NFL Fans Call for Dan Orlovsky Job After Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert Comments
Social media users accused the ESPN analyst of racial bias after he said Justin Herbert is what a quarterback should look like.
- On Friday, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky defended his comparison of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Los Angeles Chargers Justin Herbert on "Unsportsmanlike," facing backlash after suggesting Herbert represents "what it should look like" playing quarterback.
- Orlovsky admitted he was initially skeptical of Hurts, favoring former Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz, explaining his past critical stance stemmed from seeing Hurts replace Wentz as the Eagles starter.
- Social media users labeled Orlovsky's "that's what it should look like" comment regarding Herbert as racist, though the analyst argued his remark referred to pocket-passer archetypes and that he has "so far removed myself from doubting Hurts, no matter what situation."
- Later on Friday, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III defended Hurts with a public response to Orlovsky's comments, delivering what observers characterized as a "not-so-veiled shot" at the analyst.
- Despite Hurts' status as a Super Bowl champion, the debate persists between valuing traditional pocket passers like Herbert versus athletic dual-threat quarterbacks, with critics still favoring prototypical builds over proven performance.
