Milroe is what we wanted to do with Hurts. Have him sit a year or two, learn the offense, and develop him. But, Blake Barnett panicked and transferred. Next season Milroe will be a monster.

Hurts beat out Barnett. Barnett transferred after the 3rd or 4th game of the season. If he was going to start, he would have. He started the game against USC, got pulled and that was it.

Hurts wouldn't have remained the starter if Barnett stayed. Do you remember how bad our offense was under Hurts when he played a defense with a pulse?!

No I do not. The only game we had trouble with offensively was LSU.
The only game we lost that year was the final game against Clemson. And while everyone blames Jalen, we were leading and only needed to stop Clemson on their last drive. Many point to the number of plays Clemson ran to blame Jalen, but he still scored over 30 points, and Clemson went the entire game without a single hold somehow on all those plays. Even then Clemson still needed a pick play to win the game.
The only thing I remember thinking was he was going to be even better in the future and I hoped his passing game would improve.

I think Alabama went 3 and out 8 times in that game. The offense turned the ball back over to Clemson so often that they ran 99 plays. 99. The defense played finally just played out.

Can Nick convince the kid to hang around for another year?

The guy completed about 45% of his passes playing 2 hand touch. I think we’re safe here.

We were very thrilled with him, and despite thinking Quinn was in the fold out of high school, we were all extremely bummed he changed his pledge to Alabama.
Don't think anybody blamed him though. It was clear Tom Herman wasn't going to stay, and even if he was, he had not delivered on his promise to have a new offense like he said they would run after the 2020 season.

I counted 6, but there were also a few 4 and 5 play drives that ended in a punt after getting a 1st down on the first play of the drive etc.
And on the drives we scored on, they were also over quickly. That's one thing I hate about explosive plays. They get points, but they don't give your defense a rest.
Things didn't really turn until we lost Bo. I don't know why Sark abandoned the running game at that point.
Jalen certainly didn't have a good game, but we were in it.

The aura around Jalen Hurts and our memory of him is one of the strangest I’ve ever seen.
Came in on fire.
Defenses (and us fans) quickly realized he can’t throw a football.
He got exposed vs above average D’s
We begged for Tua all of Hurts 2nd season
SUCKED in the Natty, Tua saved us
But ask anyone now, and Hurts was a legend lol but dude was a$$ for real

Exactly! And the next year when Tua got us a mighty 16 points against Clemson, the same Bama fans blamed our defense for losing that game but didn't blame our defense for blowing it against Clemson after Hurts scored the go ahead TD.
Bama fans are spoiled and stupid.

You left out the part where Hurts played his arse off only to be outmatched by Deshaun Watson.
What he lacked in arm talent he made up for with heart and work ethic.

Put aside the fact that Jalen was SEC PotY as a freshman and led Bama to two straight CFP appearances and an SEC Championship as a starter. Hurts was a legend because even after being replaced/humbled by Tua in CFPCG, he didn’t pout or whine, he stuck around for a year, fought to be the starter, wasn’t a distraction when he got beat out, was a supportive backup/good teammate, learned how to be a better passer, and then came in for Tua late in the SECCG to lead Bama to an SEC championship in dramatic fashion. If Tua hadn’t gotten hurt in that game, Bama most likely loses…
He graduated from Bama and then, in a classy way, transferred as a grad student to OU, led them to a playoff appearance as a Heisman finalist, and now’s a starter in the NFL. A$$ QBs don’t do that…but legendary QBs do…

Nice player but he isn't making half those plays in a real game.
Players can't hit and were going half speed on some plays.
Strong arm and elusive.

If Jalen was so good at Bama Tua wouldn't have come to Bama and Jalen was a year ahead of him. Rather, Tua went to Bama because he knew he was better than Jalen the minute he stepped on campus.
Jalen was a project at Bama that I believe the staff hoped to redshirt. Like I said Blake Barnett panicked and transferred.
And, while I'm a Bama fan Jalen's record and awards at Bama should have an asterisk because he played his freshman year with arguably the best defense in SEC history. His sophomore year Jalen was all but figured out but Bama out-talented and out coached everyone until the national championship game when If they didn't play Tua they wouldn't have won.

He didn't seem hurt the week before the Clemson game. And I'm not sure what part of being hurt was behind the flaws in his game.

It was the only game Tua was good in against a good defense, and that was because Georgia didn't game plan for him(or at least properly). And people forget the reason why it was 2nd and 26 to start with.
The truth is, Tua made terrible decisions and didn't know how to get rid of the ball. He was always trying to be the hero and it cost him more than it helped. Thankfully, he gave us that national championship, because the rest was kind of bust.
