As we head into one of the more hyped Iron Bowls ever, the quarterback matchup between Alabama's Jalen Hurts and Auburn's Jarrett Stidham bears watching.

It's an interesting stylistic clash between the uber-mobile Hurts and the more pocket-steady Stidham. But you might make the case that the two quarterbacks are on the wrong teams.

Would Alabama's pro-style offense be better off with Stidham under center? Would Hurts pile up even bigger numbers in Auburn's run-heavy scheme?

It's an interesting question. First, let's compare the two in how they have performed this season and in their careers.

Many will tell you that the most important measure of a starting quarterback is winning. Rightly or wrongly, quarterbacks are judged that way more than any other position in any sport.

It's difficult to argue with Hurts' bottom line. He's 24-1 as a starter, including 11-0 this year and 15-0 in SEC games.

Stidham is 9-2 as Auburn's starter this year. Add in a 2-1 record in 2015 at Baylor and he's 11-3, which is not bad.

So both are winners, though Hurts wins more (some would argue the quality of his teammates are responsible for a lot of that difference, though how much is up to interpretation). Just about every Alabama quarterback under Nick Saban has won big, from converted running back Blake Sims to the statuesque, strong-armed Jake Coker.

What about statistically?

For the season, Hurts has completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 1,828 yards with 14 touchdowns and just one interception. He's added 686 yards and eight touchdowns rushing, averaging 5.8 yards per carry (and impressive stat, considering he's been sacked 19 times).

Stidham has completed 67.8 percent of his passes for 2,445 yards with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions. He doesn't offer much as a runner, with just 102 yards, three touchdowns and a 1.5 yards-per-carry average (he's been sacked 24 times).

Those statistics tell us what we already knew -- Stidham is a better passer and Hurts is a far, far better runner.

But what about in just SEC games?

Stidham has completed 65.8 percent of his passes for 1,582 yards with 12 touchdowns and one interception. His passing efficiency mark of 173.7 is tops among SEC starters.

Hurts has completed 57.1 percent of his passes for 1,176 yards and seven touchdowns with one interception. His passing efficiency of 142.8 ranks fifth among SEC starters, behind Stidham, Ole Miss' Jordan Ta'amu (who replaced Shea Patterson a month ago), Georgia's Jake Fromm and Missouri's Drew Lock.

Stidham ranks second behind Lock in total offense in SEC games at 241.3 yards per contest. Hurts is eighth with 217.1 yards per game, though it's worth noting he's been pulled early in a number of SEC games because Alabama had a huge lead.

Yards per attempt is an often-overlooked stat that tells you a lot about a quarterback's passing ability. In SEC games, Stidham averages 10 yards per throw, Hurts 8.6.

So would Hurts fit Auburn's offense better and Stidham fit Alabama's? It seems so, on the surface.

Hurts would give the Tigers an approximation of Nick Marshall as a rusher, and an even better passer. He'd also taking the rushing load off Kerryon Johnson and make the read option and RPOs a serious threat for Auburn again the way they were in 2013 and 2014.

Stidham would likely be able to spread the ball around better to Alabama's outstanding corp of young receivers. Calvin Ridley is again having a strong year, but you could argue that Jerry Jeudy, Devonta Smith and Henry Ruggs have been underutilized.

Stidham could do for them what he's done for Eli Stove and Darius Slayton. The Crimson Tide is deep enough at running back that it wouldn't necessarily need a running threat at quarterback.

So as fans, would you like to see a switch? Or are you happy with what you have?
