"actually what he really reminds me of is a black, right handed version of tebow"
Similar runners though Hurts has more top-end speed and Tebow used his power more. Hurts usually doesn't use his power unless he thinks he needs it: TD or first down, otherwise he runs out bounds or goes down easily. Neither have any quickness. Hurts has good vision and is strong as an ox, especially in the lower body.
IMO, Hurts is a better passer. He definitely has a much stronger arm and a much quicker release. He is improving significantly in reading defenses and seeing the field. Contrary to what some say, he has a definite shot at the NFL, though he must continue to improve his vision and decision-making.
Both are great leaders. Each time, without exception, that Bama has been threatened under Hurts, he has led them to a TD on the very next possession: OM, A&M, UT, Clemson, FSU. He is an amazing leader and a great performer in the clutch. Except for a brief time in the first half of the OM game, no team has had the lead and the ball while Hurts was QB.
With all of Bama's talent, IMO, he and his leadership are the primary reasons that Bama has a legitimate chance to win a championship this year. Though he has a cool exterior, he is driven and works like Saban. He was 17 when he was first battling for the job last fall camp; he just turned 19 in August.
