NFL legend and Hall of Famer Terrell Owens has just reignited a fiery debate after publicly roasting former MVP quarterback Cam Newton for leaving Jalen Hurts off his Top 10 quarterback list—on Newton’s own podcast “4th and 1”.

Cam ranked stars like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes ahead of Hurts. He even included younger talent such as Jayden Daniels and C.J. Stroud, writing off Hurts by suggesting he benefits too much from his team’s elite offense and defense.

But Owens wasn’t having it.

“Don’t be mad,” Owens fired back on Instagram, accusing Newton of bizarre attention-seeking and lack of football sense.

Joining in solidarity, NFL icons Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson backed Owens, defending Hurts’ championship-winning leadership and pointing out that his supporting cast rivals those of legendary quarterbacks like Troy Aikman and Joe Montana. Hurts’ stats—nearly 15,000 passing yards, 140 total touchdowns, and more than 55 rushing touchdowns—speak volumes.

The whole exchange has the NFL world buzzing: fans see it as a major validation of Hurts’ status, while critics argue Newton’s list lacked context. The response from Eagles supporters has been overwhelmingly supportive of Owens—and dismissive of Newton’s claims.

Why It’s Striking a Nerve:

• Winner vs. Past Glory: Hurts led the Eagles to Super Bowl glory while the spotlight remains on Newton’s past.
• Personality Clash: Owens is known for his unfiltered commentary—and he delivered once again.
• Generational Divide: Newton’s list felt like an old-school perspective clashing with today’s rising talents and modern analytics.

Hate the drama—or love it, the internet’s torn:

Fans have flocked to social media to debate:

• Is Jalen Hurts underrated or overrated?
• Did Cam Newton get called out fairly?
• Have the careers of elite QBs really shifted in the new NFL era?
