Um, you do realize that Jalen's completion % was affected by quite a number of one yard passes which went for significant gain?
If Jalen chose to change positions, what would he play?

Yes. I get that. As I said, and respectfully I'll try to clarify further, I'm not trying to suggest that Blake and Jalen's stats are truly comparable. All I was suggesting is that I believe Jalen will be used in the wildcat. I probably should have left it at that. My point with bringing Blake's name into that at all is because that's how he was often leveraged when he played AJ's backup. Anything else is something you're reading into my post that wasn't meant to be there.
Maybe I made a mistake in even mentioning Blake at all. I offered the stat comparisons (without any decoration) only because I thought some people might be interested since that seemed to have spun off into another discussion. Maybe that was a mistake too because I get the feeling that my point is being missed in favor of a whole different narrative.
If anything I posted was confusing, I apologize. I'm still on post-operative medications, so I'll blame those.

One thing I think I've learned posting here is if you are in a grumpy mood, feeling inclined to criticize a thread topic rather than just not participate, or hand out negatives like party favors, my suggestion would be go take a nice walk and post when you aren't feeling so negative.
This is not a rival board, we are all pulling for the same team, and sometimes I think people can loose sight of that.
I don't remember Bama having two better credentialed quarterbacks competing and I just can't wait to see how things play out. I suspect that over the season there will be times when both guys will thrill the home crowd.
I suspect Saban has some ideas that we mere mortals haven't thought about that will keep both guys excited to be at Bama.

Re: Position Change for Jalen.
ETA: I don't mean that as a slight against him, either. I'm just not sure he understands exactly what he's to do in all situations?
I think this is a GREAT analogy.He's like a 55 Chevy Belair hardtop. Looks fantastic, runs great, but no computer to evaluate what's going on.

I have wondered this as well. Kickoff just needs to get here so we can have fun watching the games.

Thank you kindly!Here's to a full and speedy recovery.
I’m so far behind with that so all I’m gonna say is whoever gets it may he lead us to #18, #19, etc.
Yes, if he is intent on remaining a quarterback. Basically, as I see it, his college career will be all there is if he remains at quarterback. If he truly has aspirations of an NFL career then he should change positions now.

GT would be a horrible choice for Jalen and make no sense. If he transfers because he feels he can be an NFL QB he will have to go somewhere that has a wide open passing offense. FAU, TTech, WV, Ohio, Baylor, etc. That is the only way he leaves Bama. Not to be put in a run happy offense anywhere. He needs to be in a system that allowes him to put up 3500+ passing yards and 30+ TDs for the next two years. Outside of that type school he better stay in place or find a new position for the next two years.
I always think I FEEL normal. My wife tells me otherwise. I'm genetically resistant to anesthesia. My last anesthetist griped that it took three times the normal amount of propofol to keep me under. After the bypass operation, I was aware I wasn't quite normal...Yes. I get that.

Jalen is tough enough to take the hits...but his build is a bit large to fit that system. I guess what I mean is that his feet and hips are not what Tech is used to. I hope Jalen stays in T-town myself. But if he leaves...I think we are in excellent shape. Jones is seemingly ready to get some reps out there. But I hope he wants to stay. But as for Tech....just my opinion..but I don't think I have seen Tech-like split the Defense option ability from Jalen. They may change their blocking schemes a little and gain something thru his abilities no doubt.
And if Jalen reads these boards which I highly doubt......Hang in there tough and keep competing my man! I want to see you do what folks say you haven't done as of yet. Go Bama!! Kick the crap out of those Cardinals!!!
