I like this kid and he has a point, major one.

atltiger6487•82 months

no he doesn't - it's competition for QB at the best team in the nation. I'm a fan of Hurts, but this sounds like sour grapes.

elposter•82 months

How many times has Saban said that there is a QB competition since the end of NC game? A lot. I like Hurts but I think this is more of a "they aren't telling me what I want to hear" than it is a "they aren't telling me anything." Both QBs know this is a competition. What else is there to say really?

poochie•82 months

Is it too late for him to transfer for this year?

Art Vandelay•82 months

No but he can sit graduate and have 2 years to play

Warfarer•82 months

Correct Art. At this point they won't yank his scholarship anyway. If he pisses the coaches off, all he has to do is ride it out for a season and refuse to play, take a redshirt then transfer as a grad student and play a couple more years.

Take note: when the number 1 reason kids attend a school is because it’s a “business decision,” expect them to treat it like a business when you get there.

El Magnifico•82 months

Will be processed accordingly.

Will Munny•82 months

It’s ok Jalen (everybody) Hurts

okietiger•82 months

Pretty shitty move by Bama but who’s surprised?

cypresstiger•82 months

Too bad he doesn’t realize that with Saban, more he shoots off his mouth, the less chance he’ll have to play

Meauxjeaux•82 months

Dude Tua won the job in the NC. They don't want you to leave in case he goes down with injury. BTW Jalen, almost everyone on the planet deals from self-interest, so you should have put that into the equation back in the spring. You are right about one thing.... it's too late.

Herman Frisco•82 months

He will be able to run the scout team, so there is that. #3 on the depth chart, not many snaps with the first team.

CAbamafan•82 months

frick him and his entitled sour grapes. Once you leave Alabama you'll fade away into obscurity forever. Have a nice life

DeltaDoc•82 months

Yet he’s accomplished more at 20 than you will in your life.

JakeFromStateFarm•82 months

“Once you leave Alabama you'll fade away into obscurity forever.” Like Alvin Kamara did?

CAbamafan•82 months

What has he accomplished? Wow, he's played college football! What an accomplishment. The only accomplishments that will matter in his life are the ones he makes in the classroom, and I can guarantee you I've accomplished more in that regard.

Jalen Hurts seems like a good dude and I hate this for him, but what was he expecting to be done differently? What was it that the coaching staff failed to do here?

5Wide•82 months

The coaching staff failed to make him the starter

GeorgeTheGreek•82 months

Sounds like the coaching staff failed to communicate where he was in comparison to Tua. That would be frustrating as a player. You always want and deserve to know where you stand.

narddogg81•82 months

How they going to tell him where he stands relative to tua over the spring and summer when tua broke his hand and couldn't practice?

Strannix•82 months

Processed

SailorGator•82 months

more like jalen butthurts.

SailorGator•82 months

what a bitch. i'd be ashamed if my son was that soft.

Drizzt•82 months

Saban’s ego will not take this well. Welcome to the doghouse Jalen.

burke985•82 months

i hope he leaves and i hope tag sucks and then i hope Saban is stuck like lsu with no qb

atltiger6487•82 months

Saban has done well with Greg McElroy, Blake Sims, and Jake Coker. I think he'll be ok

Stephen1979•82 months

Nobody asked him how he feels? WTF? Nobody cares how you feel Jalen. It's a business. You lost a competition. Work harder and shut up.

PortHudsonPlaya•82 months

It’s a business??? Last I checked, the labor doesn’t get paid.

JackieTreehorn•82 months

Nah they just get a free education and free everything else. Priced college lately?

Byron Bojangles III •82 months

Bruh you sucked in that game. They handled it exactly how they should have

ChunkyLover54•82 months

Who cares about the gump?

Luke•82 months

Since this is a business JH needs to work out, refuse to play trash minutes and keep that RS... Transfer out and keep his body in tact
