He hasn't lost the QB job yet. You can be sure that he is at least even with Tua at this point. I agree with most that it does not look like Jalen has much chance to win the job, but rest assured that Saban will give him every opportunity. Bama has made it clear (especially the Enos hire) that its primary desire for future QBs is to be able to read defenses, read the field, throw on time and accurately. IMO, this was Saban's desire all along, but circumstances contorted the recent path. Having said that, Enos, his first college QB coach, may provide the teaching that Jalen needs to make a quantum leap. IMO, that is what he needs - a QB coach and quantum leap.
It's unlikely that a starter will be officially announced until the beginning of the '18 season, maybe a game or two in.
