re: Alabama fans, is there any real chance that Hurts loses his position during this season?

Here's the thing, he hasn't played well against good opponents, but, he hasn't needed to outside of the Clemson game, which was a Loss. He can play as poorly as he does, but as long as Bama's defense shuts down other team's offenses, they'll still win and probably wont replace him.
If FSU moved the football and scored more, and say maybe pulled off a 21-17 win and Hurts performed exactly the same as he just did, there would start to be a lot more talk of replacing Hurts.

This is true, Bama's best offense is their defense, much like LSU in 2011. Their Offense wasn't anything special but their defense constantly put them in excellent field position.

Exactly. If Bama loses a game this year and Hurts has subpar numbers expect a large portion of the fan base to start pushing for Tua to get snaps.

Maybe, but Hurts would have to look lost for multiple weeks and lose games with turnovers and missed throws for people to loudly call for another true freshman QB. He wasn't great Saturday but he was neither of those things. We were stuck in the mud on offense, both running and pass blocking, and he was kind of there stuck with it (against a pretty good defense in week 1).
Maybe he will and they do. Maybe he improves. Maybe he's just ok all year. We'll see.

Analysis of Hurts performance actually shows he did fairly well. His completion percentage wasn't great, but he had three throw aways and a few drops, plus one called back on a penalty. He was more accurate than he is getting credit for.
