It’s human nature to look at the other side of the fence and think the grass is greener on the other side. Sometimes it is. Most times it probably isn’t.

Such is the case with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. He takes a lot of heat locally and nationally whenever he makes a mistake, like missing an open receiver, not seeing the field as well as he should at time, and sometimes holding the ball too long.

But, and this is a big but, he is 45-19 in four-plus years as a starting quarterback, and that should be enough to shield him from such endless criticism.

He’s guided the Eagles into the playoffs for four straight seasons and he has played in a Super Bowl, in which he should have been the MVP despite a 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

There were four quarterbacks picked ahead of him in the 2020 NFL Draft, all in the first round. Only one has made the Super Bowl, and that is the first overall pick in Hurts’ class, Joe Burrow. And the Bengals quarterback lost there, too, like Hurts.

Here’s a look at the first five QBs taken in 2020:
