My only fear with this whole "let both of them play equally to start the season and see who performs better" philosophy is that the first few games won't necessarily show us which QB is best suited to win all the games on our schedule (since none of the teams have good to elite defenses). Jalen is perfectly capable of shredding Louisville/Arky State/Ole Miss with his abilities. If he does that and Tua has a couple quarters where he is just off target throwing the ball, we may well end up in the exact same situation as last year on the back half of our schedule.


Novice fans may have an issue with deciphering which QB is playing the best. But, fans with a little football knowledge and especially the coaches won't have an issue at all in my opinion. But, I think Jalen will get playing time once the game is decided. And, Tua will be the man from jump.

You. Don’t. Know. That.

We all think that based on some info shared by some we trust on a message board, but no one knows for sure besides those who have been at the practices and who are in the locker room.

People need to stop speaking in absolut s about this situation, relax, and just let it unfold. We will be fine either way.


Dude, Tua won the team before the Auburn game last year and solidified it against Georgia in the second half. The two scrimmages so far saw Tua out shine him rather badly and we have two years of evidence that Hurts sucks in the passing game. We don't need him to have more carries than our running backs again and we don't need him looking good against the shitty teams at the beginning of the year.

The experts are saying That Tua is a rare talent that doesn't come around that often and some of you think it's ok for him to sit on the bench while hurts runs for touchdowns against a shitty Louisville defense? Tua needs the reps and Jalen needs the pine. You called me stupid last year and then I was proven right so I think you maybe should listen this time.

We don't need a rotation to figure out who the best we quarterback is when we have known the answer for months. Jesus guys, I don't understand some of you.

#2 is what you see when he plays a really good defensive football team and that is a really good athlete at QB that has a glitch in his confidence when he comes to passing the football. He is more worried about making a mistake than he is confident of the pass he is about to throw. It will not change. He can beat 90% of the teams Bama plays as a wildcat QB and he has the record to back that.

You can click above my post and see what post in responding to but your whole minor update post. Again I checked with 2 people about your update on the qbs and both said this was absolutely not true.

Was not my attention but your post seems pretty off the wall and my sources said it never occurred. I asked for you to elaborate on what happened bc at this point it seems your spreading false information.

You don’t have to. I want Tua to start, but I’m not going to run down Jalen. Also, I’m not going to “will” Tua into the starting role. He will either win it or not on his own and it’ll be Saban’s call on it. No amount of message board wishing is going to make it happen one way or the other.

My point is just simply we can all just relax and let it play out. That’s all

That none of that occurred. Tua didn’t concede to Jalen as the team leader and Jalen definitely didn’t tell his parents to stfu. Saban had meeting with his farther and assured him that Jalen isn’t out of it yet but Jalen said the same.
I sent them his post and said that it was absolutely not true. There’s a chance he derived it from something else but it’s far from what he said..

That Jalen and Tua will split reps in game 1? That’s not off the wall. Tua given Jalen the leadership role in a QB meeting also not off the wall. The fact that both Jalens parents went silent after what my source said occurred, not off the wall.

Not sure what your angle is or what your source may be but I’ll stick with mine at the end of the day. Hope you enjoy the season.

That’s your version, that’s fine. My source is damn near perfect. Again enjoy the season. I’m done replying after this one.

I asked for you to elaborate. I said nothing about the scrimmage. If your saying that Tua let Jalen be a leader then yes but if your saying that Tua basically conceded the leadership role in the qb room and team then your absolutely wrong. Tua and the qb room very much know he’s going to be the guy.
Jalen’s parents went silent bc he and coach Saban talked to them but neither told his parents to stfu. This isn’t a jab at you but your specific details are off the Wall bc they didn’t occur in that way.

On part 1 I didn’t say that at all ,the way I said it was completely correct. I never once said Tua let Jalen lead the team or anything of the sort. In the QB room he absolutely let Jalen take the leadership role in what they were doing at that particular time which, has nothing to do with the entire team.

So let’s play this game, ask your source what they were discussing in the QB room when Tua let Jalen lead.

Part 2 The stfu part was more funny than anything a paraphrase without getting into details. Obviously he didn’t say that directly to his parents. But they did indeed stop the rant based off the convo.

So again, please stop acting like I’m giving out bad info.
