Steve Young with a Disrespectful Cropping

Who is cropping these photos, Howard Eskin?
It’s a gathering of Super Bowl MVPs. Look at all of the star power in this photo. Jalen Hurts, Peyton Manning, Lynn Swann, Tom Brady, Emmett Smith, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Joe Montana, and whoever that is on the right. Justin Herbert, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen nowhere to be found!
And don’t act like Jalen Hurts doesn’t belong. Jalen’s 2023 and 2025 Super Bowl performances were miles better than anything Sam Darnold or Drake Maye did last night. He should have two rings. In SBs 57 and 59 he went 44 for 60 (73.3%) for 525 passing yards, 8 total touchdowns (rushing included), 142 ground yards, with one pick and one fumble. He’s been just as good as anybody in the big game.
Jalen will bounce back in a big way in 2026. You heard it here first.
