Jalen Hurts- slide on over to Starkville, Ms

[Coach34]

He abandons the pocket way too early. Our guys are better

Our guys are mostly 1 read QB's.

[Covercorner2]

Hurts in 2016- 23 TD's 9 picks 62.8%
Hurts in 2017- 17 TD's 1 pick 60.6% (after losing Lane Kiffin for a more pro style)

Hurts 40 TD's....10 picks...4900 yards... 60-plus completion percentage

That's not that hard to do with his supporting cast.

Coker threw 21 TDs and 8 picks for 3110 yards while completing 66% of his passes. Is he better than Hurts?

Blake Sims threw 28 Tds and 10 picks for 3487 yards while completing 65% of his passes. Is he better than Hurts?

No- because Coker didnt have 855 yards rushing on 154 carries to go with it

Whatever fits the narrative. First you pick passing, now its rushing. Regardless, both Coker and Sims had more total yards in their full year as a starter (Sims by almost a full thousand) than Hurts did this year. Sims also had 35 total TDs; Coker 23; Hurts 25.

running and throwing are part of being a QB in college football. Bottom line- Hurts is a good college QB

No one is saying he isn't, but saying he is head and shoulders better than what we have in the locker room right now based on what he has accomplished at ALABAMA is short sighted.

Did I say he was head and shoulders better? Or just better?

Either way, point remains. Why would Hurts transfer somewhere if he wasn't the odds on favorite to start? He would be in the same exact position he is in now with less of a chance to win rings.

Damian Williams would have the same record as Hurts. Shit, Hurts is a one read QB who is inaccurate. He is a tough MFER and can run. But he plays for an offense that has as much talent as the Packers. Nick, knows this, why do you think he put TUA in the game?? Bama could win 10 games a year just running the wildcat. Hurts playing anywhere else is an average QB. why? because He sux as a passer. We don't need Hurts, we have 2 QBs that can run--plus the are better passers and can check down. Give Nick -Bammers wrs and he looks way better.

No point in arguing with them we had some that said at the same point in their careers Dak was a better QB than Lamar Jackson. I would certainly welcome Hurts in to compete for the job. You can't ever have too many qualified QBs on a roster. we were one injury away from being in a bad situation this year. FWIW if he ends up transferring I think he ends up at FAU in the offense that made him who he is.

[Pollodawg]

you lost your job and its not coming back. Transfer over and compete for the job at State in 2019

Had this exact same thought last night.

[TrapGame]

I can see Saban letting him go to FAU but not another SEC school. Can you imagine the fallout from fans if Jalen were to go to State or A&M and that team beats Bama b/c Jalen plays lights out?

the consensus is all your post in this thread are the terrible ones. Your lead post turned out to be asinine. you don't think Bama would have won ten with Damian Williams, hell I do.

Claiming that Hurts is better than Fitz is probably C34's worst take since he claimed over and over for 2 years that Les Miles was a better coach than Saban.

Hurts threw for less than 150 yards per game, only threw for over 200 yards twice this year, and anytime Bama played a team that was remotely close to them in talent (UGA, Auburn, Clemson, even FSU) Bama's offense grinded to a halt. Bama's talent differential over 80% of the teams they play greatly lessen the impact of the QB. They have more NFL guys around Hurts on offense than any team in the SEC, but when they played elite defenses, they could barely score. 250-260 total yards and 17 offensive points vs Clemson & FSU, little to no production vs Auburn, and ZERO points vs UGA

Fitz is arguably the worst passer of the 4, but he?s got the most experience at the moment

[I_Spy]

Fitz has drops though. Young TE’s maybe older dropped some and the receivers. A train may have caught or had good hands. I’m for KT to Jason 42 yards TD.

[confucius say]

If hurts wants to play in the NFL he will stay at Bama. As a rb. He was their best ball carrier this season.

He has no nfl future as a qb. He may as a rb.

Fitz’s drops have just as much to do with the type of ball he throws as it does with bad WRs.
