QB Competition 2018

[JTBama]

Pollack is a lightweight, TBF...

I would agree, he often tries to step up into the big boy heavy weight ranks. It doesn't work for him

He should try wearing more pinstripe suits to see if it helps.

I don't know, that would make him a referee which would further his unfounded judgement calls.

 

[Ole Man Dan]

Let me recap so far in this thread:
Hurts can't throw, and runs too much.
Hurts not completing passes and distributing the ball to playmakers and need to be benched.
Tua is way better than Jalen and youtube video proved that.
Tua will play.
Tua will not play.
Hurts will be benched.
Hurts will not be benched.
Hurts miss open receivers.
Tua is turnover prone.

Am I right so far?

QB competition ended with our Spring Game.
Jalen finished ahead of Tua.
Here's my analysis...
How many games have we lost with Jalen at the Helm?
A couple in 2 years.
Lets talk about last years Clemson game.
Did Jalen lose that game? My memory said we scored a late TD to pull ahead.
Did our Defense stop Clemson for 3 and out? NO. Clemson won with seconds to spare.
On offense I thought we called a weak game. We abandoned our Running Game. WOW.

Fast forward to this year's Auburn Game. Why did Jalen abandon the Running game?
ANSWER: Jalen doesn't call the Offense. His job is to try to run the play he is given. If that play goes South, Jalen has had to improvise. Plays have a way of going South quickly when their rushing guys spend the game in our backfield. I hate to give credit to Auburn, but we were outcoached, and their players wanted the game, and our wounded players didn't stop them.

Could this happen again... YES.
Hopefully we will have a better game plan for Clemson.
Coach Saban has done pretty well playing teams after they have beaten us.

Do I think TUA is our future? Maybe he is.

THIS NEXT YEAR'S SPRING PRACTICE SHOULD FEATURE JALEN AND TUA SQUARING OFF AGAIN. THIS TIME I THINK TUA WILL HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE AND HE COULD WIN THE JOB, BUT I DON'T EXPECT COACH SABAN TO ANOINT TUA AS STARTING QB WITHOUT A SPIRITED COMPETITION.
OUR NEXT STARTING QB WILL BE... THE MAN WHO PERFORMS THE BEST.

It's funny listening to some of the ESPN pundits acting like they know exactly what Bama's game plan is against Clemson. Today on Finebaum Laura Rutledge addressed the Bama fans calling for Tua. She chuckled and said "Forget it, Tua's not playing!" Last night David Pollack said Bama is going to run the ball a lot using Jalen on many runs and won't attempt more than a dozen passes.

If Jalen and Tua had stepped foot on campus the same Jan. who would have won the job? Either last yr with LK or this year with BD, who would have come out with the job?

Speculation on Jacob Eason transferring at the end of the season.

Interesting article on Jacob Eason. Listening to his high school coach I think he is gone after the season.

[FONT=proxima_nova_rgregular]“That’s probably what’s weighing heavily in his head right now,” Tri said. “Knowing his personality and watching him grow up, he’s a very loyal kid who wants to do right for Georgia. But really his decision at the end of the season is what’s right for Jacob.”[/FONT]

Bad thing for him he only threw 4 passes the entire year after he got hurt. In my mind thats crazy considering they have blown some teams out this year. Tua has played a ton in comparison.

They're in a slightly different situation than us. Frohm needs as many reps as he can get at this point, so I'm sure that played into it some. Agree that he's probably gone...

This was inevitable especially with Justin Fields most likely going to UGA also.

Re: Speculation on Jacob Eason transferring at the end of the season.

IF I'm Eason I make a business decision and find a mid-tier team that throws alot and I transfer there...sit out my time...and then I light it up for one year and then go to the draft.

He had some bad luck...but now he's got to do what he's got to do.

I'm sorry, Tua isn't ready. it showed on the field at times. Tua is very good passer, and He can get the ball in receiver's hand... but the problem is his decision making at times. He has thrown into coverages several times... He hasn't learned to balance the risk and safe throws...

Same as Jalen last year. Jalen had quite a few bad decision throws. Now Tua has had a full season of extensive playing time under his belt. Jalen wasn't ready to be a starter either but he's a good player and we had a great team so it worked. Tua is the same, he could start if needed.
