I would take serviceable from Hurts but you have to have a great team around him and we are not there. I think we are more talented on offense than we seem and Hurts' 1 read and bail is a big issue and coach's play calling hasn't helped either. Is the play calling a microcosm of Hurts' limitations none of us know but we can surely speculate from what we have seen.
I mean Dilfer and Johnson won Superbowls for Christ sake but their defense were other worldly which we are not. So I just go from what I see which is his athleticism helps him make some plays but his lack of arm strength, ability to read his progressions and hit open receivers consistently is glaring. Can it be fixed, maybe. That is for pro's to decide. My Monday morning couch QB opinion is some college players are amazing in college but their skills cannot translate to the NFL i.e. Tim Tebow, Akili Smith, Vince Young, Johnny Manziel, Marcus Mariota and Mr. Ohio State himself who all the pundits were salivating over and couldn't believe wasn't drafted in the top 3, Dwayne Haskins.
Just because you won in college, at top schools, doesn't mean you will make it in the NFL. Players like Lamar are an aberration not the norm.
Edit to add: he does seem like a nice guy and good team player I am sure we can all agree there.
