Some, BIGTide et al., have said the following in different words. There is a big difference in having film on Jalen and on Tua. Jalen has a serious flaw that can be exploited to great effect. Tua has no such flaw. He can do anything a QB can do and also has intangibles that are off the chart. The only 2 things that can derail him are injury of course and a very bad performance by the OL; and he can handle the latter to a large degree by pocket presence and scrambling ability. Not saying he can't be a "off" in a game or can't throw a key int or QB a losing effort, but he's as good an option at QB as I've seen in many decades of watching Alabama football.
As far as him being like Favre: IMO, concern over mistakes and ints are overstated. Not that he is impervious, but it shouldn't be like Favre, who IMO, though great, was often reckless. Tua is not reckless.
To Krazy, as likely one of the original "pleaders for respect to be shown Jalen" after so many of us jumped off of his bandwagon onto Tua's - I appreciate your regard for Jalen and desire for respect to be shown him. IMO, almost all Bama fans do respect and appreciate him, but some have a problem expressing their views of the QB competition without using language that indicates disrespect. Often they try to offset it by stating their respect, IMO genuine, for his good qualities. But the harsh words are not thus erased. It seems that it is good to be extremely careful and gracious in choosing the language used to critique him, then the assertion that we are Jalen fans is not even needed. Of course, some are terrified that CNS is going to make the wrong choice and are a bit miffed that they still have to consider the possibility of Jalen starting
, which of course is not Jalen's fault.
