re: How many snaps did Taulia take at the end?

See, that’s not exactly how things work. Let’s get this straight. So, he should automatically, without thought, be thrown into the game to burn his redshirt because he’s our backup now? That’s what you’re suggesting. See how unintelligent you sound? It was 2 meaningless snaps where he handed the ball off. Taulia isn’t a more complete backup because of it. We were up 31 points. Mac could have done that without risking injury. Taulia could have played next week, got meaningful snaps that developed his skill set, and still kept his redshirt unless something crazy happened in the auburn/bowl game that required him to go in. It’s selfish and ignorant for you to suggest otherwise because the year of eligibility that was burnt today could be a tremendous help to him/us four years from now depending on the circumstances that will play out between now and then.

I’m fine if you want to disagree with me, but to suggest my premise is so off base here that I deserve one of your watered down insults suggests that you aren’t the brightest crayon in the box. I don’t think that’s a surprise to anyone though. Contrary to your beliefs, you can have a back up quarterback with a redshirt still in-tact and no serviceable third stringer behind him when there is only three fricking games left in the season you dumbass. Next time, try bringing a more thought out response to a thread before you start hurling insults at someone’s intelligence because based on your recent post history you bring none to the table. Have a nice day and roll tide!

If the intent was to prep him for the remainder of the season Talia should’ve been allowed to run the real offense and for more than two clock killing snaps.

I would argue that Mac Jones should’ve been pushed to do more in the 2nd half as well because he will damn sure be asked to take more on against a much better defense in two weeks.

But from a functional standpoint Talias usage accomplished nothing for him or the team.

Exactly, I wonder if these are real fans or just opposing fans just trying to create drama. It's stupid.

This. A LOT of dumb going on in this thread.

MAC ran a series or two with the 2nd O. Surprised we did that if Taulia was going to come in anyway.

Nobody thinks Mac is going to throw for 300 a game but you also have to take into account the psyche of the team in the second half. At that point, nobody on that field in Crimson wanted to do anything but run out the clock and get the hell out of there. They will be more ready to play football next week and after. If Sark and Co are smart, we saddle up Najee and ride the big fella into the bowl game because he’s upped his game to a new level. Mac just has to manage the game and distribute the ball to Najee and the Four Horsemen. We can go a long way with that game plan.

Meh, doesn’t really matter. Tualia won’t be playing for Alabama next year anyways.

That’s a pretty selfish way to look at things.

So we are making decisions based on a kid that hasn’t even signed his LOI yet and may never set foot on campus?

I didn’t say a decision had been made based on anything. I said Bryce Young will render this a non issue. There’s a difference.
