Re: Will Saban be doing Hurts a disservice? (regarding JH's future)
Again, look at JH's numbers last year - he was a FR and they tried not to put him in situations where his mistake would lose the game for us, but he was more aggressive last year than this year. As Earle relayed, his one interception "is a bug, not a feature."
Tua is likely naturally more aggressive - he trusts his arm more and appears to be less risk-averse as he believes he can make all the throws. I just hope he keeps that attitude and Saban's generally conservative nature don't reign that in too much.
Not sure it's that simple - and I'm not sure we won't see Tua become more conservative if he becomes the starter.Then I think this begs the question as to why would the coaches put restrictions on JH but not do the same on Tua?
