No one loved beef like the late, great ‘Drama King,’ D.J. Kay Slay. If things were quiet and there wasn’t any, he’d create some. If he were here, he’d be having a field day with the Jalen Hurts narratives if he hadn’t passed on after a COVID-19 contraction in 2022.
This seemed like a mere opinion a couple of years ago. Still, it’s hard to think of a starting quarterback who is marginalized and disrespected more often than the Philadelphia Eagles starter. All he does is win. All people do is complain. If you only read the narratives, you’d think he was Trevor Lawrence or Justin Herbert… But, that probably doesn’t make the point we’re trying to communicate because people keep telling us those two are better players.
Recently, Cam Newton joined the Jalen Hurts onslaught. That was surprising. If anyone joined Hurt’s side, we would have assumed it would have been him, but no dice.
Hurts found some support as Newton was criticized for his statements. The 2015 NFL MVP didn’t waver. He doubled down. Most thought training camp would shift the focus away from this, but an established voice joined the discussion. And, he’s backing Hurts.

Cam Newton said that Jalen Hurts isn’t a top 10 QB in the NFL. He is so blatantly wrong.
And as a player? Give me Jalen Hurts > Cam Newton as my franchise QB. This is why. pic.twitter.com/IxiI1ZxBrB

We tried to play devil’s advocate and offer a varying opinion just for kicks after that one, but we can’t. Senior hit the nail on the head there. That sound you hear is Newton’s jaw hitting the floor.
Well done, Mr. Senior. There’s seemingly nothing left to add after that level of excellence. That being said, we get back to the Eagles training camp news.
