Twitter: Cowboys interview Jalen Hurts

[ItzKelz]

I would definitely take that bet.

He isn't a top 3.

Who are your top 3? A QB that makes Romo look healthy, a one year wonder and Winston Jr?

 

[HellCrowe]

Will this be another Zeke vs Pollard scenario? Oh the drama!!

 

[reddyuta]

at draft time 4 years ago i thought Prescott was not good enough but he was way better than connor Cook and i was thankful we didnt draft him.imo Hurts is not as good as Dak as a passer but he way better runner.If we draft him its not as a backup.

 

[Einstein]

Hurts will end up being the best QB in this class.

Agreed. I see the Pat's taking him.

 

[joseephuss]

I'm guessing they are think Hurts may be there in the 4th or later.

Jeremiah has him as top 50 prospect,i think he is going early in the 2nd RD.

I don't think Dallas will be spending a 2nd on him. At least I hope not.

 

[Nav22]

A large faction of the mouth-breathing Dak haters won’t be fans of Jalen Hurts either.

He doesn’t look the part, in their eyes.

 

[reddyuta]

I don't think Dallas will be spending a 2nd on him. At least I hope not.

me neither,some team will take a chance on him.

 

[Daillest88]

Hurts is the sleeper qb of this draft. Someone will grab him in the 2nd.

 

[Rayman70]

hurts is really inaccurate...much better on his deep ball when he moves. Earliest I take him is round 4. We have too many other needs.

 

[Skillit]

I wouldn't mind a bit if they took him in round three.

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.

All of this— and how he handled losing his job (with class) transferring schools and restructuring his mechanics while checking his ego only to lead one of the most prolific and effective air attacks in college football.

I’d overdraft him. I like Dak, but the price tag doesn’t equal production and he doesn’t accept a smaller number for a better team to be built around him (can’t blame him there) for championship contention.

If Hurts can continue to develop- he has the ability to replace what Dak currently is.

Hurts is just as good as Dak as a passer coming out of college and a better runner.

[RustyBourneHorse]

Good idea by Jerry and Co.

 

[Kwyn]

Interesting.........one thing I've heard about this kid is character and leadership is off the chart.

I’d love to have him as a backup to Dak. He’s not going to get a starting job anywhere but there are teams with unproven or aging started that could take a **** at him

I expect him to go in the third round. A team like Jacksonville or the Colts maybe.

Your assessment is inaccurate

 

[Rayman70]

Your assessment is inaccurate

I WATCHED 2 GAMES WHERE HE CONSTANTLY MISSED WIDE OPEN GUYS UNDERNEATH. We can agree to disagree I guess. He's sloppy...but other times when hes on, hes unstoppable. He is a NFL PROJECT in my opinion. There's a reason hes projected round 3 or later by experts.

 

[BigD5]

Jalen Hurts cannot play QB. He doesn’t know how to make reads fast enough for college. Much less the NFL. Strong arm. Great character. Average accuracy. Zero ability to read defenses or anticipate throws

He CANNOT play. Don’t waste your time drafting him

 

[Rayman70]

hes very inconsistent..needs time and coaching.
