. The Eagles are 8-5. The sky is not falling. Everyone needs to calm down and return to reality.

Cowherd’s clip stinks. It was crafted specifically for engagement farming. He dropped Justin Herbert’s height into the conversation only so kids on TikTok would comment “67” a million times and spike the numbers.

That is the only explanation because nothing else he said makes even a little bit of sense. Suggesting Jalen Hurts is too small for the NFL is comedy.

Hurts is 230 pounds of raw meat and, as Conway so beautifully described him, “twisted steel and sex appeal.”

It is not a fact that the Eagles are bad when Jalen Hurts throws the football.

That is one of the most ridiculous statements you could make about this team. Over here on earth, Hurts has not been playing great. Everyone acknowledges that. The offensive line has been the worst unit on the roster this year, which has killed the run game. No run game means no rhythm.

No rhythm means the entire operation falls into the hands of a coordinator who has not proven he can consistently scheme around adversity.

That coordinator, by the way, is Kevin Patullo. This offense has deeper problems than a quarterback suddenly forgetting how to play football.

None of that will stop the national media from inventing storylines and punching down on the most visible player in the franchise. It is lazy. It is insulting. It is everything that is wrong with the sports echo chamber right now.

Jalen Hurts is not the problem. The Eagles need to get healthy, get organized, and remember how to play complementary football. Until then, I am begging everyone in the national conversation to try operating with at least a shred of honesty.

Good luck with that.
