I agree maybe the single best play in our history. A team that had prepared for Jalen was not ready for tua. That’s the reason. When people figured out tua couldn’t read coverages and scrambled RIGHT every time he felt the slightest pressure became obvious. He was average against great defenses. If he wasn’t limping around nursing something because he has the bone structure of a 98 year old woman.

That was basically Hurts. Not Tua. That’s why he had so many games with under 150 passing yards.

Jalen scrambled all over. Tua had one out. RIGHT. See where he was every time he got hurt. Running right.

Holy hell.

This is an internet discussion forum. There are going to be people with different opinions and viewpoints than you.

We’ve now got a moderator locking threads discussing legitimate and interesting takes on Alabama football because you can’t scroll past topics and posts with which you disagree.

Grow the frick up, wipe the sand off your bleeding vagina, and stop crying because someone posts something you disagree with.

And moderator, stop catering to this bullshite.

Yeah because a 5 yard scramble on 3rd and 10 when a receiver is running open 20 yards down the field is much better

How about you take a look at Hurts’s 5 playoff performances and see how horrible they each were.

The fact that he had the longevity to play in 5 settles this debate even further. Dude had grit. Went on to get Oklahoma to one. Should have kept Jalen and let tua sit.

So you’d essentially take a guy that had games like his 50 yard performance against Washington over guys like Tua that led Alabama to a NC.

The fact is Bama wouldn’t have a NC without Tua. And it was certainly more then one play like you keep spouting.

Greg McElroy won a national championship. We going by that logic? Jalen has intangibles. He was simply a better quarterback.

Greg had like 59 yards passing against Texas. He didn’t win Bama that game. Tua was named MVP of his.

You can argue he is much more durable then Tua. But he most definitely not more talented. Period. I don’t think you know what intangibles even are. You’re making the case for the most clueless poster on this board.

He doesn’t have intangibles?? Taking two different teams to playoffs? Adapting to a completely new offense and skill players when he moved on??? Bahahaha okay bud. Tua and Greg are compatible. They both won a national championship. The only difference is one went the entire distance of a season and one couldn’t pull it off. I’ll let you figure that out.

In 2017 Hurts didn’t play well. Threw for barely over 2K yards and you want to give him credit. Yet you don’t want to give Tua credit for the NC win.

This just convinced me you’re a troll. You went from 3 QBs are better then Tua. Then to 4. Now to Greg is about as good as him.

No Greg is not good as him. I’m using his logic. Greg was awful. In order so you can see. AJ. Jalen. Mac. Coker. Tua. Blake. Jp. Greg.

Don’t think you know how to use logic either.

Bama with no Tua equals no NC.

I personally don't share in the contention that Mac is any more gifted as a quarterback than Tua. With that said, do we have to police this contention so rigidly? I much prefer when the contest of ideas is a full-contact sport.

I'm going off stats four games into both of their careers and how both played against UGA. I can post both stats if you want. Tua also benefited from having two more first round WRs.

Maybe how Tua did against UGA is irrelevant? He was a national title winning QB and a top 5 draft pick.

Also, Mac Jones is good.

Tua was good. Mac is better. We are better team for having Mac. He’s not selfish. He takes what’s given. He doesn’t run with wide eyes when the first read isn’t there.

This is a fair take and healthy discussion. Don't hyperbolize things just to put a former player down who did great things for the program.
