How well is Nick Saban handling his QB situation?

[beazy]

So Skips just gonna ignore Michigan losing its first game after he picked them to win the chip lmao

[caveloc]

Tua is the truth, & sometimes the truth "HURTS."

[slowyarole]

They always say "Can we see this/that play again?" They play it, but the TV audience never gets to see the video. Why?

[validitysports]

Am I the only one that wishes we could see the videos that they see when they talk about it?

[beezysbeatz]

Kudos Joel Klatt for propping up Urban Meyer a bit on his handling of OSUs "QB controversy". Finally some love frm someone at the mothership

[derrycktarver]

What a lot of people dont know is that Tua said he was leaving after last season, however when he got put in championships and performed well he stayed. So now Saban strings Hurts along to keep him there as the back up.

[yosh]

like if Joel platt should be on this show permanently.

Sorry Skip, but Saban actually complimented Tua for being able to keep his eyes down field on that first td throw, Saban's not uncomfortable with Tua's style of play, it's more that he's never had a qb this gifted at spinning the ball. So Nick is gonna keep harping on work ethic and not depending on talent alone. My problem with his handling of the qb thing, is that he never felt sorry for Blake Barnett when Hurts won the job, and anyone thinking they wouldn't have gone 26-2 with Barnett is just plain naive. They beat Clemson with Jake Coker throwing for 330 yards.

I love Joel on this show. He actual acts like a human being. Admits when he is wrong, doesn't shy away from agreeing on flaws that whatever subject has. Meaning, he actually listens to other people's perspective. Unlike Skip, who, I'm pretty sure in his mind has never been wrong and refuses to hear a different side to any story.

[screamindemonlp]

If you actually did research, the apology wasn't at the press conference. Coach Saban said that he called Maria and apologized in private.

Jalen Hurts graduates in December. His father said he would be at Alabama this season no matter what. Jalen told Saban to use him however he sees fit this season. Saban did what he did out of respect for what Jalen had done for the team . Those who know, offensive coaches wanted Saban to replace Jalen with Tua before the season started last year and various times throughout the year but he didn’t do it, because Jalen was 26-2 . Can you imagine if he had played Tua after what Jalen had done without the world realizing Tua was the better player ? They would have killed him. The way Saban handled this was perfect the media is just mad because he doesn’t jump and move according to their time frame and let them know what is going on. Everybody on that team knew before fall camp ended Tua was starting he just didn’t tell the media. Tua couldn’t simply outplay Jalen he had to also win the respect of his teammates as Jalen had done so that the players would be onboard and you don’t divide your team. Once Tua achieved that he was pronounced the starter to the team first and then the media.

Nick should let him red-shirt and get his degree and that will allow him to transfer to another program and play

[darumpskin]

Aye goat klatt 🐐
give this man his own show

[bamahammer]

As a diehard Bama fan Coach Saban has given Jalen Hurts full respect with an opportunity to win the team. Tua has earned the right to be the starter with his performance in practice and on the field. I love myself some Jalen Hurts and what he has done at Alabama. Jalen graduates in December 2018 and will be immediately eligible to transfer as a graduate transfer. He will have two years of eligibility remaining as long as he plays four games or less during the season. Coach Saban has not forgotten what Jalen has done and I expect him to play him in four games or less so he will not lose that one year and can transfer to another football program. The only other reason Coach Saban would exceed the four games would be if Tua was injured. I expect Coach Saban to start putting third QB Mack Jones in the game once Alabama is ahead. But for right now due to the unknowns I expect to see Jalen come in the game on mop up duty to remain focused and sharp. Roll Tide.

[jprutx]

Hurts was given an opportunity now it’s Tua’s turn

[omieg]

When they play great defenses, passing the ball (Tua’s style) can result in more turnovers than running the ball (Jalen’s style). Also less time can run off the clock if the offense struggles. Don’t get me wrong, the ceiling for their team went up but there can be a down side.

[stringbeanrickjameslooking]

Some of y'all Bama fans turn on Jalen Hurts quicker than a cheetah cutting the corner trying to catch a gazelle without warning nor hesitation period.

[OhioOwns]

yeah I don't feel like Nick Sabans apology to the reporter was heartfelt enough, he should be fired and have his entire career ruined because of it.

[johnwhite]

Will Grier is in his last year at WVU. Hurts should transfer there and get massive numbers.
