Mr Brent Sobleski wrote an article Jalen Hurts is the right Prospect to succeed Tom Brady In New England. While this may be unpopular with many Patriots fans as they have other names, This could be a good fit. Let's look at What Brent had to say.
Jalen Hurts is receiving praise among scouts, analysts and fans, especially in Patriots Nation.
Stidham is receiving high praise from those within the Patriots organization. With the situation that happened and benefited Stidham in 2019, with the way scouts and analysts talk about Stidham coming out of college, and not wanting to damage Stidham's confidence, of course the Patriots are giving Stiddy high praise.
We saw this kinda misdirection with Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson from the Patriots. The question is, were the Ravens the team Belichick was trying to bait and did he get his man.
Thus far, The Patriots are making it seem like They're confident in Stidham but Tua Tagovailoa, Jordan Love, Jacob Love, and James Morgan are receiving a little too much attention from the Patriots.
While Brady wasn't the first NFL royalty to come from Later rounds, he is the biggest example that of how flawed the scouting and draft process is. Players drafted the 199th overall, are not supposed to be the greatest of all time.
Baltimore looks like an odd on Favorite to to trade up with New England and surrender the number 28 pick in both the first and second round to acquire the number 23rd pick.
according to Donnie Druin of SI. , Now back to Brent Sobleski.
The Patriots have loved the Quick pass since Brady took over. Fans fondly remember the no huddle five wide empty backfield quick pass screens. Joey Bosa and the Chargers know how much the Patriots like the quick pass attack.
If the Patriots have a quarterback under center who can mimic that, teams are gonna be in for a long season. This would require receivers to get seperation, however.
As long as he can play to the projected levels of both, If you told any member of Patriots Nation the future quarterback would be a hybrid of Murray and Mayfield, I think they would have stars in their eyes and dreams of dancing superbowl trophies in the heads.
In the modern day NFL true pocket passers are slowly becoming obsolete. Quarterbacks need to be able to scramble. Jalen Hurts will stand in the pocket and take a hit but he will also make defenses pay with his legs.
Hurts already has a Patriots connection and knows some of the Patriots playbook. This would give Hurts an advantage if he is handed the Patriots full playbook and would allow for it to be opened up rather quickly. It normally takes over three seasons before teams open their playbooks with rookie quarterbacks.
Many teams are running an RPO in the NFL. With the ever changing landscape, teams must adapt and the ability to use the RPO is a valuable asset. While Brady May have juked Brian Urlacher, he wasn't having that kind of success versus many. Hurts is a running back who can throw. Maybe not a running back on Lamar Jackson's level but still one never the less.
While getting to learn from many can add valuable knowledge, it can also cause regression and stint growth. Hurts' mechanical development is one thing he was always criticized about, that might not been his fault but the fault of his NCAA teams.
Hurts remains confident and that is something needed in a quarterback. Hurts' will need the work ethic to match. He needs to come in, look the staff in the eye with laser focus and say he "will do everything in his power to make sure the team continues their success." Hurts needs to be a machine, a terminator.
Hurts already smart enough to implement the Patriots way and not give up too much. This could've been hurts trying to impress Belichick or the answers the Patriots may have asked him to give. It also could be just coincidence but it sure sounds like a Patriots answer.
Before I finish Sobleski's last thought, let's take a look at Hurts' NFL Comparison according to Lineups.com
While I had agreed with Mike Larry's comment earlier in the article, about Hurts's reminding of Russell Wilson, Cam was an MVP who had taken taken his team to the superbowl. The Patriots are a better organization than the Panthers and won't put Hurts in a situation to fail. The one thing the Patriots offer any rookie is stability.
Sobleski did a good job to show what Hurts offers the Patriots organization, and leaves us with these final thoughts.
Whether it's Stidham, Hurts, or someone else all we can do is put out the battle call "Next Man Up", see who answers and remember our motto "In Bill We Trust".
