Glad you think an altruistic and ultimately forgiving creator is shallow enough to send you to an eternity of flames and damnation for saying a few words out of anger

Updating the status of Tua Tagovailoa's hand injury (al.com, Matt Zenitz, 6:15pm 03/21/18)
quote:
Alabama's quarterback competition shouldn't have to be put on hold for too long. The hand injury Tua Tagovailoa suffered Tuesday is believed to just be a sprain and he should be able to return to practice in at least a limited capacity at some point soon, sources told AL.com.
The sophomore suffered the injury when his hand hit off an offensive lineman while he made a pass during the Crimson Tide's first spring practice on Tuesday.
Without getting into specifics about the injury or recovery timetable, Nick Saban said Tuesday night that Tagovailoa had suffered a thumb injury but expressed optimism that Tagovailoa would be able to get back to being able to do "some things" in "a few days."
Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts were splitting reps with the first-team at quarterback prior to the injury, according to Saban.
"We're giving both guys an opportunity to see how they compete and how they do," Saban said. "We don't have any decisions, aren't speculating on any decisions. Just going to be fair and honest on how we give each player a chance to compete."

Didn't know that , but they couldn't let shite go...jalen didn't deserve the shite they spewed about him or the back handed comments. It was like they had it in for the kid.

Thank God voodoo is in Louisiana. If it were in a state that was occasionally sober, Saban never would've won shite at Bama.

River City and Huddie were two of the more intelligent posters here. That sucks. Yet, absolute morons like bamainva will never come close to ban trouble - no offense.

I don't think anyone doubts that they were intelligent. Just annoying, and detrimental to the overall experience on this board.

Plenty of people went "against the grain" last season. Tell me, why weren't all of them banned? Are you intelligent enough to see the difference between expressing opinion, and derailing every single thread on this board with petty, obsessive bullshite? Not sure that you are.

With increased reps during Tua's down time, has Mac Jones shown anything? If Jalen does indeed transfer (or switch positions) it'd be nice to know we have a back up that wouldn't implode if Tua goes down.

Tua hurt his thumb in Tuesday's 1st spring practice. The 2nd practice is this afternoon. This post was edited on 3/22/18 at 10:35 am

Hope it’s not the ulnar collateral ligament of his thumb. An UCL injury can be worse than a fracture because ligaments don’t heal as well as bones.

Lol so I'm a moron, guess I'd rather be that than a self righteous prick like CA Bama. I won't get banned because I can let shite go . Huddie and river were smart but they wanted to be right and then rub people's faces in it and trash a good kid and player like jalen hurts.

Lost in the hype, the other Alabama QB is 'going to surprise a lot of people' (al.com)
quote:
Tua and Jalen. Jalen and Tua. The whole Alabama quarterback situation is a two-man race for good reason. Both Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa proved capable of leading the Crimson Tide offense at certain points last season.
The third, less-talked-about scholarship quarterback, suddenly has a more prominent role in Alabama's spring practice. With Tagovailoa out at least for the time being with a hand injury, redshirt freshman Mac Jones will get a few extra snaps moving forward.
The Jacksonville, Fla., product hasn't performed in public since last season's A-Day game as an early enrollee. Since then, he's become a popular figure in the Alabama locker room known for his sense of humor. Behind the walls protecting the Tide football facility, Jones is also showing progress as a passer entering his second season in Tuscaloosa.
"I think he gets lost in the Jalen and Tua hype, guys that have played this year " Alabama running back Damien Harris told AL.com before the Sugar Bowl. "But I don't know if people understand he's going to be a big-time playmaker someday. He has a strong arm. He has a great mind for the game and I think he'll really be successful one day once he gets his opportunity."
The 6-foot-2 quarterback came to Alabama as a three-star recruit from the Bolles School. Originally committed to Kentucky, Jones flipped to Alabama in the summer before his high school senior season.
Playing with the second-team offense in the 2017 spring game, Jones was 5-for-11 for 45 yards and two interceptions. Fellow rookie Kyriq McDonald picked off the second pass Jones threw, returning it nine yards inside the 20-yard line.
Hurts and Tagovailoa both put up big numbers in the public scrimmage typically known for the defense. The hype built around Tagovailoa's potential to push for playing time while Jones became the clear third option.
"Yeah, it's tough sometimes hearing a lot about them," Jones said in an interview with AL.com at the Sugar Bowl, "but like I said, we have a good room and those guys work hard and I work hard. So, we're all in it together."
Little more was said about Jones after the spring game. Saban said Jones had a few opportunities in an Aug. 19 scrimmage "and didn't do a bad job." He flew under the radar until his DUI arrest in November led to a one-game suspension. The whole experience "was probably one of the best things that's happened to me," Jones said because of the connections he made doing community service with a local soup kitchen.
Harris, who jokingly claims to be Jones' father on social media, said the young quarterback has a selfless mentality. That was clear in the December interview -- unpublished until now -- conducted before the playoff semifinal in New Orleans. "I don't care who plays," Jones said. "I love being here and getting better and helping out the team in whatever role I can."
With an already thin depth chart, Alabama was in position to add another veteran quarterback over the summer. East Carolina graduate transfer Gardner Minshew was committed to the Tide until Tuesday when he flipped to a Washington State program that offered more opportunity for immediate playing time.
Having three scholarship quarterbacks on the roster is the bare minimum for Saban to feel comfort in the situation. After not signing a passer for the first time in his Alabama tenure, Saban said they were pursuing a veteran transfer option.
A transfer or an injury away from being down to two quarterbacks is not where any program wants to be. Still, Harris isn't worried about Jones' ability to step in if needed. The quarterback nobody is talking about has a few qualities the top returning running back likes.
"His mind for the game," Harris said. "He understands defenses really well. He sees things on the field before they happen. I think he has a strong arm. Like I said, people don't think about him or talk about him much as a player but I think one day he's going to surprise a lot of people. And I think he'll have a great career once it finally takes off."
