Entering the draft this year, many scouts touted Love as perhaps the next Patrick Mahomes. That’s a stretch to say the least, but some of Love’s highlights of him improvising are reminiscent of some of the Mahomes magic we’ve grown accustomed to over the past few years.
Hurts really helped his draft stock by going to Oklahoma and playing under Lincoln Riley. His numbers were outstanding, and he would’ve taken home the Heisman Trophy if Joe Burrow didn’t have the best season a college quarterback has ever had.
When it comes to projecting how these two will fair in the NFL, Love has everything you’d like to see in a franchise quarterback, while Hurts obviously leaves a lot to be desired. Sitting behind Rodgers will benefit Love greatly and it’ll buy him time to hone in his raw talent.
Hurts arm talent doesn’t come close to Love’s, and while he’ll also have time to develop behind an established quarterback, there’s a solid chance he may never even see the field in Philly if Wentz can stay healthy.
When it’s all said and done, Jordan Love should have the better career.
