One last gripe from me about Saban sticking with Hurts all year last season. Long.

Lost in all of the negatives of his bad decision regarding Tua is the effect of recruiting. Saban essentially helped Georgia sign that epic class last year and helped them get off to a better start this year. And of course it hurt our recruiting last class as well. Now before I go any further I realize that losing coaches every year hurt our recruiting too but we always have a high turnover because everyone wants a Saban coached coach but it never hurt us as bad as it did last year.

Had Saban split reps with Hurts early in the season then Tua would have won the team and become the starter by the Texas A&M game. We would have gone undefeated and beat the brakes off of Georgia in the SEC championship game eliminating them from the playoffs altogether. Now I realize that Georgia is easy to recruit to and would have signed a top 2 class anyway but we lost a couple of badly needed guys to them that would have signed with us because Kirby would have had less to sell. They may have lost one of two others to other schools as well. It is my opinion that their SEC title and strong playoff performance gave them the edge they needed to pull it off.

Now what's done is done and though it looks like I am crying over it I am not. I am just showing you guys the big picture. I know I am right just like I knew I was right telling you about Hurts last September when you called me stupid for suggesting Hurts wasn't s good quarterback.

We lost Justin Ross who was 6-4 receiver with speed because of it. He can't fix the damage from last year and if he finishes like I think we will our recruiting class will rival the one they signed last year or possibly be even better. I know most of you won't see the logic of what I am saying because of your crimson colored glasses that made you think so highly of Jalen despite poor performance right in front of your eyes.

Lastly, I know I am truly a pessimist to the extreme but I am also a positive thinker as well. I am pumped for the season and barring defensive injuries we are gonna frick the SEC. I would just like to remind you that when you down vote this post that you are down voting the post not the poster. When you disagree with my thoughts try to remember to attack the post and not the poster. I love the Bama program as much or more than any of you and have been a Tide Pride donor with two tickets for thirteen years. We are brothers in crimson and there are real people behind these keyboards with real feelings. Let's not attack posters because you don't like what they say. Salsa puts up with it but will ban you for speaking the truth about poor quarterback play.

Let the down votes commence.
