Saban is correct and it doesn't take a football expert to figure that shite out. In both instances (Tennessee and Mississippi State) the play was dead and Tua had been chased miles behind the line of scrimmage before throwing the ball away just before getting hit. In both instances, had he thrown the ball away as soon as the play was dead, he wouldn't have gotten injured.

Just about every player who has played QB for Saban at Alabama has been able to do this and do it well. Tua continually refused to accept failure on a busted play instead of cutting his losses and waiting until the next play to make up for the mistakes made on the previous play. Sometimes that led to a scramble for a first down, sometimes it led to a turnover, and sometimes it led to an injury. It sucks but there it is and Saban isn't trash for pointing it out.

Here come the sheeple... the kid should have never been in the game. He could barely walk after the LSU game. Who was rushing him back to compete in these games?

While this may be true in a close game with the game on the line...that's not what happened. I was watching the game and the announcers said.."Tua is probably through for today, he is shaking hands with the lineman and taking a seat on the bench. There would be no reason for him to play with a 35-7 lead and it will give him a chance to heal more." Then someone came to my door. I returned after a few minutes of talking to a person who had the wrong address and Tua is being taken off the field on a stretcher....so...no Saban does not protect his players like he should. I said the same thing about Muschamp leaving Hilinski in the game against UGA when Hilinski was obviously limping...It was wrong of my coach Muschamp and it was wrong of Saban not to protect these guys....

This is one of the most absurd points I’ve read on here. All of the blame is on Tua, really, Saban has no blame at all? It’s like our bodies don’t go into protection mode when we have an injury somewhere else on our body. The fact is Tua was injured and shouldn’t have been playing and we wouldn’t even be discussing this if the head coach makes the wise and responsible decision. Yet after all this is done, he blames it all on Tua... how do y’all not see this?

He better learn it in the NFL or he won't last long there either.
Burrow does it a lot too.
He's been better at it this year than last but he's taken some unnecessary shots.

All you said may be true but he should have kept his mouth shut. The optics of continuing commenting on something like this is not good. Especially for him since he is notorious for stonewalling and lecturing the media on topics he doesn't want to comment about.
