Former Pro Bowl fullback and current NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson had already been called out on social media after floating a theory last week about Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.
“This is just me outside looking in," he said afterHurts' initial blood clot diagnosis. “I don’t know nothing, guys. But it looked like they were trying to pin the outcome of this season on Jalen Hurts, just so that they can have an excuse later on to move on from Jalen Hurts.”
"And, again, I’m not saying I know nothing, guys," he continued. "But if I’m just playing devil’s advocate here, and I’m thinking that way, if I’m Jalen Hurts, or anybody in Jalen Hurts’ camp, I’m saying, ‘Well if everybody’s hurt, I’m hurt, too.’"
“if I'm Jalen Hurts − or
anybody in Jalen Hurts' camp − I'm saying, 'Well if everybody's hurt, I'm hurt, too.' “To me, it looked like Jalen is kind of getting himself out of the fray so that this lost season..he's pulling himself out so that this doesn't look like it's on me." pic.twitter.com/nqw8J8emov
