Alabama's quarterback competition shouldn't have to be put on hold for too long.
The hand injury Tua Tagovailoa suffered Tuesday is believed to just be a sprain and he should be able to return to practice in at least a limited capacity at some point soon, sources told AL.com.

I would actually prefer him to be "limited" in the spring.

Darn, I was hoping this hand injury was going to keep him from playing in November.
Oh well
Oh well

Didn’t even know he was injured.

They really thought a qb jamming his thumb in March was gonna kill the dynasty. Suckers

Not like we can beat Jalen anyway.

Why did they send him to Birmingham for a sprain?

Because DCH is the 7th level of hell. I wouldn't send a rat I found in the walls to that place.

So he will be able to do a full on Fonzie "hey" from the sidelines now?

not like many of us could beat Jalen if he rolled out there.
what does it matter?

You want your players healthy and practicing. Period.
This guy has played one half of meaningful snaps. I want him in there mastering the offense and perfecting chemistry with his receivers and linemen.
Not buying the "Tua being out of spring practice is a good thing because then Hurts won't transfer" line of thinking.

I want both healthy at all times.

QBs aren't what makes Bama good or bad. Never have been. I don't think anyone aside from Bama fans worry about who might be Bama's QB.

QB was the difference in winning a national championship and losing it.
But yea, either QB is good enough to win us 11 games probably, so it really doesn't factor in to most of our games/opponents.

Only because you had a lackluster OC who didn't know how to use Hurts. Tua is the better QB - no doubt in my mind but he would never have been needed with Bama's talent had your OC shown even a modicum of creativity. He was too straitlaced and didn't do a good job of maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses.
With a half-way decent OC, Bama could use grandma as a QB and win a Natty.

Eh, Jalen had lost all ability to read a defense and throw by the end of last season (and he never had a giant ability to do that as it was).
We had guys running free wide open for large chunks of the season on 2nd/3rd options that the QB just never saw.
DaBoll wasn't great, and I do agree we didn't play enough to Jalen's strengths, but his passing ability was not going to win that national title game no matter who was scheming things up.

Jalen never had the ability to read defenses. He was terrible under pressure and prone to mistakes when pressure happened. His mid-range passing was dreadful. What he did have was a strong arm and the ability to burn defenses with his legs. He could/can heave the ball downfield with decent accuracy. Kiffin maximized that by specializing in bombs and creating shorter dump-offs with the option to take designed runs.
Bama's OL was weaker than usual and that hurt a great deal but DaBoll sucked. UGA never should've been in that game. Bama had as good of a secondary as Auburn. The only difference was DaBoll trying to make a square peg fit a round hole and a weaker than usual (but still very good) Bama OL.
