Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have had a spectacular run in the season thus far. After Hurts’ successful homecoming against the Houston Texans, the Eagles made franchise history with eight victories and no losses.

At Houston, MVP chants echoed through the crowd as the team made their way off the field. Hurts has undoubtedly made his mark this season. Although some seem to believe that the quarterback is on his way to claiming the crown, others have opinions of their own.

Skip Bayless hates the Eagles but loves Jalen Hurts

Commentator Skip Bayles of ‘Undisputed’, a talk show, brought some of his thoughts to light. Bayless revealed that he has never liked the Eagles. But Hurts’ demonstration this year is making it hard for him to hold on to that hatred.

He said, ”I’ve told you, I just grew up hating the Eagles. I’ve never hated the giants, I didn’t even hate the team in Washington that we used to call that other name. But I hated the Eagles. I hated the colour of the uniforms, it’s kinda this sickly green, I don’t know, it’s nasty.”

Hurts and his MVP run

Analyst Shannon Sharpe of ‘Undisputed’ thinks that Jalen Hurts has been great this season. But he does not rank him ahead of his competitors.

Sharpe believes that the Bills’ Josh Allen takes the number one spot in the running for MVP, followed by the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. Hurts comes in at third according to him.

Regardless of where he stands in the MVP run, Hurts has proven that he is more than capable of leading the Eagles. Currently ranked atop the NFC East, the Eagles will take on the Washington Commanders in their next bout.
