Link: Good SI article on our starting QB Jalen
- Thread starter BAMAVILLE

I think our defense a nd running game can beat almost any team with only a little help from the passing game. The most important stat for Hurts this season is interceptions thrown and he has done remarkably with only ONE interception in thirteen games.
Love this quote:
“I'm not one to critique (Jalen),” Jonah Williams continued, “and I understand offense better than 99.99999% of the people watching.”
“I'm not one to critique (Jalen),” Jonah Williams continued, “and I understand offense better than 99.99999% of the people watching.”
You have to admit all he does is win. He only has 2 losses. Sometimes I wish there were more, but"it is what it is"
And there are many more who need to read and internalize Jonah Williams' quote specifically.
So many people here argue as if they know more than the coaches - it would be humorous if it weren't so ridiculous.
He's been getting a lot of good press lately ... here's another article with the New York Post:

I'm hoping he and the team uses all of this as motivation and just goes out with the focus to execute and dominate on Monday

Pretty good article. Hurts played well enough to win and he has the ability to play well enough to beat Georgia (assuming the team around him plays well). I have been pretty critical of him (and probably will continue to be) but he has made some plays that he deserves more credit for this year. I'm glad that we have been able to have a mostly mild discussion about him.(seriously this is very mild if you compare it to what is going on elsewhere).
Just a few issues with the article though
"Committing not a single turnover" But he fumbled didn't he?
Also, our OL played well but how in the world do QB hurries work because they definitely had a few.
Maybe I should have said this guy "reads" Tidefans.
I've seen more than one article in the last several weeks that referenced discussions we've had right here and at times almost seemed to have some quotes verbatim.
Now, granted, we are talking about what other cites are talking about too and these debates are all over the interwebs but "if I was a betting man" I'd bet some of these sports writers lurk on our board.
Yes - that fumble was on Jalen. He held the ball too long and then tried to push it to harris.
I'd agree somewhat about the hurries comment. There were a couple times I thought he was truly flushed out, but in a lot of cases it was the typical Jalen MO where he he flushed himself out of the pocket before the pressure was really there and he probably had another count or two before he'd really have been pressured.
Got news for 'em - anytime Hurts bails is a quarterback hurry and, for better or worse, a dead-end play 99% of the time...
