Gripes that the Eagles' QB and Super Bowl MVP is constantly slighted grow louder with each national ranking, but Hurts is truly a difficult comparison.

Criticism of Jalen Hurts' game is valid. But Hurts' Super Bowl MVP is what does — and should — matter to Nick Sirianni.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had an opportunity to share time with Michael Jordan and Carmelo Anthony after the Super Bowl.

It has become a popular talking point among Jalen Hurts' detractors to suggest that his incredibly talented supporting cast on offense carried him to last season's Super Bowl title.

"One of the reasons I love football so much is that it takes everybody to accomplish your goals," Sirianni said.

Pro Football Focus ranked Hurts as a No. 5 quarterback; however, he was placed in the high-end starters category. Above him, in the elite category, was Josh Allen (No. 4), Lamar Jackson (No. 3), Joe Burrow (No. 2), and Patrick Mahomes (No. 1).

What did an anonymous NFL executive have to say about Jalen Hurts' most recent season with the Philadelphia Eagles?

Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl champion, a Super Bowl MVP, has made two trips to the NFL's grandest stage, and overall has a winning percentage in the NFL of 70 percent. The Eagles have never missed the playoffs in Hurts' four seasons as their starting quarterback.

Nick Sirianni has heard the criticism of Jalen Hurts that he rode the Eagles' star power to a Super Bowl title. The Philadelphia HC blasted that talk as "bulls---."

Months ago, Brandon Graham was riding through the streets of Philadelphia on a Super Bowl champions bus, celebrating the team's second Lombardi Trophy.Then, Graham went out on top in March and retired from football after 15 seasons with the Eagles.
