NFL Comparison
Tim Tebow
Overview
Like Tim Tebow, Hurts is a winning dual-threat quarterback known for his strength, toughness and character. Hurts is a more accurate passer and better runner than Tebow but is inconsistent as a decision-maker and tends to break the pocket when throws are there to be made. His deep-ball touch and intermediate accuracy improved this year so teams may see him as a developmental talent who will keep getting better in the right scheme. He'll struggle to beat NFL defenses from the pocket, but his ability to grind out yards on the ground and make off-schedule plays should make him a solid backup with upward mobility.
Strengths
Finished with 38-4 record as a starter
Tremendous leadership qualities
Extremely tough and durable
Shows poise to make plays late in games
Has experience in a variety of schemes
Able to step and drive with adequate velocity
Uses athletic ability and strength to elude pocket pressure
Play extender who can make big plays on the move
Good accuracy on intermediate passes
Capable as rollout passer
Talented, powerful runner from direct snap and RPO
Leg drive to move piles and fall forward behind his pads
Weaknesses
Has issues sustaining rhythm as passer with so many off-schedule throws
Inconsistent patience allowing routes to develop
Slow recognition of early throw opportunities
Leaves slants and crossers behind targets
Misses checkdowns and opts for harder throws
Deep arm dip into elongated release
Forced speedsters at OU and Alabama to slow for deep throws
Needs to get better at trusting his pocket
Quick to drop his eyes when pressure mounts
More likely to void pocket than climb, scan and throw from it
