I have lived through a vast range of Alabama QB's in my short 43 years...from Walter Lewis to Tua and every Hollingsworth, Tucker, and JD Phillips in between. I truly believe this decade we have seen the two best QB's of the last 50 years.
If you had to choose an all decade QB (2010-2020), who do you choose? We have had a few Championship winning QB's -Mcelroy, AJ x2, Coker, Jalen/Tua, Who do you pick?
I know the popular pick, and rightly so, is Tua. The stats, and number certainly speak for themselves. Would you choose him over AJ? I am not so sure. They are both very gifted, and each played in a completely different offense. What could AJ have done with the fab 4 receivers? What would Tua's resume look like if he had to hand the ball off to Trent, and Eddie 30+ times per game.
For me it is too close to call. I think back to AJ breaking down in tears after we beat LSU, screaming at Barret Jones late in the championship game vs. Notre Dame, 98 yard bomb to Amari at the Barn...man that guy lived and breathed Bama football.
We have been blessed this decade in Tuscaloosa.
