Can we just nip this whole this whole Blake Barnett thing in the bud. He sucks. He sucked here. He sucks at Arizona State. He wasn't good. He isn't good. He should not have played instead of Jalen and neither should Bateman
Perhaps, though it's subjective. What is not subjective, though, is the fact that in his limited play, he didn't turn it over once in a real live game. That throws shade on the supposition that turnovers or the lack of them is the primary reason a quarterback will or won't play.
Oh yeah, and without reviewing the stats, I think Hurts had 3 or 4 fumbles and an interception in the games that Barnett was here.
Other than that, it's a moot point looking forward, because Tua Tagovailoa is apparently wayyy better than Blake Barnett.

The reason that talking about Tua's mistakes bothers me, and seems so petty is because he just won us a national title by replacing our less-skilled starting QB, putting up 26 points and a miraculous play in OT against one of the best defenses in cfb in his first real action as a starter, after being thrown into the fire at halftime. Despite his mistakes he looks like he'll be the best QB in college football next season. He's certainly the best QB Alabama has had in decades, and possibly ever.
The reason so many people were criticizing Jalen Hurts is because he sucked at passing the football, and made our offense one-dimensional, and painful to watch vs decent defenses.
We're comparing apples to oranges here. The 2 QBs couldn't be more different, and there's no longer a "situation" at QB. It's settled.
The only thing undetermined is whether Jalen will transfer, or stick around as the backup

Not really. He went to a new school and never saw the field. A school that went 7-6 and had a starting QB who was middle of the road QB (with a OC who was the WR coach at Alabama and knew Barnett better than anybody outside of Alabama/Kiffin). Chances are Barnett will probably graduate and transfer AGAIN to ever get playing time in his college career.
Tua is awesome. Barnett was not.
