Chiefs fan Nick Wright comes to the defense of Jalen Hurts (kind of)

The variety of different opinions on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to dominate offseason conversations among the media.

Former NFL quarterback and now NBC NFL analyst Chris Simms has not been so kind in his thoughts on Hurts. In his recent quarterback rankings, Simms had Hurts ranked 10th. Guys ahead of Hurts include Baker Mayfield, C.J. Stroud, Matthew Stafford, and Justin Herbert.

An unusual moment occurred on FS1 where one of the commentators came to the defense of Hurts regarding his ranking. And it was from a well-known Kansas City Chiefs fan.

Nick Wright shares his thoughts on Hurts behind Herbert

During a segment on FS1's First Things First, Nick Wright had to question one aspect of Simms' quarterback rankings: how Herbert was ranked higher than Hurts. Wright pointed out what Simms is showing with his evaluation and how Herbert's playoff resume is being ignored.

"I'm going to pin point though one guy ahead of him. Having Jalen Hurts behind Justin Herbert, it's really one of those things where it tells me a lot about the evaluator and what they value and what they don't. Listen, I'm about to talk about here, I'm sure I'm guilty of. This is not an attack on Chris Simms, I promise. But it speaks to the massive ego of, I just know better than the five years of evidence and careers and 150 games played between them, doesn't matter as much as my eye. Because when one guy has not only been to two Super Bowls, but played really well in one and played great in the other and not to mention the NFC Championship game where they scored 50 and all of that stuff and the other guy's playoff resume is two of the most disappointing playoff performances of the last decade. The last of which came in a season where he had the number one defense in football and all Jim Harbaugh asked of him: don't turn the ball over and we'll be fine. In the playoff game, he had more interceptions than he had the entirety of the regular season combined. I just don’t know how you can say he's [Justin Herbert] is better than Jalen Hurts. That one ranking seems to me to be indefensible other than, ‘eh, I just know.’”
