Getting in the game will expose flaws, clear-up some nerves, and can show what really needs to be worked on... it will not develop you into a quarterback. Having a great QB coach and plan for development in the off-season and during early spring/fall practice is where a QB will by in large...

Lol just no... Especially for QB. Look at Jalen's development this year ... on the bench. Tua developed from being heavily dependent on the run at the end of HS to dominating the second half of the NCG because of the elite 11 camp, off season workouts, and going against our great defense in...

Real development happens in practice NOT in the games. Just look at Tua last year. B1GTIDE, glad you edited that post.

What you say is correct IMO, but I don't think people realize how simplified the offense already is to accommodate hurts. It really limits what a play caller can do.... to the point where Clemson was saying how they knew exactly what we were running last year.

Tua came here planning to win the job and compete. If It's obvious that he's a better QB and still has to ride the bench why would he stay... it would be clear Saban is playing favorites. Saban plays the best players at DB and on defense for the most part because he's involved with them a lot...

This x1000... it won't likely be the case with Jalen at QB AND Saban insisting on 50/50 run pass (in reference to sustained drives).

Play to win, Harris needs to dominate the carries with Jacobs mixing in occasionally. Didn't Harris have more YPC than Bo last year in the Clemson game... Why we didn't use him more is beyond me. Honestly it looks like a lot of favoritism with the RB coach. Harris should be dominating the # of...

For sure.

If Hurts isn't completing passes and distributing the ball to our play makers then he needs to be benched. Simply not turning the ball over isn't going to win this game. Hurts running the ball isn't going to win this game. It will result in multiple/consective 3 and outs, for every big run he...

This is called a reverse line movement. It's in our favor imo.

Based on the body language of the receivers when Tua is in the game... especially Ridley, I'd say they know who the better passer is.

It's not outrageous, sounds like he thinks our offense will continue to sputter vs good def. Or Greg might be playing politics with ESPN, which is more and more political these days The over/under for this game is pretty low. And Alabama went from pickem or (+1) to laying (-2.5). So the sharps...

TUA could be better in practice but like many have said, the team keeps winning with Jalen at QB and him not turning the ball over would make it reasonable to keep playing Jalen in CNS mind. I think more goes into than just the best chance to win. Saban is excessively loyal to his QBs imo.

No one is saying he sucks... but I could give a .... about SEC off player of the year this season... if we didn't have a three way split in the backfield this year and Harris was getting the carries he should have it would be no contest... as would be the case with any Alabama RBs. Running game...

He's not.... but he is capable of managing the game If we're able to run the ball successfully and play great defense. It's unlikely for him to win this game with his arm. I just don't see a high ceiling with him at QB with what he's shown against better defenses that force him to pass...

Lol so he has to make higher risk throws than what he's currently doing (in his mind at least). The reason he isn't throwing is because he feels the throw would be too risky. That will inevitably lead to more TDs and first downs if he can execute but also a higher risk for picks if he can't...

As far as Nick Saban's management of QBs... it has been passable but hasn't been great by any means. His philosophy is minimize turnovers/manage the game and let us win with other facets of the game. This allows for a much wider range of QBs then If you required a stellar QB (Deshaun Watson, Cam...

Quick question: who is responsible for what RB is the game at any given time? Is that 100% on Daboll?

MSU defenses greatest strength was their offensive ToP, we saw this on full display vs Bama. LSU and Auburn have the athletes to play us better than everyone else, but the SEC west was weak this year compared to years past. I believe a lot of the stats over the middle were against lesser...

Show me his passing chart vs LSU, Auburn, and MSU (not a good defense) and throw in 2 more of the better SEC defenses we played . Hard to do with the SEC west having a down year. I'll go off that chart...
