Fireable Offense: Jordan Poyer delivers ridiculous Jalen Hurts criticism, gets Community Noted into oblivion

We’ve got another entry in the never-ending “let’s doubt Jalen Hurts” genre, and this one might be the funniest yet, because Jordan Poyer got caught red-handed being on the wrong end of the exact scenario he claimed Hurts can’t do.

Former Bills safety turned analyst Jordan Poyer went on CBS this week and questioned whether Hurts can lead a comeback, and the internet, rightfully, ate him alive.

Jordan Poyer is an idiot

Say hello to the poster boy of former NFL players who shouldn’t sit behind a desk on television. Here’s what Poyer said on NFL on CBS: “A quarterback in this league, your team is down 14 points with four minutes to go. Is Jalen Hurts somebody that you trust to bring your team back in the game?”

He went on to praise the Eagles’ offense, Saquon, the offensive line, the receivers, the defense, all of it, before landing on this: “He’s not somebody that I would trust down 14 to bring my team back in the game. But, again, I’m not gonna sit here and hate on Jalen, because all he’s done is win.”

So to recap, Jordan Poyer acknowledges Hurts has done nothing but WIN, praises literally everything around him, and then still concludes he wouldn’t trust him in a comeback. It’s the same tired, contradictory logic that follows Hurts around everywhere he goes. All he does is win, but somehow he’s not to be trusted.

Make it make sense, ya know? The best part is the Community Note on X…

Uh Oh: Jalen Hurts Did This to Jordan Poyer Specifically

Here’s where it goes from a lazy take to an all-time self-own. Jordan Poyer conveniently forgot one of Hurts’ most memorable performances, and it came against HIS team, with HIM on the field.

Back in December 2023, Jalen Hurts rallied the Eagles from two separate 10-point deficits to beat Poyer’s Bills 37-34 in overtime. Hurts capped the comeback with the game-winning rushing touchdown, and Jordan Poyer was on the field playing defense when he did it.

You genuinely cannot make this up. The man chosen a comeback scenario, down double digits late, as the thing Hurts supposedly can’t do, and Hurts did precisely that TO him, in a game Jordan Poyer personally lost because he couldn’t stop it.

The internet, of course, remembered immediately. His comment got slapped with a Community Note on X, and the NFL world had a field day. One person called it a “fireable offense.” Another laid out the exact 2023 game, Hurts with 5 touchdowns, erasing a double-digit deficit against Buffalo, with Poyer standing right there.

Jordan Poyer In A Nutshell

Honestly it’s a good lesson for a lot of these ex-players turned analysts: just because you played the game doesn’t mean you need to be behind a desk breaking it down.

Jordan Poyer had a nice career, but going on national TV to question whether a guy can do something that guy did to your own face, and then getting Community Noted for it, is about as embarrassing as it gets in the analyst world. Do five seconds of research. Or better yet, just remember the games you actually played in.

Same Jalen Hurts Song, Different Dance

The bigger picture here is that this is just the latest example of the bizarre, relentless disrespect Jalen Hurts gets from everyone with a microphone. A Super Bowl MVP, a guy who by Poyer’s own admission has done “nothing but win,” and the conversation is STILL about what he supposedly can’t do. Meanwhile the actual receipts, the comebacks, the wins, the ring, all get conveniently ignored so somebody can farm a hot take.

This disrespect is exactly the fuel that makes Hurts go. He’s been doubted at every level, and every time he answers by winning. Jordan Poyer just handed him another slice of bulletin-board material, and the fact that the internet immediately clowned the take tells you the tide might finally be turning on the “doubt Jalen” industry.

Cya Later, Jordan Poyer. Dork.

Jordan Poyer picked the single worst possible example to doubt Jalen Hurts, got Community Noted into oblivion, and reminded everyone why “he played the game” doesn’t automatically make someone worth listening to. Hurts led a double-digit comeback against Poyer’s own team and beat them in overtime with his legs. That’s not an opinion, that’s the tape.

Keep doubting him, everyone. It’s worked out great for all the other doubters. The Eagles face the Patriots on Saturday at 7, and Jalen Hurts will keep doing what he’s always done, which is win and make people like Jordan Poyer look silly for ever questioning it.
