So all the Hurts stuff was "insider" bullshite?

It was a bunch of people who saw a very talented guy doing things in practice.

All the while ignoring this:

"What you have to be really concerned about is, is a guy ready to go out there and not just do things that he can do but can he run the offensive team?" Saban said. "The back's lined up on the wrong side. Is he going to put him on the right side? Is he going to be able to point out the protection right so we can pick up the blitz?"

I mean, I don't want to say I told you so... Well, yes I do.

Hurts is going to be great. And if the other two guys bomb, he might even take over this year. But it's never ideal to start a freshman QB.
