I think Bama fans are living in fear that they came all over themselves after one half of a game and ran a QB that led them to two NC games out of town. Some saw the three Ints that Tua should have thrown and realize that not every secondary will play like UGA. But it is too late now that they planted the burning crosses, so it’s all in Tua.

Regardless of Tua's amazing 2nd half performance, he's still inexperienced and hasn't been on the road yet to play. I think Tua will be the bigger disappointment and I think because he will have his growing pains as a new starter, he will disappoint the first few games but should turn it around maybe around game 4 and 5.
Really want to see how he does vs Ole Miss on the road

That NC game was basically a road game in Atlanta. I know it was only half, but the limelight doesn't get much bigger than that. I expect he'll make mistakes like most young QBs do though.

Stidham’s pretty bad under pressure. Kirby figured that out. Now CFB knows. He won’t have a good 2018.
If he would have watched us play Clemson in week 2 then maybe he would have already had it figured out for the first game

Regardless of the final stat line for Tua, Tua was down by two scores when he came into the game. If my "high-risk, high-reward" QB could make up two scores in a single half on the biggest stage in the country, I'd be pretty damn happy. I don't think you can say that Tua was "close to losing" that game.

Bama was hard to beat when you could put 8 in the box and force Jalen to throw and they still ran on pretty much everyone what happens when those safeties can’t cheat anymore? I don’t expect Alabama heisman QBs but there might be a heisman RB running loose this year.
Taking sacks, slinging it up (when WRs aren't just wipe open), and not picking up that extra yard or 2 hurts does on 3rd and medium will start to add up. Those things just add more and more pressure on a QB who hasn't played a down where he would be blamed for a loss.

Are you so stupid as to believe that what other fans believe/think has any significance regarding what will occur with Alabama's team?

Alabama sucks.
Am I doing this right?
Make sure to order your lube early. 10/6 will be here before you know it.

Growing pains my friend. By the time the Bama/AU game rolls around he will be well passed those tendencies. That does not bode well for Auburn.
