You're right man. Alabama won't have any chance vs Georgia.

Remind me what Jalen's stats were last year against Clemson. Remind me how long your defense was on the field in the second half. Remind me about what kind of numbers Deshaun put up against your D.


Because true freshman QBs (in this particular case, that were named SEC Offensive Player of the Year) have never been known to improve in their sophomore years passing the football. (Particularly with an OC that mentally checked out around early November).

He still has a ways to go to be an elite passer, and may never get there. But he's been MUCH better than he was around the end of last year. If he's just merely a solid passer, Bama is deadly. If he turns into a very good passer before he's finished (with his wheels, and the weapons around him), it's unfair.

Newsflash... true freshmen usually struggle at times against good defenses passing the ball, just as Fromm will at times this year.

Not with our starting QB. Jalen does need to get better.

Right because what about Saban's past tells you that he will pull his running QB/game manager and replace him with a guy who can actually make plays down the field. If Saban were to do this, he would basically have an NFL team and be unbeatable. But he refuses to for some reason. Therefore, he will not win the CFP in 2017.

Just watch. I bet you if the offense bogs down with Hurts as QB, Tua will be in shortly after.

Jalen Hurts deserved to be the SEC Offensive player of the Year last year. Admittedly he hasn't looked that great since winning it though.


This could have easily been said toward the end of last year, of course. But why are you saying that this year? He's been very good so far this year. Elite as a running QB and running the offense, and much improved (granted still work to do, but definitely getting better) passing. So you thought he deserved SEC OPOTY last year, but has regressed this year? Have I entered the Twilight Zone here? Has good suddenly become bad, and bad become good?

Coker in 2015 over Cooper Bateman. Hurts the next year over Blake Barnett.

Again. I believe I’m the only actual Dawg fan in this thread the rest are of the vomit orange variety. Or are you scared to say anything about Tennessee

Correction there are 3 of us. One told him to pump his breaks. The other said stahp it.

Jalen completed half his passes last night for 78yds. It's no secret he's struggled throwing the ball since the end of the regular season last year. If you want to be the ZeusStamos of Bama football then knock yourself out. But I'm gunna call it like it is no matter how much I luvs my team.

I didn't say he was bad and he hasn't regressed this year but he's only shown incremental improvement since last years post season and still isn't up to last years regular season performance levels. I'm not giving up on him but after 4 games I'm becoming concerned that he may have the dreaded sophomore slump. Have a little perspective.

I think they have it, but why use it if you can just crush your opponents like they are doing....the only team that can beat the updykes are the updykes

Cooper Bateman was absolute shite and you're honestly telling me that Hurts is a guy you can count on to make a 20 yard pass in a big game?

Reading comprehension, man. Go back a read every post I made on this thread. Here are some helpful tips:
1. Learn your ABC's
2. Start from the left and move your eyes to the right
3. Really concentrate on the message I'm trying to get across
4. Take some Tylenol if you start to get a headache.

If you do all of this, you will see that I never said UGA was Clemson.
