The aura around Jalen Hurts and our memory of him is one of the strangest I’ve ever seen.

Came in on fire.

Defenses (and us fans) quickly realized he can’t throw a football.

He got exposed vs above average D’s

We begged for Tua all of Hurts 2nd season

SUCKED in the Natty, Tua saved us

But ask anyone now, and Hurts was a legend lol but dude was a$$ for real

You left out the part where Hurts played his arse off only to be outmatched by Deshaun Watson.

What he lacked in arm talent he made up for with heart and work ethic.

Put aside the fact that Jalen was SEC PotY as a freshman and led Bama to two straight CFP appearances and an SEC Championship as a starter. Hurts was a legend because even after being replaced/humbled by Tua in CFPCG, he didn’t pout or whine, he stuck around for a year, fought to be the starter, wasn’t a distraction when he got beat out, was a supportive backup/good teammate, learned how to be a better passer, and then came in for Tua late in the SECCG to lead Bama to an SEC championship in dramatic fashion. If Tua hadn’t gotten hurt in that game, Bama most likely loses…

He graduated from Bama and then, in a classy way, transferred as a grad student to OU, led them to a playoff appearance as a Heisman finalist, and now’s a starter in the NFL. A$$ QBs don’t do that…but legendary QBs do…
