ChimpGrip Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 We got a sneak peek last of what he can do. He was not perfect, but keep in mind he was only a freshman. My prediction is that as a sophomore, he will be by far and away better than any other Bama QB Saban has had. How good can he be? Could he be a future Heisman Trophy winner? Could he be truly elite one day or never go beyond “very good”? For what it’s worth, the Bama OL should be as good as the Tide has ever had as far as pass-blocking goes. RB depth will be the best in college football by a sizable margin (and maybe the best Bama has ever had). The receivers will be young but very good. OJ Howard and Ridley were wasted talents with Hurts at QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Tua is mechanically and fundamentally precise in what little I saw in the blow out win earlier in the season and at that point I said to myself.... "Self, that's a quarterback... and he looks to be better than the incumbent, a lot better". I think the true measure will be after Tua has had a season under his belt, and the opposition has film on him. I'm looking forward to see what he does.

HELL, they MAY not even be the best in the SEC, with Elijah Holyfield being the FIFTH best back at UGA, while Dalvin Cook's lil bro comes in at #4! Brian Herrien is #3, then they have the TWO FIVE STARS, D'Andre Swift and Zamir White, at #1 and #2! And Tua will be Justin Field's BITCH! UGA hadn't prepared for a dual threat QB in the Mercedes Benz Stadium! NOW, they WILL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that tua and najee Harris almost transferred last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you need the strongest of arms to run Bama's offense....Let's be real here... Tua hasn't had the leash put around his neck like Hurts...Yet...

Did you see tua throw in OT against Georgia. Tua has the arm to do that. Jalen had no chance. Alabama is starting to open it up a little bit. No it'll never be big 12 or pac 12 football ever. It's still smash mouth with some of the best RBS in college. The 17 class has to get harder btw the ears. You cant have 4 of the top players threatening to transfer including najee and tua. No other coach in the country would have pulled their starter like Saban did in a national championship game. He had to make that move and it worked.

My hope is that we throw the ball far more effectively while maintaining that physical Bama ground game that made Bama great to begin this dynasty. It’s just exciting to see we finally have what could be an elite QB. Hurts should not see the field again as QB unless Tua and Mac are both either injured or doing terrible. Hurts should be done at QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we maintain a ground game that can pound opponents into submission and wears them down, then I’m fine with the greater number of passing attempts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
