No doubt. Damien quoted about all the wins. That is what every Hurts apologists use when defending his shitty play. We made the playoffs the last two years on the backs of elite defense and elite skilled players surrounding him. I appreciate his contributions and I will root for him over the next three years at whatever school he decides to play for but I am ready for Tua.

I don't get why people are so obtuse to not understand the comments about supporting Jalen last year. The players job isn't to make personnel decisions. Their job is to play their position with who the coaches put out on the field. Why would someone say they don't think Jalen should be the starter? It just creates noise.

Jalen isn't a NFL QB. The win argument is terrible because Saban has made a career of taking terrible QB play all the way. Jake Coker and Blake Sims were worse than Hurts, but they still had successful seasons. If you lose your job because you get pulled at half for a true freshman as a 2 year starter during the natty you are done. NFL fans wouldn't even be having this discussion. Saban's goal now has to be to keep Hurts as a back up because our depth at QB is suspect without him.

The issue with transfers of any position is the fact if you can't earn playing time at Alabama you aren't playing in the NFL. QB takes that statement to another level. If he wants to go to FAU or GT to have a good college career go ahead, but no one wants a QB who consistently underperforms vs good teams. Especially when you have the arsenal of Alabama at your disposal.
