Thank You Jalen Hurts

cmmiller711 · Nov 25, 2018

Today, in all likelihood, was Jalen's final home game in a crimson jersey. When Jalen came into the game, you could feel the whole stadium realize he was running out at once and everyone went nuts. Then when Waddle turned the corner, I've never heard BDS louder. It was a truly special moment, and I'm so happy I got to experience it. I'm not ashamed to say I shed a tear. I'm so happy the fans got to say thank you to Jalen one last time, and I'm so happy that Jalen got to stick it to auburn one last time.

Today was truly a great day to be a Bama fan, and no matter what, Jalen will always wear crimson in my heart. Roll Tide, Jalen. We love you.

And to throw a TD on his first play...he's been a credit to UA all the way.

It was a beautiful throw, catch, and run. It made me very thankful that he decided to stay. That being said, is it a given that he will not be returning for his Senior season? If so, what are his plans for his future?

ROLL TIDE!

I hope Jalen transfers and has a super season where ever he lands. I hope nothing but the best, he is crimson through and through. HE DID US, himself , his family and the University proud this year. Kid will have his pic in the dictionary next to the word CLASS.

Just don't go to Auburn, or any other SEC team.

Well said. Jalen Hurts has been a class act, long before the moment he set foot on campus. Our country could use a whole lot more young men like him. Thanks Jalen and RTR !

IF he leaves ( which isn't a given) I look for him to return home to Texas

By the way, Hurts finishes the regular season with a rating of 204.5. Not a fair comparison since he falls well short of qualifying, but if he did qualify he would be the third highest rated QB in college football. He has had some clear progression as a passer, and I just hope he doesn't go somewhere he could play Alabama next year.

The crowd was amazing when he came in; and louder when he completed the pass. When Waddle zoomed past that last defender was probably the loudest moment of the game.

Really happy for Jalen. Last year I’m not sure he completes that pass (most likely tucks it and runs).

All things considered, he’s had a really good season.

I'd like to see Jalen stay at Bama. As of yet, he's shown no inclination of transferring. Where else other than at Bama will he get as much NFL scout exposure? Where else will he get this much top notch coaching? While not the starter, he does get a lot of playing time in most games. And he's done really well this season. Other than "being the starter", I don't see the benefit of him transferring. But then, I'm no expert in these matters.

I was so excited for him! And I’m not ashamed to say I got pretty teary eyed. I guess I could have blamed it on allergies, since they’ve been driving me insane lately, but I won’t. It was nothing but complete pride for Jalen. I won’t be surprised if he transfers, but deep inside my heart, I hope he chooses to stay to finish his collegiate career at Bama.

He can stay here, continue to get national exposure and reduce the chance of injury and then sign an NFL contract for millions.

It was awesome the way the stadium erupted when he trotted onto the field - the entire student section was chanting "JALEN! JALEN JALEN!"

I've said it before, but after he's gone (whether that be sooner or later), I'd love to see a 'best teammate' award named after him. What a fantastic young man he is, I'm so proud that he's worn the crimson jersey and represented the university so well.

I agree with all things said in this thread. First class person, teammate, student, and player. I too wish he would stay but will support his decision. He has nothing to regret as every other QB at this level would be Tua’s backup. RTR Jalen.

cmmiller711 · Nov 25, 2018

I don’t want this taken the wrong way....

I kind of hope Jalen leaves. He deserves to start and be a star somewhere. I also think he has a better shot at the nfl that way, personally. That said, matt cassell got a shot in the league... so I could be totally wrong.

Mystical · Nov 25, 2018

I hope he does not transfer to LSU or Auburn. Any where else I am good.

JBama_in_PCOLA · Nov 25, 2018

You know. I love Jalen. The way he brought us back against Ole Miss and then Miss State. The way he did Tennessee. Taking us to the SECCG and National Championship games was something I will remember. I hope he stays, believe me I am too much of a Bama fan to see him go anywhere else. I know he graduates soon and I won’t be mad if he goes elsewhere to start and finish out his career. He deserves to start and would be here if we didn’t have a generational QB that’s tearing everything of. Thing is, when Jalen has been in he has too. Thank you Jalen! You are leader and a champion on the field and in life. No Butch Jones pun intended.

Go to a Big 12 school. They don’t play defense.

JustNeedMe81 · Nov 25, 2018

He got a chance to look at Auburn offense and he knows he would be exposed under Gus. I can see him going to Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, and other schools.

I do too but I believe Jalen was quoted earlier this year saying there is no better place to learn to be a NFL QB than at Alabama. It will be interesting to see what he will do.

So much already said in this thread and so elaquantly. I’ll just say Thank You Jalen and rtr.
