Solution to Alabama's QB Situation

Hah. I can’t help I was all around them today. Just part of the deal.

Alabama does not have a qb situation. They have a clear starter and a clear #2. What they do have is an idiotic full retard section of the fan base that is never satisfied; even when averaging over 40 points a game with no defensive scores. Last years excellent squad averaged adout 38 with the d scoring almost every game. Suck it haters.

Wow dude you mad or something?


I never said Jalen shouldn't be the starter. What I said was Tua is just so good he should be starting as well.
Look at the passing numbers and tell me who is the better passer (Tua)? Looking at the rushing numbers obviously Jalen is better in that regard and running a rushing attack because he is a threat to run as well. Against a really good rushing defense your better option to score is Tua. What I saw today was Jalen not able to read the defense to find his second or third option. I also saw a couple of passes where he missed the receiver on screen plays. It was absolutely obvious in the game today who is a better passer and can read defenses to find his 2nd or 3rd option.

I have thought about this issue a lot.

Do you think, when Saban recruited Tua, he told him that Hurts was going to start no matter what? I think you will agree that had Saban said that, Tua would never have come. So obviously, Saban promised Tua that the Tide would be open to starting the quarterback that gives the team the best chance to win, regardless of past record, number of starts etc.

There will be a completion. It is been promised and agreed to. It was promised and agreed to during Tua's recruitment. Tua came here, not because he was content with being a backup until his senior year, but because he thought he would be good enough to take the job.

Tua is not a typical backup. He is a future all-American type, Heisman trophy candidate calibre player. So he can't be treated as some typical QB in waiting who waits his turn and keeps his mouth shut.

Of course the competition begins in earnest the day after this season ends. Jalen is just too good and too smooth to be beaten out by any true frosh. But I warn you all, do not be shocked if Saban pulls Hurts for Tua if our offense completely stuggles in a big game.

I personally think that once Tua gets his full grasp of the offense and calms down a bit on the gunslinging, you all will see how defensive fronts will losen up and our running game will become even more devistating with him under center.

The QB "situation" has been handled just fine. Both guys seem content with their roles. Alabama is scoring over 40 points a game. Nothing will or should change.

But we don't what this years Jalen will do. I think it's stupid to compare what he did last year to now. He is way better than last year. On one drive alone tonight he threw 3 straight passes down the middle all good passes one was a TD, none of which he would have attempted last year. So back to my point if he puts up 200 with no turnovers on anyone this year we will win, in my opinion.

Jalen actually threw the ball well all game. Missed timing on maybe two or three throws max. Hurts has the experience and has proven time again he can win. Just calm down boys

How early does Tua have to go in before his performance is discounted as "mop up duty". He played almost an entire half.

Honestly it's getting assinine.
