On Tuesday, Dan Katz, also known as Barstool Big Cat, compared Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to Russell Wilson. In an episode of "Wake Up Barstool," Katz said that Hurts, like Wilson, needs a strong team to be successful. Katz also added that Hurts' career trajectory might be similar to Wilson's, before suggesting both of them were tier 2 QBs.

When former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho caught wind of Katz's comments, he ripped the Barstool Sports personality.

"Everyday, people prove they didn’t watch Russell Wilson play professional football," Acho tweeted in response to Katz's comments later on Tuesday.

Wilson, 37, is currently the QB3 for the New York Giants. However, he has earned incredible achievements in his career, including 10 Pro Bowl honors.

Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to two Super Bowls during his 10 years with the team from 2012 to 2021, winning the team's first and only Lombardi Trophy in 2014.

Hurts, on the other hand, has led the Eagles to two Super Bowls in the past three seasons. He won his first Super Bowl last season.

Hurts has been under fire this season for not getting the best out of his teammates on offense. There have also been reports of some players being 'frustrated' at the QB's play calling.

The Eagles (8-5) have now lost three games in a row, but are still leading the NFC East. They will be aiming to snap their losing streak when they face the Las Vegas Raiders (2-11) in Week 15 on Sunday.
