“Find Me a Worse Take”: NFL Legend Lashed by Fans for Placing Jalen Hurts Above Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow and Others

The NFL world has always been spirited over the debate of who is the best quarterback in the league. Some believe it to be Tom Brady, whereas some believe that Aaron Rodgers is more skillful. One thing that remains clear is that the NFL is filled with a large group of talented quarterbacks, who have their own unique skill sets. Furthermore, there is always a comparison between QBs and their greatness. However, after the Super Bowl, everyone has been leaning toward Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. There have been famous players that have dubbed the two quarterbacks as the future of the NFL. However, one player had an interesting take on Hurts.

Recently on a podcast, a legendary New York Giants player made his thoughts about Jalen Hurts clear. He praised the Philly quarterback for his style of play and deemed him better than most quarterbacks in the league. Interestingly, in this NFL legend’s opinion, Hurts surpassed some of the quarterback talents that redefined the game. However, after such an opinion, what can anyone expect but angry NFL fans?

Is Jalen Hurts really as good as this legend claims?

NFL legend, Brandon Marshall, recently appeared on the ‘I AM ATHLETE’ podcast. While he was on the podcast, he revealed an extremely controversial opinion. He mentioned his true thoughts about Hurts. He claimed that Hurts is a top 2 quarterback in the league as of now. Marshall claimed that his take came from the view that winning is how the greatness of a quarterback is measured. In an incredibly questionable take, he boldly stated that Hurts is better than Rodgers as A-Rod might have underachieved.

Furthermore, he also went on to compare Hurts to a lot of other quarterbacks that have been considered distinguished due to their contributions. Additionally, he said, “The only quarterback better than Jalen Hurts right now is Patrick Mahomes. That’s it. Add Joe Burrow. Add Lamar Jackson. Add Russell Wilson. Add Justin Herbert.” Marshall’s controversial opinion involved the name-dropping of a lot of different stars of the league. So naturally, his opinion garnered a lot of attention from fans.

The wrath of NFL fans after Marshall’s take

After his controversial take went viral on Twitter, it was only a matter of time before fans would come running to negate what he said. One fan mentioned the sub-par quality of Marshall’s take.

There were also fans who mentioned players who might be better than Hurts.

Some fans also used Hurts’ stats as proof to negate Marshall’s opinions.

Furthermore, fans were appalled that Marshall thought that Hurts has surpassed stalwarts like Rodgers.

Finally, fans raised a huge question about the consistency with which Hurts performs as compared to other players.

All in all, fans were truly exasperated with Marshall’s opinion. They did not seem to think that Hurts came close to the argument of who are the top 2 quarterbacks in the league. Furthermore, the comparison with players like Rodgets and Burrow drew the ire of fans.

While the fans might have overreacted, their comments were warranted. With the kind of excellence the other players have shown, it is a little unfair to rank Hurts over them just for his play in the Super Bowl. However, the 2023 season will reveal if Marshall is proven wrong or if he was truly right about Hurts.
