Tua doesn’t strike me as a racist, so I cannot agree.

I'm not defending orlovsky as a QB or analyst... But do you think showing gifs of Saban playing DB for Kent State has any revelance to his coaching ability?

Won the National Championship in only 2 Quarters of play. I'd say he has played quality teams already. Tua is legit and you are just going to have to deal with it.

Dan Orlovsky doesn’t coach and works for ESPN. Enough said.

And somehow there are still doubters.

Actually, I don’t know if it’s doubt or refusal to accept what you see

Maybe that's all you've seen him play, but he played quite a lot last season and played well, played better than Jalen Hurts did for damn sure, every time out.

1. Tua is going to be very, very good. I think he'll win, or come close to winning a Heisman before he's done.

2. Dan Orlovsky is a moron for picking that comparison.

0.01% chance jalen hits that throw in stride.

No, but Jalen Hurts could have been the end of Saban. It would have been crazy if not Ohio State, Clemson, or another program brought down Alabama, but one of its own players.

If Saban had in fact settled on Jalen Hurts, I can only assume it would have been due to early dementia.

Give me a break. The guy has made about as many bad plays as good ones. He is like giving an inexperienced soldier a hand grenade. If he remembers to pull the pin, then if he remembers in the chaos and has the discipline to count to 3 before he throws it. Then if he throws it true. Then if he doesn't hit a tree limb or obstruction and have it bounce back into his lap or own troops then it may work.

I think he can be a damn good QB. If the other players perform (no QB looks good on a bad team). But he looks chaotic at times since he lacks experience. 1 season playing little and 1/2 and then 1 game after missing spring and much of summer practice. No way he can be doing what most SEC QB's are doing at this point and that is reading defenses and getting all the players in the right spots and teams will take advantage. But he has a hell of an arm and no fear of throwing it. That combo will bite him at times. And work some. So far he has had luck on his side.

He said that we’ve never seen anything like him as far as a guy who can run and throw at an exceptional level. That’s fricking ridiculous, I can think of a guy who ripped Bama a new a-hole in 2 National Championships that fits the bill pretty well

So he will make it to the finals and lose 3 out 4 times? He went and won once, so 3 straight losses now?

These are team sports.

I think he's just saying Tua is the best college football player he's ever seen, period.

If Ray Allen missed that shot, is Lebron any better or worse at basketball? No, he's the same player. He is what he is. Which is the best basketball player of all time.
