Philadelphia Eagles fans have had it with all the conversations and doubts surrounding their franchise quarterback, Jalen Hurts.

After the ESPN report citing multiple sources who slammed Hurts for being uncoachable and changing plays, the topic has been whether he is even a good quarterback or whether the team should keep him at all. It has even come down to whether he does anything to contribute to the team's wins.

Well, Sports Radio 94 WIP host and former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas was tired of the conversation as it was brought up again when talking about how much the team "carries" Hurts. Douglas made his feelings known to his co-host, Joe Giglio, about it.

"No, you got it. I'm tired of this conversation. I am so f*****g tired of this f*****g conversation," Douglas said. "Because I'm tired of this conversation. I really am."

Hugh Douglas is just like every Eagles fan when it comes to the Jalen Hurts conversation

Giglio has been one of the big offenders on WIP, criticizing Hurts on the airwaves, as well as Spike Eskin. Eagles fans like to chalk it up as the station trying to rile them up with controversial hot takes, but it appears that Douglas is done talking about Hurts.

Every Eagles fan feels the same way.

It's the summer, so there isn't too much to talk about, but this conversation has been tackled at nasium. Fans get it: Hurts isn't a perfect quarterback. Still, many in the media want to ignore everything that he has done over the years.

The man has won over 68% of his starts, he has made three Pro Bowls, made two Super Bowls, and won a Super Bowl MVP. He had to do all of that with six different play callers in his first six seasons in the NFL. Why doesn't he get credit for that?

It's getting tiresome to hear all the constant criticism for a guy who does everything right on and off the field. When he plays, he protects the football and wins games. Off the field, he is doing charitable work and staying out of trouble.

Still, it just isn't enough for most of the media talking heads.

If they want to keep ignoring what Hurts has accomplished in his NFL career, go right ahead, but not many quarterbacks are doing the things that he has done in his six years. Eagles fans join Douglas in his discussion about Hurts.
