re: Legit question on Jalen Hurts career going forward

He did make some good throws. He's got good short to mid range accuracy. But it helps when your future NFL OL gives you all day to find a target and your future NFL WR makes great catches. The type of talent Bama has can make you look better. I mean, Greg McElroy won yall a NC and he couldnt even get on the field at Texas Tech. Thats not a knock on Hurts. I like him as a player and he seems like a really good kid.

Most great passers you can tell early on what kind of potential they have. I just don't see Hurts as an elite passer. Comparing him to McCarron is a compliment. If you remember AJ was a Heisman runner up. He's a good player that demands a roster spot and does well when called upon, he's just not next level elite.

And yall remember I'm not comparing his playing style to McCarron, that's not what OP asked. OP asked how do you see his career going. I think Hurts is more capable of carrying a team and is further along at this stage than mccarron. I just see their career paths being similar.


Yall don't be so sensitive and learn to take a compliment. Just because I don't declare everything about Bama and all their players GOAT doesn't mean I'm trying to knock yall
