You could see the improvement in Jalen's decision making and accuracy throughout the year. Kudos to him. He threw several last night as good as you can throw them.
Jalen did a great job. Storybook redemption and all that. Jalen is quite a capable starter (somewhere) and one heck of a backup for Bama this year.
Jalen HAS improved as a passer stationary and on the move.. that's the primary improvement he has dramatically leveled up --- Passing - Placing the ball on time, with the right velocity, in the right space for the receiver. His running is what it was year 1.. Jalen has that natural like Tua has A LOT of his passing instinctively/naturally.
That said: I would need to see 4 quarters or more of Jalen to make a firm decision on whether he has really improved on one of his biggest weaknesses: Reading the defense/Making his receiver reads (1,2,3, Check or 1,2,3,4, check etc).
I noticed in the UGA game Jalen's head wasn't on a swivel he seemed to basically lock in on a receiver and deliver the ball. The latter, delivering the ball he's improved on,.. locking onto the receiver it seems he may still need to improve on.
I saw multiple receivers open when Jalen was in pocket "scanning, but head staying primarily straight" before he bailed on said pocket.. some were TD openings.
I'm not knocking Jalen,.. just that he's not solved / improved in all areas he needs to improve on to be that uber complete QB. Tua Tagovailoa is still the best Quarterback on the team by quite a large margin -- and Tua is the guy you want facing off against Kyler Murray -- Though I do hope the Bama run game can smash through this weak Oklahoma defense to take most of the pressure off the QB position and make Alabama be virtually unstoppable every drive.
