And yet it's going to happen.
Not sure why someone would sign to go to Bama as QB this year.
You can get angry, but you shouldnt

It simply depends on the motivation of the player. Saban promises nothing but the chance to compete for the job. Lots of guys are motivated by that challenge.
This time last year we all knew who would be Bama's 2016 QB. A redshirt year in the system, big arm, pro style, can move a little. Exactly what you expect Saban to want in a QB.
Why would a dual-threat QB sign with Bama in 2016?
We're all guilty of projecting what we think WE would do on other people but the fact is everyone is different. The thought of losing a competition to Hurts and possibly having to sit a couple of years might not bother Tua. Only he can answer that question.

It's a big reason Alabama has been kicking the shite out of everyone for the better part of a decade. You know if a kid signs with Bama it's under the premise that he's going to have to come in and compete and earn a job. Some kids don't like that, they usually don't end up at Alabama. Saban basically weeds out the prima donnas and mentally weak kids before anyone signs on the dotted line.
So you reap what you sow. Alabama ends up with a roster full of alpha dogs that were promised nothing more than an opportunity to compete. By default you end up with a tough football team. The machine has reached a point that it is basically self sustaining in recruiting by the nature of the roster. Kids come to Alabama because they want to push themselves. That's a different breed of cat this day and age
