Honestly I wouldn't be bitching about all of this (it's not my style) if I didn't see a world-beater in Tua sitting on the bench. I more or less had your attitude last season - Jalen's the best we've got so just roll with it. I guess my main issue is personnel decisions which I've had many many disagreements with Saban on.

For example, I pointed out we needed a better PR. Well now we have one because Diggs got hurt, but he'd still be out there if it were up to Saban.
Saban is the GOAT, but he makes really conservative choices on the depth chart and is many times soft about benching a "good team guy" if he thinks we can win without doing it.

If this were a video game where there weren't locker rooms and human emotions and freshmen learning curves I'd be all for giving Tua some series in big games and maybe giving him a chance. I just don't think that's something Saban can do at this point unless Jalen melts down.

I would like to see Tua get some snaps in the 1st half this weekend against Arkansas with the game still relatively in check solely to see him in a more live bullets scenario and get him more experience.
