Dear Coach Saban (The Greatest of All-Time),

#2, Four Years ago, when you got a commitment from Robert Foster, a 5-Star WR, I walked around with a cocky strut for at least 4-5 days. He was a hell of an athlete, and I knew he’d be a legend at Alabama......

I was wrong, the recruiting services were wrong, and you are wrong now. Get that sorry piece of crap off the freaking field. What the hell are you doing, and what the hell are you thinking? He’s supposed be the 2nd option this year at WR and he’s got 11 receptions for 146 Yards FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. Pathetic. What kind of dumbass runs a 3 yard crossing pattern on 4th down when we need 4 yards, and then tiptoes the line trying to be all cute instead of diving forward? He’s not good, he sucks, he can’t get open, it takes more than elite speed to succeed in football. He’s useless, he’s a bust, he’s a letdown, he’s overrated, he’s any other bad adjective you can think of to describe a football player who was supposed to be good, but ended up sucking. Get Fosters arse off the field, and Cam Sims isn’t much better, get his arse off the field too...

And now, the key for Natty #6....

Jerry Muthaphukkin Jeudy
Henry Muthaphukkin Ruggs III
Devonta Muthaphukkin Smith

The only excuse for Foster/Sims playing over these 3 studs is run blocking. Fine, they don’t run block as well. Then take Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith out on that practice field for 20 hours a day everyday until January 1 and work on run blocking if you must, but get them better at run blocking so they can get on the field instead of those bozos Foster/Sims.

Didn't you literally already post this in your last manifesto? You think this needed a 2nd thread?

I don't really care what you think of the posts, Tua should have started this year, Hurts hasn't gotten any better vs elite Defenses. Also, I believe Saban will in fact make the move to Tua next season.

And if you think Foster is any good at all, then here's your sign....
Saban is being very conservative with the WRs, opting for run blockers instead of playmakers, and it cost us dearly vs Auburn. I hope he doesn't make the same mistake vs Clemson, because their D is even better than Auburns.

I don't really care who is playing, I will support them 100%.

The truth is, we see less than 1% of what goes on in full. That you think you know better than Saban and the coaching staff on what needs to happen makes me think you are a dumbass.

All I see is someone who can't handle what being a football fan is really like. Either spoiled based on the past 10 years or just a new fan, either way you have no apparent clue what actual heartache is.

We've gone 11-1 this year, made the playoffs for the 4th straight year in a row and you think you need to write the coach who did it a fricking letter? As if you are even remotely qualified to see shite.

What you see is an offense that's sputtered at times and like every other dumbass you blame the QB. Must be the QB, put in the backup with no experience, he must be better - all because you saw him play in some garbage time, and you ignore the 80 yard pick six he threw in that limited time.

I was with you until you basically pulled the same stupid reasoning as the OP. Slamming Tua for that pick six is just ridiculous. Dude threw a pick in the middle of the field 96 yards away from his own end zone. It wasn’t a poorly thrown screen or an out that got jumped, it was a pretty run of the mill pick. Our team couldn’t tackle a guy who had to start from the middle the field in a situation where no one was strung out 30-40 yards downfield, but rather were all pretty close to the action, and then run 96 yards.

I don’t like picks, but yours is a case of the ends determine the severity of the wrong. Just because it was a pick six doesn’t make it a worse throw or decision or mistake any more than the kick six made the field goal attempt a horrible try.

Now as to the OP, my gosh, man. Get a clue.

Sorry, I'm not slamming Tua. I'm merely pointing out he's not perfect and still has to learn a lot.

He looks like an awesome QB overall. I get why people are going crazy for him, I wish he was ready. But people act like he's way more ready than he actually is. We've seen other QB's get ruined like that. And we've seen how silly other HC's look when they put in the backup against us.

It's kind of crazy that we are even starting QB's this early in their time. I hope we start getting some people who will stick around and realize it's likely their 3rd or 4th year before they start - if they are good.

I'm afraid that you're correct. I wish he was ready, but apparently he is still a bit wild and outside of Saban's system. I do think, however, that he could hand the ball off as well as Jalen, and is probably better at throwing the deep ball.

This is a really conundrum.

Totally unfair to judge the receivers when they've got a QB that can't get them the ball. Foster looked elite against Wisconsin in 2015. And he's done some good things with the ball in his hands since. I think it's a mental thing at this point with him.

Without talking more shite about Jalen, it doesn't matter who we start at receiver. Ridley needs to be on the field but outside of him it doesn't matter because they aren't gonna get the ball. We do need Sims out there to block though.

Speaking of conundrums, what if Saban has Hurts as the projected starter coming out of spring, Tua transfers, then Jalen is injured early next season.
