The Eagles are in the Super Bowl. And if you had told us that would be the case 6 months ago, it probably would have been a bit surprising. But from early in the season, it became clear this team was special. They crushed both teams in their path in the playoffs. Not because they were lucky, but because they were just that good. But, we did not know they were this good before the season. Most of us saw a much-improved team, but not the best team in the league. And we were wrong. Which is why the question of the day today on The Best Show Ever was, what were you the most wrong about when it comes to this Eagles team?
Maybe it is Jalen Hurts. There were a lot of Eagles fans not too confident in him coming into the season. Many of us at the station were guilty of it. Several people were even heavy on the train to make a trade for Russell Wilson. But Jalen Hurts didn’t just improve, he turned into a Super Star. He is an MVP finalist. While the award will likely go to Patrick Mahomes, especially after Jalen Hurts missed time with an injured shoulder, it is still quite the feat considering where he was coming from.
Or perhaps it was Jonathan Gannon. Besides Hurts no one on this team faced more questions coming into the year. But with a new defense, stacked with talent, he turned a struggling defense into one of the best in the league. Though in his case, there are still many doubters who think the defense is good in spite of him.
Here are the answers we got from you on Twitter…
