Saban never said that Hurts was "completely removed out of consideration." He basically said that in the first game, the game plan is to give Bateman and Barnett the reps. Anything could happen between the first snap on Saturday night and the end of the season.

The point is he had been completely removed out of consideration even though everyone with s brain around the program, players and coaches included raved about how he had been the best performer.

I think you put too much stock into what people "report." Almost everything that has been reported concerning the QB battle has been here-say. I'm not saying that its dumb to believe what you hear, because I believed it too, but what people "report" is just a fraction of everything that goes into the coaches picking a starter.

Do I still think that Hurts is the most talented? Yes. Do I think that he knows the playbook better than the other two? Clearly he doesn't. I kind of convinced myself that he could figure it out all in 8 months, but it doesn't sound like he has figured it all out yet.

Heck of a reward for a guy who came in as a freshman, did everything that was asked and was the best if not one of the best.

Pshh, you have no clue if he "did everything he was asked" relative to the other QBs.

Not a great recruiting tool.

Give me a break, dude. You actually think that because a talented true freshman isn't starting at QB, that is going to effect recruiting? gtfo
