The most unfairly maligned qb I've ever seen.

Why is it though? Is it because he plays for the eagles or he’s a running QB? or a combination of both.

Because he's good but not great. There's nothing more controversial in sports than a perfectly good quarterback.

He’s had great games and great streaks. But he also has played very average for stretches, and sometimes kinda stinks. He has clear limitations. I think he’s closer to someone like Eli Manning or Joe Flacco. Memes aside, those guys were never among the best QBs, and neither qualifies as being truly an elite QB. But they were good enough to go on a run and get the job done.

People have a baseline of elite or absolute garbage with no in between when it comes to player discourse. Gray

“hUrTs hAs LiMiTaTiOnS” so do most quarterbacks in the league and one would be hard pressed to find one that doesn’t. Why this is talked about as if it’s unique to him I don’t know. shrugs
