re: Nick Fitzgerald or Shea Patterson? Who would you want as your QB

A large number of posters on here act like Hurts is one of the worst QBs they've seen

He was a very bad passer that arguably cost his team a National Championship in year one. His passing limitations were covered up well by Lane Kiffin's scheme and play-calling. We all remember how terrible he was down the stretch, though. He also played 15 games, so he was able to accumulate stats more than others that played 13-14.

That being said, he's still a dual threat quarterback and doesn't have to rely on his arm. He can run, and does it well. I would hope he makes a big jump as a passer in year 2 or he will be passed by Tua Tango. It's yet to be seen, IMO, being that I don't go by spring games, but I'll be interested to see how the offense looks in general during 2017.
