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).

I don't know though. Not only does he have a great ability to read defenses but keeping them honest. We get big plays because he does not give away on down field plays where he is going. The opposing DBs have to stay honest. Many other QBs I see give it away in college way to early and allow a S to cheat over. One of the reasons I believe he has yet to throw a pick. He is also great at throwing to only where the WR can get it. I have seen some of our WRs in double coverage and only they can catch it. Even if a DB can make a play it looks at best to maybe bat it down but not able to intercept it. I also like the way he can keep a WR in their stride on routes. Makes the offense that much more explosive.

Can he improve yes but I am not sure it will matter.

Tua sells the "play action" better than anyone that I've observed.

And Damien Harris does a great job of it also.

Usually half the opposing defense bites.

He's 19(?).Of course he'll get better.

He's already great.Bama is blessed to have Tua.
