Daily News | Jalen Hurts is what he is; don’t make the same mistakes made with Donovan McNabb
Perhaps my greatest regret as a sportswriter is expecting too much too soon from Donovan McNabb. Now, I find myself doing the same with Jalen Hurts.We should try not to repeat the mistakes we made with McNabb.
Expecting McNabb to be anything more than an exciting long-term project was simply unrealistic. It was unfair. McNabb also went to five consecutive Pro Bowls, and six overall. He thrived no matter how sparse his receiver corps was. He ended his 10-year run here as a full-time starter with 90-45-1 record in the regular season, 9-7 in the playoffs. No matter what the analytic crowd tells you, wins are the most important QB stat, since QBs have more control over wins and losses than any other athlete in team sports.
That’s fine. Plenty of quarterbacks have won Super Bowls with modest skill sets, and, at 24, we have no idea what Hurts’ skill set will turn out to be.
