“Modern-day Bill Belichick and Tom Brady”: ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky compares Philadelphia Eagles HC Nick Sirianni and QB Jalen Hurts to NFL legends

On September 4, Football Analyst Dan Orlovsky made a bold statement on ESPN’s morning show, “Get Up.” The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback called Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni, “Bill Belichick,” and quarterback Jalen Hurts, “Tom Brady.

” Orlovsky provided numerous reasons for his comparison, noting their shared hyper-focus and that Hurts’ private demeanor was like that of Brady when he played. However, the reactions Orlovsky got from the other hosts were noteworthy–Adam Schefter(let out a chuckle), Will Compton(silently smiled), Mike Greenberg(dropped the pen he was holding), and Taylor Lewan(clueless as to what to say that?) Those were the hosts, what about the fans? They went into a wild frenzy! From utter disbelief to total disagreement–from ‘How could Orlovsky’ to ‘We are genuinely concerned!’ Before we delve deeper, let’s hear the former Los Angeles Rams quarterback’s entire monologue.

Jalen Hurts is robotic and not out in public like Tom Brady was when he was playing

On ESPN’s Morning Show, “Get Up,” NFL football analyst Dan Orlovsky expressed, “Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts are the modern-day Bill Belichick and Tom Brady. Just total alignment. Like, you know, I remember Belichick and Brady constantly saying stuff and being like, there’s no way you actually think that or feel that way or you operate like that. And it feels the same way. Jalen’s just robotic and maniacal and very focused. Not out in public like Tom was when he was playing.

And Sirianni, there’s no way that he doesn’t know, but he says, and you’re like, maybe he didn’t really know. Like, the same way that coach Belichick would say stuff when he’d be like, there’s no way that you think that way. It just feels like their alignment and the way that they’re so hyper-focused and blocking out the noise, it’s very Belichick-Brady-like.

A fan said modern-day Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid

“That’s a wild claim”–wrote a fan upon hearing Dan Orlovsky call Jalen Hurts “Tom Brady” and Nick Sirianni “Bill Belichick.”

The fan further stated, “Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid literally exist!” Another commented, “I’m real confused as to how that wouldn’t be Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes… the Eagles were phenomenal last year but the discourse is getting a bit ridiculous at this point.”A third fan called it a “horrible comparison,” and differentiated between them: “Belichick and Brady won Super Bowls because of supreme QB play and coaching.

Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts won because they had the best talent (Hurts has never thrown more than 23 TD passes and rode Barkleys back last year).”

A fourth fan sided with Orlovsky, writing, “For all of the slow people in the comments. He means the focus, ability to block out the noise, and grind under the radar. However, if you judge them at similar times in their respective careers, you'll find the comparison making plenty of sense.”

Dan Orlovsky received sarcastic responses from fans

A fan responded sarcastically, saying, “Yeah, and I’m the modern day Elvis. I mean what are we doing here?” Another fan wrote, “They just give anyone the mic nowadays 😂😂😂.” A third fan commented, “Talking just to talk.” A fourth fan suggested Orlovsky drew the comparison for attention, “Dan Orlovsky running out of bounds for some attention.” A fifth fan questioned, “Dan, what is going on with your takes lately? Genuinely concerned.
