Difference: Falcons and Eagles QB situation vastly different.

Eagles have Jalen Hurts and the Falcons have Matt Ryan – the two do not have very many similarities between them.

Hurts will be going into his second season in the NFL, while Matt Ryan will be going into his fourteenth season.

Matt Ryan is known as an accurate passer who knows the game of football inside and out, while Jalen Hurts has the ability to create plays with his legs, but during his rookie season, he struggled with consistency and accuracy.

This is hopefully something that will not be fixed in week one, but instead sometime after the Falcons are done playing against him.

Age, experience, playing style, you name it. They are totally different in every regard, the only thing they share in common is their goal of leading underachieving teams into the playoffs when no one expects them to be a factor come January.
