Teague I have seen them standing next to each to each other and lil bro is at least 2 inches taller. Maybe he wears lifts in his shoes.

Maybe he's just grown a lot and they haven't updated his stats? I remember thinking he looked taller too, and like I've said, people keep saying he is. But, I don't know.

Hurts is an incredible athlete and while Tua is a very good athlete, doesn't seem to be quite that level.

That is a tough prediction to make, schedule sets up nicely but we have a lot of inexperience and some depth concerns.


Also, hopefully Saban does what he always does - its worked out pretty well over the past 5 years. The people who act like Saban is holding the team back due to his offensive philosophy are crazy. Saban lets the qb's do their thing once they show the ability to make sound decisions and not get caught up in the moment too much.

Hopefully Tua will be the qb that knows when to take a shot and when to dump it to the checkdown and let them make plays. After a full year in the system and getting a lot of experience I expect him to be great, pulled off one of the most incredible moments in Bama history in the NC game, but the freshman mistakes were certainly there - he has the arm to make up for that though. IF he can make those sound decisions, limiting turnovers and keeping the ball in the hands of the offense / our playmakers, this could be one of the most efficient and scariest offenses in a long time.

Now show the sack he took.

We've heard how every QB Saban has signed is the GOAT and none have lived up to the hype the fans give them.

In White's defense, he threw beautiful passes. He just didn't have a body made for contact sports.

He could play 7 on 7 with the best of them. Where you can get away with a weak arm. He couldn't pass more than 15 yards down field with any velocity.

He's standing on something unless everyone back there, including the women are as tall as Tua.

Alabama now has the best defense and best offense in the SEC and probably the country. Impossible to beat.

Thankfully, this OL looks like it will be one of the best of Saban's time at Bama.

The downfield passing threat alone that Tua brings to the table is going to open up our running game like never before. Have fun putting 8 or 9 in the box with Tua at QB.

I've had this sig forever. It all started with the constant, "Bama claims every title anyone ever awarded them" threads of the early Saban years.

Funny note, I think it used to end at 2009, but I just filled in 2010, 2011, etc. for as many characters as I was allowed. I've since had to fill them in accurately, and take stuff out just to have enough room to fit the recent ones.
