Just two months after Jalen Hurts hoisted the Lombardi Trophy, former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel has fans fuming over his brutally honest take. While the Eagles' QB is flying high off a Super Bowl win, Daniel claims he wouldn't even consider Hurts a top-tier option to build a franchise around. The internet, of course, had thoughts.
Chase Daniel questions Jalen Hurts' value as a franchise QB just months after Super Bowl win and fans are not happy
In a recent appearance on "The Athletic Football Show," Chase Daniel dropped the kind of comment that gets football Twitter buzzing. “I don’t want to start a franchise with Jalen Hurts. He might be 8, 9, 10 on that list. Maybe more.” he said. The statement came as a shock, considering Hurts' recent run to a Super Bowl victory with the Eagles and his status as a leader on and off the field.
Daniel, who briefly played for the Eagles, didn’t deny Hurts’ success, but suggested that other quarterbacks would rank higher for long-term investment. His remarks sparked immediate pushback, especially because Hurts just proved himself on the biggest stage.
It didn’t take long for fans to start firing back. Many pointed out the irony of a backup QB with 8 career starts criticizing a quarterback who just led his team to a Super Bowl title. One fan wrote, “Yeah a guy who’s started 5 years and been to two super bowls and won 1. Won a Super Bowl mvp . “Don’t want that guy.” Why is @ChaseDaniel still on tv?”
The responses ranged from outrage to sarcasm, with many defending Hurts’ dual-threat ability, leadership, and clutch postseason performances.
In the Eagles' Super Bowl win, Hurts put up over 300 total yards and scored 3 rushing touchdowns, reminding everyone that he’s not just a system quarterback. His poise, mobility, and growth have made him one of the NFL’s rising stars. Even critics have had to admit that Hurts consistently silences doubters.

Chase Daniel’s comments may have been his personal opinion, but timing is everything and saying Hurts isn’t a top-tier franchise guy right after a Super Bowl win feels tone-deaf. Fans clearly aren't letting this one slide, and as the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Hurts to keep proving the haters wrong.
Daniel might not be starting a franchise with Jalen Hurts, but the Eagles certainly have — and they're not regretting it one bit.
