I see what you mean. 2-3 straight national titles in a row could sink the program permanently.
Will Tua see time against UGA ?

Turns out that was really people just guessing because word leaked that Jalen missed a few practices due to illness and Tua ran the first time offense (I mean, who else would) while Jalen was out. This was a case of the average fan and / or local media person trying act like an insider. At least that's how I interpret it after all the information came out after the fact..
Agreed and by 2030 we could really be in trouble. Who in their right mind would come to Bama under these circumstances.
I believe this is what happened too. I can't imagine the panic/excitement if we would have heard Tua was taking all the first team snaps in 2 practices leading up to the game. I guess it proves our program can keep a secret.
I think this is a valid point. Saban coached teams are not built around a heavy reliance on the QB to win. Saban teams are built around a strong defense and running game. We are fortunate to have a great defense and a huge stable of RB's. Hurts is more in the RB category than QB. Now Clemson is much more reliant on QB play to win than we are IMO and we saw that Kelly Bryant is not close to a Deshaun Watson. I think Hurts would REALLY struggle if he was playing for Clemson. I know CNS is always looking for ways the team can get better, even after winning so I don't think we should just sit back and be satisfied at the QB position because we are winning. If we are winning and a QB change could make the team even better than I think it should be made. Could Tua be 25-2 after two seasons? My guess is probably. I look at how far UGA has gotten with Jake Fromm and I ask myself " Who's better when comparing Fromm to Tua?" I'd take Tua.
I got it, bro.
Can't continue to bank on winning with poor offensive production.
Insiders here are already saying it's hurting recruiting of skill players.
Someone else cleverly compared it to flying on a jet with one engine out. Will it work sometimes? Might it eventually bring you down? That's a real worry.
Saban will play Tua when he feels Tua is ready to play and not one dang second before. The straight up disrespect that Jalen gets is disconcerting. I bet Jalen can go undefeated for three straight years and people would still find a way to replace Jalen at QB. Tua has not proven he is better than Jalen, if/when that day comes, I trust Nick Saban to make that call, but until that day....Jalen is the QUARTERBACK OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE.
maybe we should institute a 48 hour rule for the eeyores. the game just ended 14 hours ago and some folks have spent all morning looking under every rock to find something to wring their hands about.
How can anyone determine that if he does not play. Could he do any worse? Like fumbling the ball inside your own 20?
We have great skill players but can’t get the ball to them. Like eating spaghetti with a spoon when we may have a fork right next to us for use.
I feel as though I've been as big a critic of Jalen as anybody - or at the very least I know I've been a big fan of Tua and think he fits our offensive scheme more.
No, I did not think Jalen played that well against Clemson - yes I think Clemson themselves had something to do with that.
But it somehow feels very wrong to be using this time to rehash some of these arguments. (Though perfectly inbounds as far as the forum goes.)
He's our guy for the next game and there's no chance of Tua playing barring injury or the game being out of reach going either way.
For the short term I think we should rally around Hurts and try to consider what the offensive strategy going in will be.
There will be plenty of time for this once the next game is over and I'll be right there likely plugging Tua and hoping he gets a chance.

Pretty sure a guy getting paid millions of dollars a year that has won us 4 national championships and been close to even more is the one determining that and the one that clearly thinks he might could do worse.
Just a heads up but we've had two Heisman winners that have fumbled the ball multiple times. Shocking I know.
If Jalen hits the deep pass to Ridley then we aren't having this conversation. Have to remember that Cam Sims and Robert Foster both dropped passes also. We literally just need Jalen to connect on a few intermediate / downfield passes against UGA to be national champions again. I wouldn't re-work the wheel a week out from the game..
