Rams' star Jared Verse sends strong message to critics of Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

The Los Angeles Rams are gearing up for their crucial game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. In the midst of preparations, one of their standout players, Jared Verse, delivered a message regarding the criticism aimed at Philadelphia Eagles‘ star quarterback, Jalen Hurts.

Speaking to the media ahead of the game against the Colts, Verse defended Hurts against those questioning his playing style with the Eagles. “A lot of people say, ‘Oh, he can’t throw, he’s only a runner.’ But the man can throw. He’s an NFL quarterback for a reason. I don’t know why people are saying that stuff,“ Verse stated emphatically to reporters.

Despite the Rams‘ loss to the Eagles in Week 3, Verse’s comments reflect a clear respect for his rival, Hurts. Critics might overlook the fact that Hurts led the Eagles to the Super Bowl last season, and his impact this year continues to be remarkable.

The Eagles’ 3-0 record stands as a testament to Hurts’ continued excellence, notwithstanding the caliber of the opponents the team has faced in the early part of this regular season.
