I'm sorry chatta and Huddie. I don't mean to get so defensive. I just hate yalls lack of perspective, and it frustrates me sometimes. I know that it's just a message board, and I get carried away. I'm a nice, laid back person IRL. I will try and do better on here.


I appreciate what you do. I feel like I am taking crazy pills whenever I come to this board nowadays when it is in regard to Hurts.

Jalen Hurts was a true freshman. He will get better. And if he doesn't....he will be replaced as the starter by someone who is better than he is. It's that simple. You didn't like Jalen's performance in the championship game. We get it. Move on with your life.

I just don't understand how he totally became this unrepairable mangled piece of trash who has no future and no chance at development because he had an above average true freshman season.

I mean, I agree, it sucked to lose a national championship because we had a limited QB who was a true freshman. But that isn't Hurts fault, and it doesn't mean he won't improve like every other true freshman does.

I just don't get it.

Any other fanbase in the country would be fricking ecstatic about having a true freshman QB perform like he did, especially the drive he pulled off late or the monster run against LSU.

All context seems to be getting lost too. Like sure he could have played better, but we kept putting him in insanely difficult spots with dumb penalties or nothing runs. Our WR's never seemed to get open when he was forced to scramble. They dropped passes in important situations.

He needs to improve, that it is obvious. To treat him like he is broken beyond repair is insane.

You know who lost that NC game? The staff did, that's who. They got out coached by Dabo Swinney and Co. Let that sink in. And it started way before the game too. From Freshwater trolling the local watering holes for coeds instead of working on gameplans or coaching up Jalen to Saban taking timeouts back to Tuscaloosa with him instead of burning one before the final play to set the defense.

I'm tired of the staff getting a pass for the stupid mistakes they made that were all glossed over until the 2nd half of the Clemson game. Like how Saban needs to take his obsolete DB coaching to the house. We've had one constant coach back there and it's CNS. And our DBs still never turn and find the ball. So tell me, who is that on? Ansley? I think not.

Or how about how Jalen threw the ball downfield some early on but was scared shitless to look past 10 yards downfield in the playoffs? That's on Freshwater and Saban for not allowing the kid to make some mistakes and learn from them early. With the best defense in America to back him.

Or how about that gameplan for Clemson? It was a cluster frick from the word go and the only thing that bailed us out was turnovers and Bo being Bo. The offense was completely shut down outside of Bo.

Mistakes were made by everyone. The players made some and didn't execute well but don't give the staff a pass. Plenty were made on their behalf and I think deep down it chafes Saban that he and his staff got out coached and he knows it. I think that's why Sark was told to GTFO. He failed. It was a team loss. Don't blame our Freshman All-American QB. He's a freshman. Don't blame the GOAT defense. They got abandoned by the staff and the offense on the biggest stage. There's blame to share by everyone.
