How many touchdowns does Tua throw next year?

What are the board's thoughts, now that his stock is probably higher than it ever will be?
For reference:
The NCAA record is 58.
Drew Lock threw for 44 last year.
The Alabama record is 30 by AJ McCarron.
Hurts threw for 23 in his freshman year and 17 this year.
Tua threw for 11 this year.
I'm going to guess 28, equalling Blake Sims in 2014.

Are they set with WR?

30-35. Bamas offense next year returns everyone but Bozeman and Ridley. Unreal.

I think something like 35. Nothing crazy but a good number. Probably won't be throwing the ball like Lock was in the 4th quarter much

Harris will be s big factor behind that great O line that they have, so he will not have to throw it like Lock did.
I will say 25 to 30. Kid is a baller.

Depends on how many times Alabama gets down two scores in a game and allows him to throw. I’ll say a 1.5 td per game average. 25-30

I would say (I assume along with most Alabama fans) we should be overall better at WR next year. The Ridley loss will hurt, but Foster and Sims never really seemed as good as the trio of freshmen: Jeudy, Ruggs, and Smith.
Plus Irv Smith seems like a solid receiving TE, and Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs are both good receiving threats from the HB position

If he is healthy, he could break this but probably not by much.
This is still Saban's Alabama team which means a lot of rushing TDs and if the game is out of hand then you'll see either (1) running the ball to shorten the game or (2) the back up QB being the one throwing any fourth quarter TDs. You aren't going to see the starter padding passing TDs stats very often. Over 30 is a big number at Bama (obviously since 30 is the all time record). To hit huge numbers approaching 40+ you probably have a bad defense and are constantly in shootouts with the starter slinging to the end of the game.
I'll say 32 if he starts every game.

I'm not looking forward to it. This is all Georgia's fault. If they would've let Hurts have a tad bit of succes, then Tua doesn't comes in and possibly transfers. Now we have 3 years of Tua. Thanks a lot dawgs

142 to match the number of Alabama National Titles

Bama has recruited well at WR on paper, but Hurts only threw to Ridley, so we tealy don’t know. I have to think it’s a solid group though.

42 or so. He'll run for some as well.
Saban usually runs the ball a lot to bleed the clock once the games are decided so that will hurt his numbers some.
He did let Tua get some passing experience this year though in mop-up time as the back-up.

Probably around 20-25. Tua's TD numbers won't be gawdy at all. Bama has too many talented running backs who will vulture a lot of TDs when they are in the red zone. The major difference will be the efficiency. McCarron was a very good QB because he was very efficient. Bama was ranked in the teens in 3rd down conversion percentage all three years he was the starter. I expect a similar ranking next year with Tua. There will also be fewer sacks given up. Bama was ranked 70th in sacks allowed in 2017 even they were only ranked 89th in overall attempts. That's because Hurts had very poor pocket presence and often held on to the ball way too long. Tua will do a much better job avoiding sacks because he's much quicker making reads and he's also better at eluding the pass rush.

Shavers was the #12 receiver in their recruiting class and he RS'ed this year. 6'6" tall too.

I doubt he throws more than this his whole career. It just isn't in Alabama's DNA to throw the ball around a lot. I mean, he is capable, sure. I just don't think Alabama will throw it enough.
