    I was so impressed with what Jalen Hurt did this week that I have to continue to talk about it. 

    After many doubted whether he was good enough to be an elite quarterback in the NFL, despite already winning a Super Bowl and accomplishing numerous other achievements, Hurts responded in the best possible way against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7. 

    I can't put into words enough just how much this performance meant to him, and all the doubters out there who will continue to doubt him no matter what.

    Beyond all the other drama when it comes to Hurts and people doubting him in the media and fanbase, it's good to see that players are giving him some respect. 

    That includes Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, who had some promising words about what Hurts is doing for Philadelphia.

    “Despite what everybody says in the media, he wins the games,” Rodgers said, per The Athletic’s Zach Berman. “That’s the one thing that matters as a quarterback in the league. One day, he can throw for 300, like he did today. One day, he can throw for 20 yards. He finds ways to win games, and those are the types of quarterbacks that you want.”

    Honestly, Rodgers said it best. 

    No matter what people want to say about Hurts, all he does is win.

    Does that mean that he's the best quarterback in the world? Maybe not, but there aren’t many quarterbacks that the Eagles and the fanbase should want to take over him.

    If there's one thing to watch out for throughout the remainder of the year, it's Hurts' ability to keep players on the roster happy. 

    It seems that there’s been some drama between players in the organization, mainly involving A.J. Brown, but this is a good indication that he's respected, and that's ultimately one of the more critical aspects of being a quarterback in the NFL. 

    Considering he's won a Super Bowl, a Week 7 game doesn't mean everything for Hurts, but I was really impressed with what he did and I feel like it needs to be talked about more.
