Tommy Tubberville says he should be a serious Heisman contender fwiw. When a coach praises a quarterback I tend to think there’s something there that media and fans might miss.

he's not a bad qb by any stretch but he's not a very good passer, I mean that's just the truth. however, like most Bama players, he doesn't make a lot of mistakes either so while it does limit Bama's offense to a degree, he doesn't put y'all in bad spots either, and he's not so bad that he can't make a throw when it's there to be made.

To me AJ was the best QB i have ever seen at Bama and one of the more underrated college QBs of my lifetime. The rest y'all have had have been more than good enough to win games and I put Hurts in that group as well.

He's not "bad". He's mediocre. His stats and average QBR bear that out.

Not unlike basically every one of your quarterbacks since Stabler, Hurts looks better than he is because his supporting cast is so good.

You've found the key to making bad QBs look solid and mediocre QBs looks good. That's more of a compliment to your program as a whole than an indictment on Hurts.

They're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole with Hurts. He's a solid QB but playing in the wrong system. Luckily his running game is good enough to make it work.
