“Best game I’ve seen him play. He was absolutely dominant. The trust he had with the football, the control he had with the football, the placement he had with the football. I remember watching him throw against the Giants this year and coming on and saying: ‘I have never seen a quarterback improve as a passer as Jalen Hurts has done. And [Sunday] was even more impressive … This guy five years ago was benched because he couldn’t throw the ball well enough … Philadelphia, he’s got a chance to be the best quarterback they’ve ever had.”
