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

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.
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).
Over time, Philadelphia's locker room has birthed a few other legendary leaders: Jalen Hurts and, before that, Brian Dawkins, Malcom Jenkins, and Brandon Graham. Graham has enjoyed quite the victory lap since winning his second Super Bowl to place the exclamation point at the end of his legendary career.
