You can stop with the generational talent bullshite. Nowadays, this sport gets this so called "generational talent" two and three times a season, every season.

According to alot of folks, this Bryce Young is "generational talent" too. How many generations of "generational talent" can you fit in two football seasons?

People babbled about how Jalen's first season was "generational talent". Joe Burrow is generational talent. That frickin' kid at Ohio State is generational talent. Trevor Lawrence is supposed to be generational talent. Deshaun Watson was generational talent. College football's filthy with this so called generational talent. There's nothing new here.

Who isn't "generational talent" nowadays? Players that are supposed to come around no more than twice in a lifetime, now show up two to three times a season. Save that "generational talent" shite. It's a tired, overused phrase.

Anyway, let's strip the veneer from all this for a moment, shall we.

Tua and his "generational talent" was a culmination of this....

2 and 26.

Various ailments and infirmities that no one could ever stop talking about.

A bus load of percentages and statistics with little to show for it.

And other than one half of incredible football, not one clutch moment in three seasons where he put the team on his back and carried them to something meaningful.

Tua gave Alabama 2 and 26 and that's good enough, I'm not asking for more. But other than that, I'm not gonna pretend the guy was much more than a culmination of numbers and bobo's.

He was injury prone but do you ever think he didn’t have clutch moments bc of those “bus loads of stats” you speak of?? Dude hardly played in 4th qtr of many games . To deny his talent is crazy IMO

I think the NFL will recognize and reward him for his talents

You are a tough guy to please. What really went wrong? The coaches let the most talented offensive talent ever inlisted at Alabama down.

Since 2017 we have NOT reloaded with the same dedication and talent level with our whistleblowers. We lost our football identity as a team and we are now failing to develop the fundamentals that have been part of our DNA.

Injuries have exacerbated the coaching deficiencies, but sooner or later it rears its ugly head. Fix that and we'll talk.
