The brace causes the problems you see. He doesn't like wearing it but the medical staff and coaches insist on it for his protection.

Yes, it's the brace causing him to miss throws he was making earlier in the year.

Braces can mess with your throwing technique. If it makes it more awkward for him to plant that foot correctly, it could screw with accuracy. I'm not saying he doesn't have an injury, because I'm not him. But, I can tell you from the knee and ankle injuries I've had, you don't move like that if it's something serious.

He was running better against MSU than he was against lsu.

Tua is amazing to watch. His footwork is light years ahead of everyone else. He's just one of those extraordinary rare athletes. He makes you love him because he isn't an arrogant prick like so many are.

I hope that yall go on to win the NC and he wins the Heisman. He deserves it more than anyone else in recent history.

I think he'd have to shite the bed royally for the next 3 games to lose the Heisman. I could be wrong though.

Personally, as much as I'd like to see him win it, I'd rather have the National Championship.

No knee injury. But wears a brace on his knee.


Jalen is “good to go if we need him”. But can barely move in warmups and drills and doesn’t go when needed.


Y’all do know Saban does lie? Nothing wrong with that. But it’s something you should acknowledge.

Amazing what a little Toradol can do.

You don't know the difference between hurt and injured. Every football team in America has half their team playing hurt.

He was actually warming up Saturday. He's serviceable to hand it of or throw quick passes. And he would have had Tua gone down.

If your hurt, you're probably injured.

If you're a QB playing with the type of brace Tua is wearing, you're definitely injured.

Right and did you see him warming up? If so, are you going to honestly say you think he could play?

I mean he's moving pretty good in OP's video compared to how he looked warming up

Jalen might of played a few snaps if he needed to but that MSU dline would have caused issues for him.

Mac on play action and alot of RB carries is the disaster package.

This is correct. Going back to the Missouri game, during wamrups Tua fought the brace constantly. He finally took it off and went with a sleeve instead. He's indicated more than once that the brace itself is uncomfortable.

As long as he wears the brace, he should be in little danger of injuring the PCL more than it has been. That being said, the constant shots he's taken to his legs and thighs come at their own cost.

The most significant issue last week was holding the ball too long looking for the deep kill shot. That's a young qb for you.

I feel like this whole narrative about Tua being banged up is completely fabricated by the media just to give people something to talk about. It gives the rest of CFB hope that bama might be human.


Tua isn’t hurt and they aren’t losing. If they lose I’ll be shocked. It would be one of the biggest upsets I could remember.

Toradol isn’t taking away knee pain but it works wonders on kidney stones. Miracle drug without the high groggy feeling.
