i don't think Cam could survive much less thrive at AU with the Oline we may run out there this year. Stidam may want to go buy himself a LT on the grad transfer market or heavily invest is a disability insurance policy for next season.
I think Jalen compares pretty favorably to Nick Marshall: Dynamic runner with mediocre passing abililty, particularly in intermediate throws, but a cannon for an arm, and decent touch on the deep ball. If Gus would go back to his 2013 Offense, I'd take Hurts in a heartbeat.
NM14 had a way better arm imo. People may think I’m nuts but I think Hurts is the way better runner though just bc he’s so damn powerful
If NM stepped on campus today with 4 years of eligibility, he would graduate without ever playing any meaningful snaps because Gus is retarded

I’d say this is a pretty fair assessment. NM14 was more dynamic, but Jalen is probably just a bit better overall. What made NM14 special in the run game was his uncanny ability to read the option perfectly nearly every single time. Not sure if Hurts could be as efficient there..
Edit to say that I didn’t see the WAY better part. That makes it kind of silly.
As much as I hate to disagree with two of the GREG'S GREATEST, I simply must. I'll take Nick all day every day. Dem flooid hippppsssss.
NOTE: This assumes a true zone read offense like he ran in 2013 and never should have abandoned. Gus literally has no other scheme that's worth a shit.
I always thought the ‘Great minds think alike’ mantra was silly anyway..
I’ll take nm14 over Jalen any day. Just think Jalen is the better runner
Give me NARSHALL... No way you'd ever have a game where the corch took NARSHALL out because some freshman Hawaiian kid was a better option. NARSHALL took a group of mediocre ballplayers to the Natty. Hurts is pretty good, and I'd love to have him now, but no way I'd take him over NM14
In fairness, Narshall could be benched if you had an NFL style OC who didn't understand how to use a guy like Narshall.
If there is a single chink in the Saban armor its that he hires guys to run offenses he doesn't want to run. The guy doesn't want someone to air it out, but he keeps hiring guys that want to do exactly that. All NFL guys want to throw the ball. If you plugged Jalen into the 2013 Auburn offense, he would probably be pretty stinking good.
