Disclaimer before I even post what I'm about to post. *Jalen Hurts is our starting QB and needs to be our starting QB. He gives us the best chance to win.*
After watching Tua play yesterday, the amount of plays he played and the types of plays they allowed him to run despite the game being completely out of hand. I believe at some point during this season we're going to see packages for Tua during parts of games to create a vertical, downfield passing attack. Our running game looked absolutely abusive yesterday but let's be realistic. We won't do Clemson like that. We won't do that in the four team playoffs. I can easily see playing a defense (Clemson for example) and they've clamped down on our running game and have taken away our short horizontal passing game. Tue comes in with a pre-prepared set of plays he's comfortable with and they use him to take the top of the defense and take advantage of the defense "squatting" on routes when Hurts is in there.
Guys, the passes that kid threw yesterday were amazing. The ball comes out of his hand like lightning. I thought Gary Danielson was about to have an orgasm in the booth watching Tua throw. You could tell he was genuinely in aw of Tua's arm and passing skills. We've got something very, very special in #13.
Again, refer back to my opening statement in bold. You don't sit that type of talent on the sidelines. You find a way to make him apart of your offense. Even if it's in a non-starter role.
