re: Saban needs to be upfront with Jalen Hurts.

Y'all choked away the '13 championship game with a comfortable lead. Guess Ole Gus is willing to shell out the cash the way Gene would.

Right, when Sony and Nick were busting open 70 yard runs that was pure luck.

Nicks job is to win football games. That is what he is Paid to do. That is all he cares about. That is all he thinks about. He is of one single mind. Like a nuclear physicist genius he could step off a cliff while thinking about zone defenses. He doesn’t know his wedding anniversary or his kids birthdays. Probably not even sure how old he is. He doesn’t know what he is worth or what he owns or have any idea where the keys to his lake house or boat are. Waste of money. He does knows all the plays he ran against LSU in the 3rd qtr in 2014. He knows the recruits he wants this year and next.

All his “real friends” are football coaches and football people.He is what he is and damn good at it.

He is not paid to be “good guy” ethical person, role model or any of that bullshite. (That was Les Miles and he is still unemployed.) He is paid to win at at school that is “all in” That’s all that matters. Bama is all business all the time. You are an asset or you are processed. The kids all know that going in.

He really isn’t even a bad guy to those that know him like many of my family members. He is “Satan” himself to LSU but you can’t bitch about him doing what he is paid to do.

Hurts is out. He can be a backup or transfer. Up to him. What makes you think Saban has not been upfront about this ?

If Jalen can’t see the hand writing on the wall he is not as bright as we were led to believe. If he starts the first game next fall Saban will lose the team.

Zeus, UGA fans like you are why no one here will ever like or respect Georgia.

I could even see him giving them both significant snaps in the opener against Louisville to further the charade. And why not? Bama will probably be favored by 30 points in that game. But when the meat of the schedule rolls around

Have you seen Bama's schedule for next year... there is NO MEAT to it. Jalen, Tua or Mac could all go undefeated. Jalen may start and likely finish the season as the starter.

there's only one team I can see keeping it closer than 3 TDs The meat of the schedule will be in the Playoffs.. or depending on who wins the East

Obviously a ploy to keep Jalen from transferring

The funny thing is, it might be to keep Tua from transferring. Saban knows Tua can play, but he also knows that Tua sometimes plays reckless.

Hurts has thrown one interception in his last sixteen games. Saban values that more than anything in a quarterback. The principal reason Saban wins is that he plays the percentages on EVERYTHING. Every route, every player, every coverage, every play call. You rarely see him take an unnecessary risk, and even when he does seemingly take risks, they have been meticulously calculated. The one thing you hear most from coaches who have been in the system is that his level of detail and consistency is what makes him different. There is absolutely no scenario he doesn't make them plan for in coaches meetings.

Believe me, I personally think Tua has earned the right to start, but I'm not 100% convinced that one miracle half in the NCG has convinced Saban to move away from the safety zone of mistake free football. I believe he is sure that zero turnovers by the offense gives his defense a better chance of winning than 300 passing yards per game.

He played a solid half of football in one game all year... earned the right to start over the QB that led us to 2 straight championship games, he has not.

If he beats Jalen out in the spring or at some point during the season i'm certainly cool with that but he's certainly not a shoo in to start.

If you read my post, I laid out the reasons Saban will likely start Hurts.

Simply because I prefer the better passer doesn't mean that Saban does.

Will Kirby be upfront with Fromm? I mean Fields is the next big thing right?
