Absolutely.

One area off the top of my head would be how long he sometimes holds the ball in the pocket. Tua isn't bad (AJ had/has a much bigger problem with this) but there is room for improvement.

Yes. He will be even better next year.

He's only played like 15 quarters of football.

Was that a serious question?

every attempted pass is a 99 yard TD completion.

Of course. He hasn't hit his peak physical strength (arm and overall) so physically he will get better. He is good a treading defenses for a college QB but he isn't at the level of NFL QBs in that respect yet. He still throws into situations that would be picks at the next level so plenty of room to improve on decision-making (particularly the speed of making the right decision).

You can always improve at anything you do but he has played as close to perfect in these first 6 games as humanly possible, I believe.

In terms of stats - no.

In terms of skill and understanding and command against good defenses - yes. Of course we will need to play some good defenses to establish a baseline.

Of course he can improve. Now that doesn't necessarily mean his stats next year will be better than this season's.

I don't know if he needs to improve in the area or not, cause most of our receivers get good seperation, but I'm interested to see him throw more into tight coverage. Back shoulder throw and stuff like that

He will have to get better between the ears. All the accolades being bestowed upon him, he'll need to make sure he harnesses them all and not allow to become complacent.
This is something Saban preaches all the time to always play for the next play, etc. But this is a whole new level.
He does have a lot to do, in terms of reading defenses and anticipating. There are plenty of more types of defenses that are coming for him, those he must learn what to do.

He can improve by switching to his right hand.

Of course. I think he's already improved quite a bit since last season.
