urts that played in the spring game was making throws on the run down the field and finding running lanes against our #1 defense. Hurts in the spring, 6 weeks post-high school graduation, was light years better than Treon Harris against our #1 defense in the SECCG. So no, it's a stupid comparison.


I just don't see how you can watch that tape and say, wow, this guy is light years better. I don't care about stats, I'm looking purely as his mechanics and accuracy, and they flat out aren't good. Every throw he makes wobbles at least a little, most badly, and he has a bad habit of throwing off his back foot. Treon struggled with similar issues, yet they both seem to have a good feel for pressure. I don't think the guffaw responses are justified if all we have is his spring game tape. It certainly isn't just because they're both black.

Again, Hurts may have improved this summer, but I'm just scratching my head that some bama fans are using that spring game to hype him. I also don't think it's a slight to say he's not as good yet as two fifth year seniors who have a natty and a playoff appearance between them.

My analysis was based on what I saw from TAPE for when ESPNU was discussing him starting. From the GAME TAPE (albeit the spring game), he looked just like Treon Harris -- out of control, good arm, but could at least escape a rush... but didn't look very accurate. When the pressure is on this kid, he's going to make some big mistakes since he's a freshman and he's got similar issues that Treon had.

Just my analysis from GAME TAPE. Some of you just believe what you read on the internet.

At least they could have added the houndstooth on the sign. Certainly didn't go all out for you guys. That's for sure.

You do realize you show up in more Alabama threads than the majority of Alabama people here, right?

Quite an honor.

I didn't think he went against the #1 D. If he did it was only for a series. He was the only one to get the offense moving and made some good throws. I'm very interested to see his development.

I will hand it to LSU fans. When opposing ranters call out their players not one of them responds.

For as long as Saban has been here never once has an Bama QB lit it up in the spring game. You're trying to base how good he will be based on what you saw in a few drives in a spring game which is pretty much a glorified scrimmage.

I want to say Dan Mullen recruited him hard and if Mullen wanted him then he has talent, just not a lot of it, which is why Mullen thought he had a shot at signing him
