Eagles' Jalen Hurts Snubbed, Ranked Behind Jared Goff

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to be one of the most polarizing quarterbacks in the National Football League.

Philadelphia's offense is one of the best in football. The Eagles utilize the running game more than any other team. The Eagles led the NFL in 2024 with 621 rushing attempts. The second-most rushing attempts came from the Baltimore Ravens with 554. Philadelphia utilizes the "Tush Push" better than any other team.

Hurts and the passing game specifically aren't as prolific thanks in large part to the success of the running game. Philadelphia finished the 2024 season with the fewest passing attempts in the league with 448.

Hurts is someone who has all of the talent in the world but sometimes gets knocked because of the lack of passing attempts. Hurts is one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but sometimes it's hard to rank him among the best quarterbacks in the league because the passing numbers may be lower than other elite quarterbacks, although his rushing numbers are fantastic.

Everything to Know About Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler shared a column in which executives, coaches, and scouts ranked the top quarterbacks in the league. Hurts came in at No. 9, behind the likes of Jared Goff, Justin Herbert, Matthew Stafford, and Jayden Daniels among others.

"No. 9. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles," Fowler said. "Highest ranking: 6 | Lowest ranking: unranked. Age: 26 | Last year's ranking: honorable mention. Hurts' status is cemented. He's a Super Bowl winner who plays big in big moments. He's the most potent short-yardage quarterback rusher in NFL history. His streak of four consecutive seasons with 10 or more rushing touchdowns is the league's longest ever for a passer.

"He's also one of the game's most accurate passers, ranking first in completion percentage over expected (+6.6). And he throws a beautiful deep ball. That touchdown pass to Devonta Smith in Super Bowl LIX was a Superdome-sized work of art. 'He had a better year running the ball, and the way he played down the stretch when healthy was impressive,' said an AFC executive who voted Hurts in the top five. 'Better throwing the ball in general this year and cut out the turnovers.'"

Guys like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson have consistently been ranked in front of Hurts, but these other guys, like Daniels, come as a surprise. We'll see how the reigning Super Bowl MVP responds in 2025.

Packers Cheerleader Sues a Packers Player for Harassment by Flirting with Her While Already Married
Can you believe it? A charming, dynamic cheerleader from the Green Bay Packers is "exploding" and dragging a team player to court for "unforgivable" behaviors! Abigale Licciardi – the star of the Packers Cheer Squad – has officially filed a lawsuit, and the drama behind it is stirring up NFL fans! Could this be the "biggest scandal" in Packers history? Read now to discover the "scorching" details! Abigale Licciardi, a professional cheerleader for the American football team Green Bay Packers in the NFL, is a prominent member of the Packers Cheer Squad group. She is a former student at the University of Wisconsin, where she participated in the local cheer squad and dance activities. Before that, Abigale was a dancer for NBA events and holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Marquette University. Abigale is active on social media, often sharing about games at Lambeau Field, community activities, and her role as a brand ambassador for the Packers. As part of the Packers Cheer Squad team consisting of about 47 members (combining male and female), Abigale participates in fan interactions, charity events like "Dream On 3," and performances at Packers games. She has an Instagram account (@abigalelicciardi) with posts about cheer life and a TikTok (@abigale_packers) where she shares videos about game days and dance routines. Before joining the Packers, she worked at a local event company, proving her versatility and passion. But the "nightmare" struck when Abigale got "entangled" with a Packers player! That's Mike Thornton, a backup defensive end who rarely plays for the Packers – a guy who's practically "anonymous" to fans, only playing sporadically on special teams and never a pillar. Thornton, 29 years old, has been married since 2021 to his wife, a community nurse, and they have two young children (one boy and one girl). Yet, according to Abigale's lawsuit, Thornton has been "flirting" with her recklessly, despite his happy family life! The "explosion" happened when Thornton started sending "sweet" messages to Abigale via Instagram, praising her smile and energy after performances. At first, Abigale thought it was just friendly praise from a teammate, but things quickly "crossed the line" into harassment! Thornton called her in the middle of the night – sometimes at 1-2 a.m. – to "share" about playing pressures, invite her for private dinners, and even send "suggestive" videos filmed at the gym! Abigale stated in the lawsuit: "He knows I only focus on my career and the team, but he won't stop. Those midnight calls make me anxious and stressed, severely affecting my performance!" According to insider sources, Thornton has been "stalking" Abigale since preseason, frequently "lingering" at community events she attends, and intentionally "creating situations" to approach her. Thornton's wife, upon learning, went "crazy" and threatened to break up, but the guy remains "blind"! The Packers are "shaken" by this scandal: The team management has temporarily isolated Thornton for investigation, while fans are divided – one side defends Abigale's "brave accusation," the other suspects it's a "staged script." The NFL league is also intervening, which could lead to heavy fines or removal from the roster! Abigale, with her "queen" image on TikTok and Instagram, is now becoming a "victim" of harassment – a thorny issue in the sports world! How will the court punish Thornton? And will the Packers "clean up" the team to protect their cheerleaders? Don't miss out – follow now for the next "drama" update! What do you think about this case, comment below!
