I’m not comparing Hurts to Lamar because they’re 2 different kinds of QB’s but what you said is exactly what analysts and scouts were saying about Lamar and look how that played out. Hurts can play, if he doesn’t get drafted to somebody with a shytty coach, he’ll be successful

I hear y'all, I'm just saying I don't see 3-4 rounds of difference in Kyler, Baker and Jalen.
. I'll stand by that and will agree to disagree with you guys. Maybe the truth is all three of them are really 2nd-3rd round QBs and the first too were overrated, but time will tell. But I cant see a scenario where he doesn't belong in the league

Eh. The difference is that Lamar did more with much less talent surrounding him. I mean, ffs, the nikka won a heisman at Louisville of all places.
Also, Lamar had poise, anticipation, and pocket presence his Junior year.

Just because they said the same about Lamar doesnt mean Hurts is somehow being under valued. Lamar was a first rounder. A team built around him. Jalen may have lost first round status late in the season. Teams rarely build around later picks at qb
Without looking it up can you name the other starting receivers on OU’s roster other than Lamb?
The Ravens didn’t really build around Lamar. They just gave him more speed, which is what every QB needs. I just hope a coach doesn’t try to change him into something he’s not. If Dak can do well in the league then Hurts can

Should Never Mention Me
You absolutely cannot compare Lamar to Jalen because Lamar is better than him at every single aspect of football.
Even "Jalen grown at OU" thing shouldn't be lining up for you when you compare Kyler's production to his. The only statistical advanges he has on Kyler are inflated. 2 point higher pass percentage (Jalen has 70 less attempts and Kyler's percentage was higher until the Bama game), and rushing yards (Jalen has more yards and TD's...but on 80 more attempts, Kyler averaged more per carry).
And those are just numbers. When you watch the games and look at how Kyler was moving through reads and dropping impeccable dimes all over the field whereas Jalen regularly gives up on winnable snaps and leaves the pocket/leaves open receivers there's absolutely 3-4 rounds between them. That's the gap right there between a guy you think is a franchise QB and someone who is a project.
And the "that's what they said about Lamar" shyt...ya'll talking like Lamar was slept on out of the draft. He was a first round pick and the starter before the end of his rookie season with an offense built around him. You're letting the hyperbole conflict with what actually happened.
Bet we'll know all their names next year when Rattler can move past his first read and get the ball to them
Rambo is legit and should have been a bigger part of their offense this year.

As a Clemson fan, I remember thinking "we need to make him throw it more" That's not a good sign brah.

Dak is a smarter qb than Jalen. Hes just inaccurate.

There's some talent there but he has to go to a team like the ravens that's all in him, and will tear down everything and build an offense completely around his strengths.
He's not gonna have Lincoln Riley and that offense that makes everybody put up good looking numbers. If he gets drafted to a team that forces him into a traditional 5-7 step drop under the center offense, then it could get ugly.

Of course he's smarter than Hurts, he's been in a NFL system, Jalen is still in college breh
You're comparing a college QB IQ, who hasn't played a down in the NFL to a QB that's played several downs in the NFL. come on breh
College defenses and NFL defenses are not the same.

Most likely wont happen. Shotgun has mostly taken over
https://www.sharpfootballstats.com/snap-rates--shotgun-v-under-center--off-.html
Not sure how accurate that is, but if it is, only 5 teams take the majority of their snaps under center vs shotgun.
And of 30 teams. Of those small amount of plays under center, 0 teams when taking snaps under center pass more than they run. So most likely he goes to a shotgun team, and the few snaps he'll take under center will most likely be hand-offs/pitches. Its still a skill he'll have to work on though.
Nope. Wtf is that supposed to mean tho
? A lot of nikkas probably don't know who Michael Thomas is, but does determine his impact of the field? Hell no....and Dak in his senior year was a better passer than Hurts is currently. Come on, breh
