As far as tua's concerned, the sum of his parts, unfortunately, don't add up and a fair amount of it was his own doing.
Tua's biggest flaw was his ability to stay healthy. It really was Brodie Croyle all over again. But his left arm and magical, mesmerizing, probably never to be seen again tight spiral accuracy, no, that was sheer legendary stuff.
Tua threw 3 interceptions this season. Tua was never a reckless passer. Mac had 2 pick-sixes vs the barn and that doesn't really seem to be that concerning as a returning starting QB. And if logical minds prevail, it really shouldn't in this day of "offensive" football.
No one has ever come through Tuscaloosa with a better throwing motion or more arm talent with the exception of Joe Willie Namath.

That's true and his inability to stay healthy was a product of two things.
His body can't handle the physicality of division one football and his own bad judgement and inability to be coached.

The issue is what did he do with that spiral? He had one great half and that is it. He didn't win the Heisman, he didn't win the SEC, and he didn't win a championship as a starter. Blake Sims had an SEC championship as a starter. Jake Coker won an SEC and national with as little talent as he had. Being a leader is more than talent.
