'I knew he was a great college quarterback,' JoeGoodmanJr writes of Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. 'I just didn’t think the position of quarterback was his future in the NFL. As a columnist, I have never been so happy to be wrong about something.'
Based on Hurts’ form, Philadelphia’s defense and San Francisco’s 19-12 victory against Dallas, it’s hard to pick against the Eagles. Go Birds.
As a quarterback, Hurts focused all of his determination on steady improvements. He was pretty good at Alabama from the beginning, but his success as a freshman isn’t what made him the quarterback he is today. It was what he did after his demotion — how he learned from a tough moment and got to work. His is one of the best stories in sports, and a journey of growth that everyone can appreciate and maybe even use in their own lives.
“He’s got such a strong will. There have been so many challenges set in front of him and he has answered the bell.” Everyone doubted Hurts at some point in his career, and I’ll be the first to admit I was among that legion when he was an underclassman at Alabama. I knew he was a great college quarterback. I just didn’t think the position of quarterback was his future in the NFL. As a columnist, I have never been so happy to be wrong about something … and I’m happy to be wrong about a lot of things I’ve written.
