Is Tua going to get the ‘fragile’ label?

I know y’all gonna hate this thread, but Tua seems to get injured every time he’s sacked.

Hurts is coming off a surgery and was playing like a running back.

Mariota is fragile. Maybe it’s a Hawaiian qb thing.

Are you going to get the shitty Alabama fan label?

seems that way when he gets hit in the pocket. NS said he needs to learn to step up into the pocket

He wasn't really healthy all year but he also seems kind of injury prone. I think he'll recover nicely and ball out next year.


Probably should sit out the playoff unless Jalen struggles.

Every time he is touched he goes down and needs helped to get up.

He has had the label for weeks and some of us on here have complained about it and demanded he grow up.

They are keying in on him being soft and playing weak. That's the reality we as Alabama fans have to realize.

He needs to grow the frick up.

Re-injuring*

He never completely healed after being hurt earlier in the season. It happens.

He led to his own injury today. Did not check it down once. It was really weird as he was checking it down all day vs uga last year. I know his plant foot bothered him immensely but I couldn’t believe how rattled he was today

He has been playing through I lnjury for a month. Saban said after the first tent visit he injured an existing undisclosed injury. Our guy is beaten up.

No, but he may get the "pussy" label. Sprains and stuff just happen. That's not a toughness issue. His inability to effectively play through sprains may be a toughness issue though. He needs to toughen up and stop letting his accuracy and decision making go to shite just because it hurts when he plants to throw. Donovan McNabb played an entire game on a goddamn broken leg.

He’s had a bad knee almost all year. So yeah, when he gets hit my an SEC defensive lineman going full speed, it’s going to hurt. Tonight, he got one ankle stepped on by his own O-Lineman, and another rolled when he took a sack.

I can understand saying he needs to take care of himself better, get rid of the ball quicker, etc... but I don’t think he’s fragile and he’s sure as shite not soft. If anything he’s unlucky. This is a terrible take.

At least UGA wasn't trying to hurt him or playing dirty. I think every other team we played this year tried to take him out with cheap shots. LSU got a free shot in on the false start, on the opening drive. Usually refs run in and stop the players, they just stood back and let him get fricking rocked. I'm still angry ablut that.
