The champagne dried months ago. The confetti is long gone. But Jalen Hurts? He’s still not smiling. At the Eagles’ ring ceremony, teammates were flashing their new bling with pride. Hurts, the Super Bowl MVP, was…ringless. Just a quarterback already past the party. Classic Hurts. Even when he wins it all, he’s too busy chasing the next thing to stop and admire the trophy. That mindset? It might just be his not-so-subtle memo to the locker room: vacation’s over – time to get back to work.
And the fans? They noticed. Some were amused, joking that he probably stuffed the ring in a drawer next to his socks. Others felt it. Because that’s the kind of quarterback Philly rides for. A guy who wins the Super Bowl, shrugs and immediately starts prepping for the next one. “I’ve moved on,” Hurts said. “I’ve moved on to the new year and it’s as simple as that.”
“I’ve moved on. I’ve moved on to the new year and it’s as simple as that.”

And yet, the league still found a way to disrespect him. ESPN just dropped its annual QB rankings. Patrick Mahomes? Number one. Jalen Hurts? Ninth. He literally won the Super Bowl and outplayed Mahomes on that very stage. But sure, go ahead and pretend Mahomes’ Chiefs offense was better.
While Mahomes struggled like never before, Hurts went 12-3 and surgically dismantled three NFC playoff defenses. The man has four straight 10+ rushing TD seasons. He’s a walking highlight reel with leadership intangibles baked into every snap. Still, no love. But Hurts doesn’t need to tweet. Or pout. Or flash his ring. His silence says it all: the Eagles better be locked in. Because QB1 already is.
