Nick Wright of First Things First defended Jalen Hurts being ranked behind Justin Herbert in Chris Simms’ Top 10 list
Nothing in life is guaranteed except for maybe bloodthirsty NFC East wars and the Philadelphia Eagles’ undying love for Jason Kelce. Brian Dawkins will always be our superhero. Hmm… Come to think of it, we all may be able to make a few guarantees after all.
Here’s one we can place money on. Never will you ever see Nick Wright or Chris Simms at Chickie’s & Pete’s or an Eagles victory parade. They’re more likely to end up on a wanted list posted around the city, but every once in a while, they both surprise us.
In May, Simms broke character by talking about how great this Eagles team is. Don’t worry. It didn’t last. He was back to bashing Jalen Hurts a week or so later. Recently, he released the annual quarterback ranking he does. The reigning Super Bowl MVP barely cracked the top ten. Somehow, he landed behind some questionable entries.
Don’t take anyone else’s word for it. Take a look for yourselves.
This one caused quite the stir, as you might expect, but the conversations haven’t ended. This story comes with a twist, however. You’ll never guess who came to Jalen Hurts’ defense.
Nick Wright does the rare 180 with his recent defense of Jalen Hurts
This has to be an episode of The Twilight Zone. It’s either that or Nick Wright is luring us in for some Judas-level of betrayal. Don’t take the bait, but if you’re interested, here’s something worth tossing out for fodder.
FS1’s First Things First dedicated a portion of its broadcast recently to picking apart Simms’ QB ranking. The Jalen Hurts defense came from the most unlikely of sources.
Very rarely will you hear this, but it seems warranted in this sense. Wright may have made a couple of points here.
Often, there’s a tendency to crush him when he swings wildly and strikes out. Here’s a pat on the back for something well thought out. Please don’t get used to it. He’ll probably be back to bashing Jalen by the end of the month.
Wright probably won’t be seen in any press boxes at Lincoln Financial Field anytime soon. Give him credit for this one, though. He still isn’t hitting any home runs, but at least he’s contacting the ball and getting on base.
