I hear you man, but I think his passing is a serious problem. This isn't something you fix in a bye week. Jalen Hurts is the worst passing QB we've started under Saban by far. He has great running ability, and great intangibles, but boy he is really lacking accuracy and timing. I mean we have GREAT receivers. Our receivers are one of our big strengths and we can't even use them except for jet sweeps and screens. On the plus side, he can pass just well enough to where the defense actually has to defend the pass.
I love our defense, but I haven't seen any improvements in passing since week 1. We've got what we've got at this point. If Jalen can crank it up a notch in the passing game, we could go all the way. If not, it's gonna be really tough. Regardless, we should expect to win the SEC this year.

People just need to understand Jalen probably isn't going to turn some magical corner between now and January. This is who he will be until next September. There is no point in rehashing this every single Sunday. There might be a game where it gets us beat, there might not.

Anyone who thinks this means he just won't ever be a good passer should watch Eason this year, Stafford his freshman year or Browning (Washington QB) and Lamar Jackson last year. Being a true freshman QB in the P5 is extremely difficult.
