re: Tua was “this close” to staying

How different would things be if Tua had just thrown a ball away against Tennessee and not sprained his ankle?

We would have whipped LSU and Auburn’s asses and destroyed the narrative about LSU, greatest team ever. Man, what could have been.

Bama was a flawed football team. They were talented just not a doorstop kind of team. We have literally gone from Defense U to the kind of offensive principles that would make "The Pirate" envious. Where do we go from here, especially with Bryce Young type talent in the barn?

This season felt a little like the kind of team Urban Meyer was putting on the field after their 2014 championship. Immensely talented from top to bottom but just flawed enough to keep getting beat somewhere they shouldn't have. It's tough at the top.

Although Tua wasn’t 100%, the mistakes he made in that game didn’t appear to be the result of his ankle injury. Also, most would think he would have learned to throw the ball away after sitting on the bench and watching Hurts run to the sideline and throw it away every other play for a year. Tua tries to make something out of nothing too often, and it costed him the past two seasons.
