Well, who's ready to hear Chris Simms back at it with his ridiculous take on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts?
Simms has been outspoken about his doubts about Hurts as a starting quarterback. The former NFL quarterback and now NBC commentator appeared on "This Is Football" with Kevin Clark, where he oddly went on a six-minute rant criticizing Hurts as the main problem in the offense.
"Everybody's blaming the coaches, and the blame deserves to be on the quarterback," Simms said. "That's it. Again, this is why you heard last week and the week before from Philadelphia beat writers who have been there forever, Seth Joyner, all these people. There's a lot of unhappiness in the organization about the quarterback. The quarterback won't play the game in the pocket. The quarterback has hijacked the offense and won't let them run certain plays. I've been saying this for two years. Right now, people are starting to realize. I'm not just saying it. I know it."
"I've been told by people there now (and) people that were there and left. Nick Sirianni didn't get this job because they went, 'Man, you only have five plays in your offense. We want you.' They run a limited offense because of the quarterback."
"The run game has never been creative. It's never. Last year, it was a lot of the same runs you're seeing right now...This is where the organization is going crazy because the public is pointing the finger at everybody except the guy who deserves the blame. All of the players and coaches know that it's the quarterback."
Simms is only using this time to slam Hurts
It's horrible that Simms is using his opportunity to slam a quarterback who is more decollated than most quarterbacks in NFL history. Hurts has one bad game with two turnovers in the 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 13, and all of a sudden, everyone feels confident in going after Hurts.
Over the last few weeks, Hurts has been taking heat from the media, with reports that Eagles players are frustrated with how he's running the offense and that he told coaches before the season to run fewer QB-designed plays. Hurts has had to spend more time defending himself than talking about all the good he has done.
This season, Hurts has completed 66.1% of the passes for 2,514 yards and 19 touchdowns to two interceptions. He's also rushed for 329 yards and eight touchdowns.

Look, Hurts deserves his fair share of the blame for the offensive struggles in 2025, but pinning it all on him is lazy and looks like a targeted move. Simms should study more film on the Eagles before putting all his eggs in one basket of blaming Hurts.
