re: the criticism on jalen hurts

He'd still need to improve his passing, which I'd have questions about given Gus' lack of QB development. But, if he did gradually get better throwing the ball he'd be dynamite in that scheme.

True enough. He definitely has the arm strength, and some of the long passes I've seen have been pretty pinpoint. It's his improvement (or lack thereof) in judgement everyone's waiting to see about, as I'm certain has been mentioned many times in this thread, though I'm not reading the whole thing to find out. Frankly, though, if Saban can't change that, I'm not sure it can be changed. Not because Saban is a QB guru -- he's not -- but he's a disciplinarian and his players tend to learn or die (metaphorically speaking.)

Just from what I saw last year, he could follow in the Cam model under Gus, though it's obviously extremely premature to actually make comparisons between the two.
