Halftime Update: Jalen Hurts Is Good. Quite Possibly Very Good
Goodness gracious, me oh my.
I'll admit that Philadelphia might not be the easiest city for guys to play in. Especially in a position that always has everybody's eye on them. Whether that's a point guard for the Sixers, a goalie for the Flyers, or a quarterback for the Eagles, Philly fans are always going to be a little quick to scrutinize. So despite how much Jalen Hurts has proven over the past couple of seasons that he has every capability of developing into a true franchise quarterback, there have still been plenty of fans who "just haven't seen enough yet". But if there were still any questions lingering about Jalen Hurts heading into tonight, those concerns were violently thrown off the Ben Franklin Bridge after the first half that Jalen put on display.
A perfect drive to start the night capped off with a rushing touchdown. THIS unbelievable throw to a wide open Quez Watkins to tear the theoretical roof off the Linc.
And then his 2nd rushing touchdown of the 1st half might just be the most impressive run in Eagles history. This fucking guy, man. This is everything you are going to get out of Jalen Hurts.
The dude just wants it more than anybody else out there. Heart. Determination. Balls. Just a relentless desire to get the job done.
Still plenty of football left in this game tonight, but that 1st half was undeniably arousing from Jalen Hurts. Our baby. Jalen Hurts is good, and there ain't no doubt about it.
Go Birds.
