re: the criticism on jalen hurts

for Alabama, he does enough to win games. but I wouldn't want him as LSU's qb. even though we have a good defense, I dont' want to go back to a so-so passer at qb. we've had that for so many years, and are just now poised to come out of that purgatory.

I'd rather Hurts in Canadas offense. Our receivers aren't great.. running backs are.. we'd basically be running the triple option with Hurts and a lot of RPOs.

Hurts isn't a great passer.. probably not even good. There's a reason the coaches don't trust him to throw over the middle. He's really an incredible runner though.. and when you have a receiver like Ridley demanding double coverage and you have to spy a QB like Hurts.. that's like playing defense with 9 guys. That's where his value is IMO.

Alabama defense recovered 13 fumbles (26 fumbles, 17 forced) last season and had 16 interceptions (six pick-6's).. 7.87 TFL/game, 3.60 sacks/game.. Hurts had it really really easy.. until November/December/January where Bama was converting less than 40% of 3rd down attempts
