Jaxson Dart’s viral Donald Trump introduction has now pulled Jalen Hurts into the conversation through liberal political commentator Harry Sisson.
The New York Giants quarterback already faced a divided reaction after appearing at a New York rally, leading a “Go Big Blue” chant and introducing Trump to the crowd.
Sisson turned that moment into an NFC East comparison by using the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback as the standard Dart failed to meet, both politically and professionally.
Harry Sisson uses Jalen Hurts to call out Jaxson Dart after Donald Trump introduction
Harry Sisson on X reacted to Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump by bringing Jalen Hurts into the debate.
Sisson wrote, “Jalen Hurts is a better QB in every way on and off the field.”
The line landed because Dart and Hurts already have a football connection. During the draft process, Dart said he had tried to model parts of his game after Hurts, whose development from college transfer to Super Bowl-winning quarterback became a blueprint for several young dual-threat passers.
That made Hurts an easy comparison point once Dart’s political appearance went viral, especially for critics who viewed the Giants quarterback’s rally appearance as a poor offseason decision.
Jalen Hurts contrast makes Jaxson Dart Donald Trump backlash even sharper
Hurts’ name was also used because his own Trump-related moment went in the opposite direction.
After the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, Hurts did not attend the White House celebration with Trump, a move that drew praise from progressive fans who saw it as a quiet boundary rather than a loud political statement.
Dart, by contrast, stood on stage and introduced Trump directly, calling it an honor and a privilege before the president later praised him during the event.
That difference gave Sisson a simple frame: Hurts as the accomplished, disciplined, and selective franchise quarterback, and Dart as the younger, less proven player stepping into a divisive political spotlight before fully establishing himself with the Giants.
The reaction split along familiar lines. Trump supporters defended Dart and praised him for appearing publicly, while critics argued he had given Giants fans an unnecessary distraction before the season.
