Bama fans get so worked up over Hurts. No one ever said he didn't have a strong arm. He just didn't make decisions fast enough last year. Kiffin turned him into a one read QB last year. That's the criticism on him. Good thing the freaking kid is built like a damn NFL LB.

This was more about the relationship between the kids than the specifics about Hurts game, but I agree. He was a true freshman. We'll see how he progresses this year.

That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE.

Geez, you guys seem to think that isn't a perfectly valid approach to the game. One that has had a lot of success and won national championships.

If Bama hadn't been using the other system for most of Saban's time there it's possible teams that use one read might have won even more titles.

Frankly I think the ungodly collection of talent Saban accumulated gave the traditional approach more success at winning it all than it deserved by it's own merits.
