he's not a great passer but he's good and a great runner.. the guy is a career 61% 2400 20 TD guy in a very heavy rush offense.. he doesn't complete all his throws but I haven't seen anyone who does.. He never gets credit for his great throws because some of the Bama arse hats are waiting to gripe about an incompletion.
He abandons the pocket too early, runs backwards without keeping his eyes downfield, doesn't progress through his reads quickly enough, and the poor footwork that comes with all of this is just hilariously bad. He seems incredibly gun shy and it's something that has gotten worse and worse every time he goes out there. He's not the first QB this has happened to and he probably won't be the last.
The QB film room with Jalen is probably filled with the same mistakes, over and over again.

So you just said he can pass then brought attention to everything but passing the football

His problem is his head...he is skeered of throwing interceptions ..so he doesn't throw the ball to wide open receivers. Scrambles around looks good but it's worthless .bottom line a loser..we win in spite of him not because .. exactly what saban said on hot mic

I appreciate all Jalen has done. He is a phenomenal player whose pure athleticism has won UA football games.
However, his limited skill set has placed UA in a number of bad and close situations that a more rounded player could have avoided.
Blake Sims is one of my all time favorite players, but he had similar limitations albeit a much better arm. My like for him as a player doesnt blind me to the fact that AJ or even Coker at QB probably win the 2015 NC. Blake had tremendous talent that was benefited by play calling to suit him. Key difference is that Kiffin is not here to engineer play calling to Jalen's strengths.
Saban needs a QB who can manage the game and consistently move the offense into good positions by utilizing ALL the tools around him.
Jalen's reluctance to move within the pocket and allow plays to develop down field wastes the talent at WR supporting him. He has shown no improvement in his accuracy or willingness to throw into tight windows. He is risk averse to a fault.
If the light eventually comes on for him, he will be incredible. Unfortunately, I think that window of opportunity is closing fast.

People keep saying this, but it isn't exactly true. He has just never been able to see a play develop and release the ball BEFORE the WR is wide open. He's not scared. He's just not good at it. He also seems pretty inept at reading defenses before the snap.

I’m a pretty fair-minded guy. Hurts did make one of the best throws I’ve ever seen, against our Tigers. He threaded the ball between four defenders and got a first down.
He may not be a pure passer, and is probably more dangerous with his running ability- but he can get it done.

Saban pulled the plug on Hurts at the half of Championship game cause he knew UGA was on their to embarrassing BAMA. During 2nd hf comeback receivers were catching passes & TD's that some had never even heard of. Why? Cause BAMA finally had a QB who scans the field, has confidence passing the ball & doesn't think run 1st on a passing play. Even if Tua is #1 QB there's gonna be quite a few games BAMA'S up 35 or 42-0 at the half so Hurts can come in 2nd half do what he does best, run the ball & run the clock out.

He’s a slightly better runner than J. T. Barrett and slightly worse throwing the ball.

Hurts reminds me of terrelle Pryor. Just don’t even try a pass rush. Make him sit in the pocket and try to beat you.

Ds must spy him and contain him.
He is an incredible athlete. Completely capable of picking any ill-prepared team apart with his LEGS.

Saban thought he couldn't pass based on the first half of the title game, and I'm sure he knows all Jalen's stats, so in a way you're calling Saban a freaking idiot

Thanks for bringing the IQ of the board down another notch.
