The offensive coordinator of last year's team might want to join you guys hanging outIf Jalen is a better QB than Tua I will give up football. Maybe me and Herbstreit can hang out together.

I agree, but he looked pretty bad. IMO.We cannot count on A day game....
We can count on all the games vs good defenses when he struggled for 2 years.We cannot count on A day game....
I don't think anyone is really saying that we should. Its one data point of many.We cannot count on A day game....
Yes you can. It is a game like scrimmage, and should actually be easier for the QB to shine since he isn't a live target and the defense is always very vanilla. It is only one piece of information to evaluate, but it is one that you can evaluate. I will give you that Blake Sims looked bad in the A-day Game, but came on strong later as the season developed. The difference for me is we have a ton of data on Jalen, and I saw no improvement. If anything I thought he looked worse.We cannot count on A day game....
Yep. You can tell we are all ready for the season to start. Drama - it's the new focus in all aspects of our life!At this point I think people are basically making things up to worry about.
With the World Cup about to come to a close I'm going to struggle mightily waiting for football to start.Yep. You can tell we are all ready for the season to start. Drama - it's the new focus in all aspects of our life!
Agreeing, and agreeing with others that A-Day is only a single data point, but it IS a data point and MUST be considered.We can count on all the games vs good defenses when he struggled for 2 years.
:cheers2:Let me put it this way.... if you are the opposing team who would you rather defend?
I completely agree. But what you will hear some others who are more supportive of Jalen's position as starter is that he has already won an SEC championship and was one pick play away from winning and NC. Factually, they would be right, but not if you really look deeper into things.It is obvious after two seasons every team we play knows exactly how to defend our offense and neutralize Hurts. The issue is that only two, maybe three teams, we play regularly have the talent, coaching and depth to pull this off. So with Hurts limitations at QB we can easily win 9 to 10 games every year, but probably no SEC or NC.
They keep saying over and over "Jalen is 26-2 as a starter". While that is a true statement, it doesn't tell the whole story.I completely agree.

honestly, to me his body language in the A day game was that of one who had essentially given up.Agree with this.
If Jalen was starting to mature as a passer, with the vanilla defense that is usually the norm in the 1st half of a A-day game, he should have LIT UP our defense.
Remember how Tua did this year before last? Then CNS turned up the defense and allowed them to give more looks and it affected Tua, with no collegiate experience.
But when Jalen had a big chance to make an impression, to put it mildly, be left a stain in his pants.
I personally don't see how Jalen plays ahead of Tua, but I also don't think we have much to worry about.
Jalen is confident in one thing - his feet. It doesn't mean he's not a good person, but it doesn't translate into being a good QB.honestly, to me his body language in the A day game was that of one who had essentially given up.
