Exactly. Tua is freaking special

Have you lost your ever loving mind? Did you watch the same NC game that I did?
Tau throws as pretty of a pass that you'll ever see. Did you see what he just did on the biggest stage versus what Key did in the Egg Bowl? I'm not down on Key, but you're WAAAYYY off on this one!
You'd squelch on the bet if Coach took you up on it anyway, so it's all a mute point.
I disagree. I think Key does every bit of what Tau did tonight.
I think Bama was prepared to play Tau, while I don't think Mullen was prepared to play Key. That alone is the difference IMO.
Key is bigger, steps up into the pocket better, & has a more natural arm stroke than Tau.
You're on. $100 bet that Key gets drafted higher than Tau as a QB. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat crow.
Tau pushes the football. He in absolutely no way throws the ball like an NFL QB.
His 2nd TD pass was thrown to another guy & Ridley cut in front & his last one was to a wide open guy.
Key is more talented at the ingredients that make NFL QBs successful.
Do you want to bet as well?
This is insanity. First, Fitz would not be as good as Jalen at Alabama. Second,Jalen has issues but one of them is that Saban brought in an NFL OC to deal with him. With a Mullen, Jalen would be putting up stupid numbers (like he did with Kiffin!).
To add, this has nothing to do with who is more talented & who is the better draft prospect. It's just an insignificant point that confuses evaluators.
Yes, Tau is currently more advanced. My guess is that he received more coaching, camps, etc than Key did at a young age, but Key has better ingredients to be an NFL QB.
If you don't believe me, just wait and see.
Also, please call me out when I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, I want the entire world to know.
Fitz led the SEC in total yards in 2016. He already was better than Jalen, at State. Give Fitz WR's who adjust and catch passes that hit their hands and he's a finalist in NYC. Not sure why this is so difficult to see. We have average WR's at best who do not have great hands and/or the ability to make plays and adjust to the ball. Bama has a stable of these types of guys.
Exhibit 1
Go to 24:10 on the video. The pocket presence, velocity, accuracy, & actions that Key shows on this throw are something that Tau cannot do. Tau may be able to make this throw, but not like this. This is what future NFL QBs look like.
Because Tau's low, push arm path, he can't throw the football downhill with velocity. Key has a higher slot & throws the ball downhill. The arm strength & carry isn't close.
Also check out the arm strength that Key shows at 12:40 on the video. Tau doesn't have that.

You don't have to be that guy because Bama played Kent State, Western Kentucky, Chattanooga, and Kentucky in 2016 as well. They played almost identical schedules as we did. The did play USC and was only major difference in regular season. They got a terrible Tennessee team while we got an average South Carolina.
Well because that's not what i said. I said swap the teams and Fitz gets invited to NYC. I said Bama's talent elevated a ho hum Hurts and made him look much better than he actually is. All things equal and Fitz is the better QB. Period. Having a better year does not make a player better.
