On “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Monday, Finebaum said he’s heard from sources that the job is Tagovailoa’s, and Hurts is actually battling Mac Jones for the backup spot:

Hurts about to be 3rd string QB. Mac is a far better passer.

Even Jimmy Ott on Br radio today said he wonders what’s taking Saban so long to name him. Said that per his sources the team was behind Tua last year. I am sure Saban is trying to keep a really good back up on the team because Mac Jones is not ready yet. We already know Jalen can get Bama to the playoffs he just struggles against elite defenses making reads.

Many Bama fans have been saying Hurts is the third best qb since the spring game.

Honestly what good does it do to name the starter right now? The team knows what's going on I'm sure and that's all that really matters. Let Louisville gameplan for two different QBs. It worked in the Natty.

How is this news?

Do people really think there's a QB battle for the #1 spot in Tuscaloosa?

This is old stuff. The talk coming out of spring was Mac was as good a passer as anyone and had out done jalen.
The spring game showed this. Mac was confident, poised, very accurate and fired that rock with authority. Galloway and herbstreit went on and on about him.

I think THIS is what had jalen upset. He knew he was being passed by Mac.

Again, jalen wasn't there the last half of the season. He was never a passer but he wasn't running either. Against auburn there were plays he just flat quit. Todd blackledge was talking today about noticing it against Clemson. Said he just didn't have any intensity and was short hopping balls in pregame.

And no, if anyone (non Alabama fans) REALLY believed there was comp for the starting job they......were hoping probably

Yeah....I'm sure coming back from down 20-7 and winning in over time was the plan all along.
