The truth about Tua...

This is going to hurt some of my fellow bama fan’s feelings, but I’ve been saying this for weeks. Georgia exposed two weaknesses that could be the downfall of Tua if he doesn’t improve this offseason.
1. Tua cannot handle pressure, especially from the outside edge.
2. Tua tries to be a hero and instead hurts the offense in big games. This is why #1 is true. He tries to make something happen when nothing is there.
3. Tua’s pre-snap reads determine where he goes with the ball. If the defense audibles before the snap, or shows a fake coverage then he is average.
There’s a lot more to it detail wise than just those simple statements, but that’s the meat of his three huge flaws as a QB.
This being said he has all the tools and will still likely be a top QB selected in the draft, but he’s not the number 1 pick right now after Monday night. There’s no way.

Don't know about #1 but this is legit. I said that to folks after watching the Natty. He seems like he TRIES to put the game on his shoulders just to be a hero

I believe his humility is for show. The guy wants to be the star and it’s evident. I love him and what he’s done for the program, but he got into his own head Monday night and cost us with those pics.

There seems to be some merit to #2.

Tentua is extremely average against good defenses. LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia, Clemson. Comparing his numbers from other games to those games, it is laughable.
He lit up every bad team. But when his WRs couldn’t just run away from the DBs, he was average. And saying average might be an understatement. shite would probably be a more accurate term.

He also makes hs mind up where he is going with the football before the snap. He might be pretty good at looking off a safety, but I don't think he's ever really going through reads but it looks like he is because of looking off the db's before he goes to his predetermined receivers. If he really went through reads, he had check down receivers and backs wide open Monday night and hardly ever got to them

To be more clear, #2 causes number one. I should rearrange the order.

#1 can be said of almost every QB. The key here is to neutralize this with quick passes and screens.
#2 is completely accurate. He tries to do too much.

This was on full display after the pick 6

Yea him on the sideline saying “that’s on me I got this” was all the proof I needed. He literally just threw the ball to the other team and then tried to play it off like it was suppose to happen.

Not sure about this. Obviously he looked like crap in that game, but he was also playing on one ankle.

This is true. It came easy for him early in the season and as the defenses got tougher (and his injuries piled up), he didn't adapt. This is something I'm sure he'll improve on, it's easy to forget that this was his first season as a starter at the college level.

And his second pick where he just assumed his receiver would be open and didn't even look at the safety he threw it right to
That looked like playing a 10 year old in madden.

I’m sorry but I could throw for 300 and 2 TDs behind bamas O line using their skill players vs. Charleston northwest South Carolina tech.
Pineapple was super average against any defense with a pulse, his numbers bloated by playing only cupcakes in non conference and the SEC only having a couple of good teams.

You mean to tell me that when a QB plays a really good defense, his numbers go down? Groundbreaking stuff, retard.

Bingo. Combine that with a little pressure off the edge now and then and he's gonna struggle. In fairness to Tua he's only a sophomore and disguising coverage and calling defensive audibles late in the count is tough for most young QB's to deal with.
His natural progression and maturity as a QB should make him better at dealing with this stuff as a junior but if not it will definitely hurt his NFL stock. I think he'll grow from the Clemson game and be even better next year. Alabama is not going anywhere. They will probably be playing Clemson for the National Championship once again this time next year.

Not all QBs, only the overrated ones.
Kyler Murray and Trevor Lawerence shine against better defenses.

With the running game actually looking great, why did Bama insists on 40 yard passes every fourth play?
The underneath stuff was there off boots and waggles. Clemson has a better plan and executed very well.
Bulova makes it where the coach feels like they have to have a TD. How in the world is there not a man on that campus who can make extra points 99% and FG inside of 35 yards at 90%? Is there not some rich kid soccer player who is willing to walkon?

I know you're melting hard, but Kyler and Lawrence did just fine against bamas D.
I'm sure your response will be that bama LSU gif probably.

You are such a great judge of character. It's just uncanny.

Tua started believing all the media hype and looks for the homerun pass every play.
