Jalen Hurts

[ShotgunDawg]

Saw this on saints' board...

% of uncatchably off-target throws targeting when an OPEN receiver 5-18 yards downfield in 2019:

Tua 4.3%
Hurts 5.0%
Burrow 5.1%
Love 14.1%
Herbert 18.1%

...

Not sure where it was lifted from or even if it's accurate, but found it interesting

Amazing that the 3 QBs with the best WRs in the country and that throw to wide open people are off target less

I would think an open receiver is open whether he's good or not.

I would think an open receiver is open whether he's good or not.

The best WRs are almost always the quickest, fastest, and most athletic, thus making their ability track down balls and create bigger room for accuracy error greater.

It's not hard to figure out. Give those 3 QBs MSU's WRs, and those numbers aren't near as good.

It had nothing to do with actually catching ball... just whether the ball was accurate to an open receiver. Again though, this stat could be totally bogus.

Yeah, those qualities are known as a 4th round pick

Yeah but they killed Dak over the DWI....that cost him 2 rounds ....look at the clowns taken ahead of him Lynch, Hackenberg, Brissett, and Cook .which were all jokes...

No doubt. Dak was mis-evaluated. QB is the hardest position on the planet to evaluate

yes, but accuracy can depend on the the speed of the WRs. Think how many times you've seen an MSU QB overthrow a deep ball in the last 5 years. If we have Henry Ruggs, Waddle, or Jeudy, are those overthrown? The larger margin for error makes things look more accurate & that's not even considering the clean pocket they stand in due to 5 star OL

Everyone is so damn enamored with the thought of finding the next Taysom Hill thanks to the Saints. If a team picks a Jalen Hurts over a Lynn Bowden Jr.(UK) it just shows how crazy some of these reaches are in the draft. Draft rounds 1-4 are where you are trying to get your surefire prospects who are starters, not your random reach players who will Never play QB in the NFL. Jalen is a great Athlete and a great dude but just not a QB in the NFL to say the least.
