“I think he’ll win the Heisman next year,” Dilfer said. “Everyone’s going to say, ‘That’s hyperbole. Dilfer raving about an Elite 11 kid.’ I got a bunch of Elite 11 kids. Jake Fromm was an Elite 11 kid … I think this kid (Tagovailoa) is as special as any kid since Jameis Winston. Because he’s at Alabama — because he’ll have to compete this spring no matter what. Nick’s going to demand it, and he’s going to continue to get better. Because they’ll now run an offense that makes sense and threatens all parts of the field. The runners will be better because they’ll have lanes to run in. The offensive line will be better. They’ll convert more third downs, and their defense will be better. Alabama will be the best team in the country, and he’ll be the best player on the best team in

Dilfer also sunshine pumped the shite out of Blake Barnett, but we've seen Tua play an extended amount of snaps so I'll allow it

I might be excited by this if dilfer knew the first thing about quarterbacking.

This kind of talk is exactly what we don't need. I'm going to play it cool.

Dilfer hasn't always been right with his accolades about QBs, but what he says about Tua's ability combined with the talent level of our offense for 2018 isn't really outrageous. I'm very optimistic about our offense for next seaon.

With Tua at QB, we might have a runningback make a run at the Heismann.
