"We Won The Fuckin' Game, Shut Your Ass Up" - Jalen Hurts Had No Time For A Salty Ass Chris Jones At The End Of The Game
First of all, Chris Jones can shut the fuck up. Jalen threw for 101 yards, so not only is Chris Jones and asshole but he's also an incorrect asshole.
Second of all...That right there? That is my quarterback.
Everyone is so obsessed with stats these days. I don't know if it's because of the popularity of fantasy football. I don't know if it's because analytics have allowed nerds to infiltrate the world of sports. I don't know if it's because of the trajectory of sports talk media, and the rise a hot takery. But all anybody wants to talk about these days to determine the best players in the league are stats.
Yards. QB rating. Completion percentage. All these goddamn numbers, but everybody seems to forget the one stat that means the most.
Winning. You play to win the game. When you look at a team's record, it just has two numbers. A number for wins, and a number for losses. It doesn't have a number for wins, and then a little description about how the team won that game. A record doesn't have another column for "games a team won but the quarterback only threw for 101 yards". It's about wins, and it's about losses. That's all Jalen Hurts cares about, and that's all anybody should care about. And right now, there's nobody in football who wins like Jalen Hurts.
