He has a great, accurate throwing arm


He threw a couple of good, accurate balls in games at Alabama, I wouldn't deem him as having a "great, accurate arm" based on just that, especially considering how much of a turnover machine he was in scrimmages. Hurts threw many more great, accurate throws in an Alabama uniform last year than Barnett, yet we talk about him like he is Spencer Pennington back there.

Its like having a great girlfriend that you are dissolutioned with because you see her bad side sometimes. Even though she is sweet, loving, and puts a lot of effort into the relationship, you want to give up on her, and break up with her, because you spend a ton of time with her and see all of her flaws. You want to leave her for this other girl because she is also pretty. You think she is great because she smiles at you, and tells you nice things when you see her out from time to time. but you haven't seen her weak moments yet. She is a total head-case cvnt once you get to know her.

Like Saban said, the grass is always greener atop the septic tank.

and Hurts continues to struggle, our fans might be a little upset


Some of our fans will always be a little upset about our QB situation, no matter who is back there. Just the way it is. Fact is, Barnett quit before he even had a chance to relieve a struggling Hurts, and then victimized himself because Saban claimed that he was "nervous" in his start against USC.

Our football team's culture is to do your job, and play for the guy next to you. He was too much of a "me" person to be on our team apparently.

We heard that Barnett turned the ball over several times in 2 scrimmages, but we heard that Barnett was a very good quarterback for the nearly 2 years he was here.

Barnett may have turned the ball over in those 2 practices, but Hurts turned the ball over a heck of a lot in real live games the whole year long. That's not hyperbole. That's a fact.

"Our football team's culture is to do your job" you say. Well, Hurts didn't do his very well vs Clemson, and it cost us a national title. Call that one hyperbole if you want to. I call it a damn shame, especially considering the elite wide receivers we had.
