Here are Tua's stats against S&P+ defenses rated outside the Top 20 (Against #38 Missouri, #42 Texas A&M, #65 Arkansas State, #80 Arkansas, #96 Tennessee, #109 Ole Miss, #110 Louisville, #111 Louisiana, and FCS The Citidel):
Completions: 125
Attempts: 174
Completion%: 71.8%
Total Passing Yards: 2406
Yards/Game: 267.3
Yards/Attempt: 13.83
Touchdowns: 28
Interceptions: 0
QB Rating: 241.09
Here are his stats against Top 20 S&P+ Defenses (#6 Missisippi State, #14 LSU, #16 Georgia, and #18 Auburn):
Completions: 74
Attempts: 120
Completion%: 61.7%
Total Yards: 947
Yards/Game: 236.8
Yards/Attempt: 7.89
Touchdowns: 9
Interceptions: 4
QB Rating: 146.04
I think Tua is a good QB, but I also think he's had the luxury of throwing to the nation's best WR corp as well as he has one of the nation's best OL blocking for him. Most amazingly, he's racked up a ton of stats against an absolute abhorrent schedule.
Of those bottom 9 defenses he's faced, the median S&P+ Defensive ranking is #96. That's unreal. Of course he's going to have amazing stats.
Against the four solid defenses he's faced, he's had one good game (Auburn), one really bad game (Georgia), and two very pedestrian outings (MSU & LSU).
Is he good? Yes. But maybe everyone should pump the breaks just a bit. I'm not quite sure he's deserving of the hype he's received.

Idk, but Jalen Hurts is underrated

Are you trying to tell me he plays better against poor defenses than good defenses? I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

#13 has hit the wall it appears. Is the reason his injury situation? Or has he become really greedy in trying for the big play on every pass.

He’s trying to do too much now. I really think he tried to win the Heisman too much. His father probably was in his head about winning it.

Injured on the first drive. Jeebus you frickers are dense.

He's good, but I've been saying let's pump the brakes a bit. Some people are already anointing him as a top nfl QB. It's hilarious.

Average at best. If he's drafted at all after next year, he'll probably be a Bama bust.

Up through the UT game, he was absolutely as good as advertised. His accuracy was unreal. I don’t know if it’s due to his knee injury or what, but he hasn’t been the same since. Not just against the good teams, but the bad ones, too. His accuracy and touch haven’t been to the same level. Hopefully a few weeks off will give him time to get back to himself again.

I don't believe Tua is overrated at all. I think that he is injured. With plenty of time to heal, he will be back to being a force of nature. If not, Hurts is still a full load.

Tua didn't have the eye of the tiger last night and Fromm did. You could see that plain as day on TV. He was the first fighter that blinked, but his receivers didn't do him any favors last night either. I've never seen Bama's receivers get the yips like that before.

Semi pro OL and receivers help too!!

He’s not overrated he’s just soft

He has had a relative rough last month. Don't know all the reasons why but facts are facts.

Nobody held Alabama to less yards than Mississippi State defense.

Finally someone with a brain.

But who should get the hype. Murray who I doubt has seen any type of defense Tua has. Or give me another QB who would have fared any better against these 4 defenses you mentioned. Even Fromm struggled against LSU.

This. I have to assume it's the knee (and ankles now). Let's see how he looks in January.

So against the #110, #65, #109, #42, #111, #80, #38, and #96 defenses according to S&P+, he was "absolutely as good as advertised."

Hmmm. Since that game he's faced the #14, #6, #18, and #16 defenses in the country, along with the Citidel.
I'm not sure what happened. It's an absolute mystery.
