I'm not assuming. This is exactly what happened in the Spring. Saban made the call to rush Tua back for the spring game instead of letting his hand heal, and he reinjured it.

Same shite here.

I also said Saban should've started Tua last season midway through. I guess I didn't know jack shite then either. You idiots act like Saban as infallible. He's an old football coach from West Virginia. I think he's clearly really smart. But he's not a genius. He's not God almighty. A lot of people have higher IQs than Saban.



Dude, you are all over the place. Everything you are typing are assumptions. The bye week can’t get here soon enough for you. You need a break.

You're right. This whole Tua thing has me in all-out meltdown mode. I apologize, but I've been worried about Tua's health since preseason. I knew that his health was the single determining factor for our season, and for our coaches to have him running around in a knee brace all week acting like there's nothing to be concerned about, I'm beside myself.

I'm gonna self ban myself for a week

You finally posted something worthy of an upvote instead of a downvote.

You don’t know all that happened. QBs do not get hit in practice. Alabama is more than Tua. Tua makes us our best but we are still a damn fine football team without him. You can’t play football dreading to get hurt. Maybe you should take up a new sport. Chess would be good for you.

Chess? Really?

Maybe checkers or hungry hungry hippos.

I think that there is a little bit right on both sides of this. Obviously, Saban and the medical staff make informed decisions, but at the same time, we do have a history of playing players through injuries. Barret Jones' broken foot comes to mind here. I'm not sure if it was really worth the risk to be playing Tua when up by 20, and I'm definetely questioning his decision to take off and run there.

I think a lot of the reaction peolple have with people criticizing how we deal with injuries stems from a segment of our fanbase that never stops whining about this or that, despite us being in the middle of the greatest dynasty of all time, and not really the content of their concern.

The slide looked pretty clean to me. It was weird how it aggravated the knee. There no awkward contact at all


Looked to me like his cleats caught the turf.
