Marshawn Lynch criticizes media double standards for NFL quarterbacks

Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch has criticized the media for what he describes as a double standard in how quarterbacks are evaluated. Speaking on the “Da Get Got Pod,” Lynch argued that Jalen Hurts faces disproportionate scrutiny and “prove-it” narratives compared to other players like Justin Herbert.

The debate follows comments from ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky, who suggested that Herbert’s physical stature represents what the quarterback position “should look like.” Lynch and co-host Mike Robinson questioned whether such evaluations prioritize physical prototypes and specific narratives over actual team success and winning.
