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. Blake Coker won an SEC and national with as little talent as he had. Being a leader is more than talent.

By saying "he" you obviously don't mean "team." So Tua doesn't get credit for the '18' SEC championship in any manner?

Are you going to then give him credit for winning Alabama the National Championship? He was only the MVP of the game.

And it's "Jake" Coker. And all he had on that team was arguably the greatest running back in the history of Alabama football and NFL talent all over the defense and OL. And the world's greatest punter to flip the field. Poor "Jake."

I said he didn't win a championship as a starter, which is true. I love the guy but he could have done so much more with his talent if he hadn't been so focused on his pass completion and learned to throw it away. Also if we want to discuss the talent around a player. Tua had at least 3 first round WRs helping him out. Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith, and Waddle will probably be a first rounder next year.
