There are only 17 games in an NFL season, but the 24-hour news cycle requires those in the media to give opinions even when they have nothing to say. This can lead to some pretty hot/ridiculous takes on occasion.
Former No. 1 overall pick and current NFL Network analyst David Carr riled up fans this week when he suggested the Eagles should bench Jalen Hurts for former Falcons quarterback Marcus Mariota.
It’s hard to imagine any scenario in which Mariota would be an upgrade over Hurts, but let’s see what Carr had to say.

Jalen Hurts could have ACL tears in both knees and 2 torn labrums and he’d still be a better option than Marcus Mariota… 😂 https://t.co/ZUnWlD4VYc

So let’s get this straight…. you defend your brothers piss poor performances and play for years and he should never be benched…..but the top team in the NFC should bench their leader and top QB in the league for a guy who’s arguably the same level as your Bros play. 🚮🗑 https://t.co/hOuvnEGkER pic.twitter.com/gFfqBxOZRx

people always say they’ll know what to do when they encounter abuse but what do you do when a network forces a man with brain damage to say things like this on television https://t.co/RCLTgAcGTL

I usually never bother acknowledging this sort of foolishness, but what are we doing here? Some of these takes the past two days have been asinine. https://t.co/919KpNCVij
