This.
He's so good it's hard to see without looking for it but he's light years ahead of the qb he was in the 2nd half of the 'ship.
Currently he's passing at a middle of the pack NFL QB level(which is unfair in college football with a team as good as Bama) . He's got the talent to develop to an Aaron Rodgers level.

Even a guy like Baker Mayfield is already a lot better right now after one NFL training camp than he was his last year at Oklahoma.


Hmmm. I’m not sure I follow. So your saying NFL training camps transform players into much better players than they were just a few months prior?

Yes, due to playing against much better competition. The same thing happens to HS players after their first college fall camp.

Things that worked against lesser competition doesn't work at the higher levels so they have to adapt or get washed out.

Tua sells the "play action" better than anyone that I've observed.

And Damien Harris does a great job of it also.

Usually half the opposing defense bites.

He's 19(?).Of course he'll get better.

He's already great.Bama is blessed to have Tua.

As for last year. It was a mistake for Tua to sit all year. It almost cost us a title. We were lucky to make the playoffs. It was a mustake. No one is perfect.


Thinking that Aub game would have played out very differently had he started that one.

Course no telling if we'd of won the championship in the end had we beaten Aub since we would have still had played GA in the seccg, then the playoffs would have looked very different....

I think you guys are over-rating Tua big time. He wasn’t even good enough to be the starter last season. If he’s so amazing, he would have started.



How does it feel to send a joke so far over half the board's heads, that they can barely even see it's vapor trails?

I mean, you whooshed them so hard they partially derailed the thread legitimately discussing it.
