A coach who doesn't start a player who has multiple starts and is the better player would be the idiot.
Tua just needed PT. He was always more talented than 2017 Hurts, and it took the most extreme desperation for Saban to play him over Hurts.

You mean Bennett may have started over this guy but no way he started over him a few months ago?
No coach is going to bench a backup QB, especially one who won the national title with clutch play. You keep on forgetting the only reasons coaches will or will not change QB's. Its not that hard.

Bowers was a better receiver than Washington who only had like 10 catches all year so that was an actual plus. Daniels had Burton, the guy with two last names, the Smith guy, etc.
We had big plans for Washington, but we had to adjust when he got hurt. Him being hurt did not help us one bit vs Clemson.
Bowers (freshman, 0 catches)
Besides Burton, who had 2nd most snaps, this is what he had playing in that game:
Jack-Saint (4 career catches)
Ladd (freshman, 0 catches)
Jaylon Johnson (walk on)
Justin Robinon (freshman, 0 catches)
AD Mitchell (freshman, 0 catches)
Arian Sith (2 career catches)
6 career catches and a walk on @ WR.
Pretty much every QB is going to struggle when you add that into the other circumstances.

You claiming that Bama did not benefit from Pickens only playing 18snaps is far more laughable.
Not when Pickens could have played significantly more.
quote:
What would you rather have?
A. 1500 yards of Pickens and JTD
B. 500 yards of Pickens and Bennett + 200 yards rushing Bennett
I'd rather have statue JTD and his 155 rating. Unfortunately, the Georgia coaches made the wise decision.

So it is nothing besides your own unqualified assumptions. Zero quotes to support your claim.
It's simple logic of a less severe injury combined with players who have done it. There would be no logic to not playing significantly more 5 weeks after playing 20.

If Tua had started the year before you would have a point.

JTD will be the starter no matter how many games Bennett starts. That's funny.

Bowers had 6 catches against Clemson. That's 60 pct of what Washington had all year.

He played a defense ranked similar to Bama's.

This makes no sense.
Any play with Pickens on the bench was a plus for bama.
This means more plays he missed, the more bama benefitted.
According to you, he missed a significant amount of plays.

Only an idiot would rather have 800 less yards. Even saban thinks you are an idiot.

You are still ignoring 2 things:
1. the advice of the surgeon who performed his repair
2. the upcoming nfl combine and draft

This makes no sense. My point was about talent, so experience is irrelevant.

Well, When the starter gets hurt, and never again proves to have the durability required……

Due to his inexperience, He dropped a td that Washington would have caught.

YEP, but This makes the above point about WR inexperience even more important.

Then the Georgia coaches are idiots.

His advice was to play 20 plays in his 2nd game back. He wouldn't advise him not to play more 5 weeks later in the biggest game he had ever played in and maybe the biggest game he would ever participate.
quote:
2. the upcoming nfl combine and draft
When considering the NFL draft players either sit out or play all out.

It makes perfect sense. Some of the most talented players in college football history didn't start until a certain point, like Tua.

What does that even mean? You don't start your best player in the biggest game because he might get hurt? No, the one you start is the one you see as your starter.

Washington had one TD catch all year. That's funny stuff.

Pickens was a luxury after having an injury that ends many seasons.

How so? The players were hurt. Unless you are dumb enough to think the coaches injured them, which could be the case.

Yes. His advice was to ease back into it. That’s always been his advice.
That was also the advice of his parents.

Or they do exactly what Pickens did.

All you are doing is agreeing with me that there are reasons why a more talented player doesn’t start.

It means the guy got hurt, which cost him his job. Durability is very important for a qb, and he proved he didn’t have that.

Do you remember that td? Same type pass play that bowers dropped vs clemson.
So injuries cost us 2 obvious tds vs Clemson, and maybe more.

Certainly wasn't someone they played as much as they could.

You keep claiming it but the Georgia sites said JTD was healthy.

Ease back by playing 7 and then 20.

You mean play less than he could? So much for his competitiveness you were touting.
