I want to disagree with this, but I just can't. Very true thus far. If he is to be considered a great QB, he will have to learn to depend on his legs far less, become a better pocket passer, make decisions with the football more quickly. I am NOT saying Tua should be starting over him, but Tua is a more gifted QB than Jalen is.


Also easier on a QB to never be behind in a game no matter how bad your offense is playing.

I'd like to see him have to lead the team from behind. I like the kid, seems like a good kid, but I'm not sure he is a good QB. He's a good running QB though. As someone else said, he's another Nick Marshall.

He was down 24-3 just before half in the third game of his career as a true freshman on the road in Oxford last season. He also put together a great 2 minute drive to take the lead back from Clemson in the National Championship game last year. Unfortunately for Bama fans, it was about 2 minutes too early and the defense couldn't hold on.

You mean like being down 24-3 as a true freshman starter in a SEC road game?

Or maybe seeing him lead a TD drive down 4 points with under 5:00 left in a national championship game?

Yeah, I'd like to see that too. The images of what those things would look like are so vivid in my mind, it's almost like they've already happened.
