Gotta love Joshua Dobbs but gotta take Jalen Hurts
Like Dobbs, Hurts can wound you with his arm and his legs, but guess who has better numbers if you measure them per snap?
The Alabama freshman averages more yards per carry as a runner (4.77-3.95) and more yards per attempt as a passer (8.2-8.0).
Hurts has taken fewer sacks (14-5). He has a better touchdown-to-interception ratio (9-2 vs. 14-8). He also has a better completion percentage (63.8-58.3) and passer efficiency rating (149.37-141.98).
As a senior, Dobbs has pretty much reached his ceiling as a college quarterback. It's a considerable ceiling, the kind you find in a two-story family room in a gated community, but he doesn't have much more space to grow at this level.
As a true freshman, Jalen Hurts is closer to his floor than his ceiling, and already he stands taller than most starting quarterbacks in the SEC.
@Swagnificent good read
