dognation2 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 After Jones’ performance is there question about whether Jalen isn’t even the 2nd best QB on the roster? I think that’s probably a bit of a stretch, but from a pure passing standpoint and not a leadership perspective I think the case can be made that Hurts is the 3rd guy. I didn't get a chance to watch it all but what I saw wasn't good. Jalen did go against the 1st team defense so at least that can be an excuse. Jones will have to get ready, Hurts and Tua won't both be on this roster come fall football time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75center Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 For a running/defense type of team Alabama sure gets it's share of very good QB's. Jones looked very good although I would like to have seen him go against the first team defense to get a better feel of what he can accomplish. And now Tua's younger brother has committed.

Why won't he be there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AverageJoesGym Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Not drinking any Kool-Aid. I was stating the culture. They are happy with 8-4. Not underestimating Chip Kelly. He did a great job at Oregon. They may be happy with 8-4 or 9-3. The question is will Chip Kelly be happy with that? Because I don't think it will be that hard for him to get to 8-4. Do you think that will satisfy him and he won't keep pushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any coach worth their salt, myself included, wants to win every single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the ability, recruiting base and facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pi Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Did anyone else read that article and think while his dad did say he "messed" up that it came off as an attempted power play with the free agent comment? If so I doubt seriously that threatening to transfer from Alabama will make Nick Saban lose much sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure Saban would lose much sleep over it because Tua appears to be the superior QB in most people’s eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
