Gus wouldn't take him honestly. Auburn doesn't quite have the talent to surround him with so he wouldn't be nearly as successful there. Hurts is much, much worse at being a quarterback than most people realize.
40 TDS vs 10 INTS for 5000 yards. Again, watch the games, Hurts had to run for his life with Bama's OL. His running allowed the team to cover up that weakness.

Dude, he didn't have to run for his life last year. It looked that way because he couldn't stay in the pocket and make reads. The staff seriously simplified the offense to just one read. Basically, look for Ridley and if he is open throw it, if he isn't then take off.
Those are facts. Take a look at the game stats from every big game he played in and it was always around 80-100 yards in the air and 40 or so on the ground. Lane Kiffin is just a fricking wizard that knew how to get the most from him. He rarely threw picks because he always threw short or just took off.
You could have been quarterback of our 2016 team and probably won 10 games. The defense alone scored enough to have a winning record without even having an offense.

quote:You've got it backwards. He made the OL look bad because if his first read was not open, he would not move up in the pocket, had great trouble making the 2nd read, he would not make a decision and throw the ball, he would then wander off to the right, sometimes all of the way out of bounds.
Again, watch the games, Hurts had to run for his life with Bama's OL. His running allowed the team to cover up that weakness.
Tua did not have the same problems when he played. He was rarely sacked. The OL was not great at pass-pro but they were nothing like appearances. Again, Tua was almost never sacked. Jalen simply does not have the passing skills (pocket presence, ability to read quickly and make a decision, anticipate the receiver's path, etc.) to play in a pro-set offense. He does not make good decisions on RPOs, either for handing off or throwing being inclined to keep the ball most times. Bama's receivers and running backs became very frustrated last year. That's one reason the O began to lose hope the 2nd half of the season. When Tua came in the NC game, the entire team was infused with hope and energy. They have great respect for Jalen personally and as a leader, but knew he was not able to execute the passing game.
He may be coached to execute some type of option O. He is big and strong with good top end speed. He is a great leader and teammate. He has a strong arm with decent accuracy. There is something to work with.

Since when is 165 ypg and 1.2 TD per game against FBS teams impressive?
