Tua won Bama one game, Hurts took the team to the championships. At the end of the day, these two players helped each other out to win the games because it's not one person game, it's a team sport. Media and people are causing rumors to the point where these great players are gonna hate each other and try putting one down rather than working together
you said it all.
SaigaBoy Beast if it’s a team sport then why you said jalen brought them to the championship😹 the defense brought that team to the championship😹 tua is a better overall and well rounded QB. Tua is a better passer and can run well😌 so I think tua should start
Ive gained more respect for Jalen Hurts after watching this
Blow And Chill
What’s going on with you man? Daddy issues? Haha
Austin Lewis lmfao cry some more bitch I triggered your punk ass
Why because he cut them hideous dreads??
Tuas brother committed to Alabama who i think is better bigger and faster if he pisses off the Tagovailoa family Saban will lose at least 8yrs of having a solid QB in his program Hurts is done being a starter unless Tua really stinks it up which is hard to do when you have a defense like the tide seems to always have
Darius yo bitch you get on your knees yet?
Hurts is a class act. Period.
Good one
attitude and personality of good, but personal ability and great talent will prevail.
Obtuse One ungrateful bastard!!!!!
Pink and Gold glitter kitty y’all are ungrateful every single bama fan including nick savanna this man took bama to back to back national championships and fucks up once now his whole career is over with, I hope they start tia just so they can lose and then Jalen says nah he doesn’t want to play and no natty for bama this year
Not sure how lying is being a class act. He just said in an interview that no coach talked to him after the game and still no one has talked to him about the QB situation, YET he just said a couple of weeks ago he and SABAN talked and he reassured Saban he was committed to Bama.
So which is it? Did Saban talk to you or not? Seems like he knows he may not start, so he and his mom are going to start some drama over it with their recent comments.
I've been a fan of Jalen since day 1 and defended him numerous times on social media but it's obvious he can't read a defense or go through his WR progressions. If his primary receiver is covered, he takes off without checking down. That's not a QB, that's a RB playing QB.
I hope he gets to finish and graduate, that’s what you came to do. January is right around the corner! 💯💯💯
If your not getting a degree in Law, Some Science, Fiances, or some form of doctor....you are wasting your time
LOL Agreed. STEM is truly the way to go..........UNLESS you're an Entrepreneur that is!
Damn he must of been stacking his classes and doing summer school. He’s only a junior on the field
J DUB do u really think most D1 athletes go to school for school or for ball
I wish ncaa would include trade school options. That's alot better than majoring in sports recreation.
Jalen doesn’t deserve this disrespect!
His character doesn't, his play however does hahaha
Stephen Foster 2 years back to back going to the national championship?
Stephen Foster
Where did this narrative come from that Hurts is all of a sudden this trash QB now? help me out please...
greysaku the national championship is where it all started he jus had a bad game and tua took the spotlight😂😂 but jalen is good asf 💯💯 so is tua both very good qbs dont kno who takin the spot this year😂😂
No he don’t because at the end of the day these are young men in college.
Never heard Jalen say anything close to negative before. He spoke objectively though. Guess he’s maturing beyond being a QB.
mature beyond being a QB lol
I hope he realizes that too. This will go alot farther then just his football career...Jalen this a good thing ur experiencing not a bad!!!
Becoming a man who understands others don't dictate who he is IMHO. It sucks but he'll come out on top in life because of it.
Jalen is a class act and very mature for his age and I think anybody would be crazy not to get behind him
I kind of feel bad for him. There is no such thing as a 2 QB system. He defiantly should leave, to a throw happy system.
Just now realized how much Tua looks like Russell Wilson
jimmer vasquez stop it! Smh
Facs
Facts lmao
He’s looks like an older Russell Wilson😂😂
Been realized dat my dude.
Both of these kids handled themselves very well. I'm impressed by them both and I hope they both will keep the sportsmanship and mutual respect displayed in this interview!
Again
The media creates a storm to generate clicks, hits, & notoriety..... Not to mention $$$
But at the expense of people & fans taking shots at his character
Some even saying he's a quitter etc a coward avoiding competition & such
shame Shame SHAME
The man ain't opened his mouth about leaving
Or
Him starting or playing backup🙄
His dad opened his mouth. The media didn't make that up. His dad caused the problem for him. His dad gave Saban the idea that Jalen may transfer if he doesn't start. Jalen's dad caused this. Now his mom is running her mouth too.
Josh Rubin
A good coach always go to the horses mouth
Jalen said NO coach approached him or even seem too attempt to ask/inquire of any of the hearsay
You can't fault Hurt's parents for the coaching staff taking something & running with it
BOTTOMLINE
Something as critical as losing a Jalen Hurts is worthy of getting to the bottom of that type of rumor regardless of the source
And really, because it came from home warrants intervening all the more
You simply cannot remove that responsibility from Saban nor his staff
Now this also doesn't remove the fact that "IF" his folks did in fact speak these things, then they share the blame
They SHARE it not own it & just as Jalen says the media put words in his mouth they probably added a spin to his parents words
Again, that's even IF they said these alleged statements, & in full without editing etc
I disagree Jeremy although I appreciate you not attacking me and instead providing your view and a reasonable dialogue. Jalen's dad did cause a problem because Saban was believing Jalen would stay until his dad said he might not stay. What is Saban supposed to do about that? How many times have players just picked up and left the program? Think back to other players who have left and the rules that have changed surrounding players leaving. Saban wants to believe Jalen will stay but there is no reason he should based on how players keep leaving and based on the doubts that Jalen's father put out there. Saban told Jalen to do his talking on the field. There is no reason for any other discussions. Jalen is either going to show he wants to stay and show his committment and work hard to get the job and do his talking on the field or Jalen is going to leave like other players have left. Saban knows all of this. This isn't a nursery. The coaches don't need to ask Jalen about his feelings. Jalen is just feeling sorry for himself because he is losing confidence in his ability to do his talking on the field. Saban and the coaches do not need to babysit player's feelings.
Josh Rubin
The team & coaches responded to outside sources
If they needed not have to speak with Jalen
Then they needed not accepted any rumor
Case & point
By acting & reacting to rumor w/out consulting directly with the alleged source, they failed to control the hype
Jalen never intends to leave & will only hurt his stick if he does
But the coaching staff is responsible for acting on his father instead of his QB
You can't accept one act without the other
That's saying coaches can respond to rumor & not be concerned with truth or confirmation?
It isn't a rumor. His dad said it to the media for all to hear. Saban and the coaches did not react to it. They understand he could leave or stay. That's not a reaction. That's not a response. They told Jalen already to do his talking on the field. That is their process all along and it didn't result from any of the public chatter. You seem to expect me to believe that Jalen's dad talking to the media is meaningless. You seem to want me to believe that the team didn't hear what his dad said. That it didn't create more chatter about this. That is just false. His dad speaking to the media is heard by all and it means quite a lot what his parents are saying. Jalen can't ignore it and you can't ignore it either and pass it off as a rumor. BS. We all heard what he said. The coaches are right and Jalen is a good kid but he's coming off as whining about it. He had complete control over the situation. All Jalen had to do was silence his critics on the field. He couldn't do it. He isn't talented enough to do it. That's not the coaches' faults either. Cut the BS. Jalen needs to shut up about his feelings and silence his critics on the field or sit on the bench.
It's different to go in and win one game. Yes it was the biggest game. But one big game is different from a whole season with opponents having game film of you. I bet even Tua has a bad game they'll be calling for hurts to get in. They love you till you lose than they'll be calling for your head.
Nope. Tua all day
You can see the stress and disappointment on him
It’s sick mannnn, I pray he succeeds
He hurt
I tell these young guys, these white universities doesn’t care anything about you.. you’re a slave to help them make money. UA make millions on millions on these young guys, and as soon as they see another guy who they think can do better for them, you’re just a throw away.
BIG E so true
@@bige9295
So when Coach Saban put Jalen in after Blake Barnett started in 2016 USC game, was that bc "these white universities" wanted to 'throw away" this young white guy? Or was Jalen the better QB at that time?
College Athletic Scholarships are awarded to the best athletes, then each athlete competes for positions/playing time...it is about competition, not the color of anyone's skin. I am a huge Jalen Hurts fan and I do hate how things have turned out for him, but Tua is the better QB at this time, that cannot be denied. Are you even watching the games or just hung up on the "these guys" color of skin and "these white universities"??
"These white universities" provide players the best chance they have to be millionaires by their early 20's by playing in The NFL!
And, "these white universities" pay for their education, room and board while they are in school. Additionally, "these white universities" provide an entire staff of people - from tutors and trainers to nutrionists and strength coaches - whose sole job is to develop these young men both on and off the field.
I wish I'd been one of those guys at "these white universities" so I wouldn't still be in debt from student loans and other cost from attending college.
Btw, Tua is Samoan at one of "these white universities"
Hurts a real class act and this is coming from an lsu fan
This kid is 28 and 2 right ??? With 3 national championship appearances and 2 wins how are they talking like he is a piria
Not a Bama Fan but this young man is Great
dantemike1 He maybe I'm not a Bama Fan I'm just giving him his Credit
As a Georgia graduate Jalen is 26-2 he's a class act this young man played not a good half of football against my dawgs you would have never gotten to the championship game without him it's a shame that there is NO LOYALTY toward a stand up guy I haven't heard one negative word come out of his mouth how soon people forget how good he really is I think he should be given a chance to out right loose his job the season opener is around the corner and I think that Alabama should have Jalen as their quarterback until things play a much worse half than in the championship game keep your head up and compete for job
Stop it..if roles were reversed where tua was the original starter playing like jalen and jalen was the incoming freshmen playing like tua you would be saying jalen should be the damn starter
Emarlos Leroy lay off the crack, Tua has always been the better QB.
Now they both starting QBs for their teams. I have to say Jalen has looked impressive, so had Tua.
Jalen Hurts led bama to 2 CFP national championship games and now he’s on mop up duty. At one time his draft status was pretty high. How much has his draft status declined since he’s going to more than likely be 2nd string until he graduates, or will he even be drafted? And do you think it would have helped his future going to the NFL if he would have transferred out of AL and went somewhere else? Just curious on anyone else’s opinion on this.
No matter what happens jalen is a great sportsman and human being definitely the most humble of teammates and he is a great player as is tua its gonna be a great season
Feel bad for Hurts. He literally underperformed in one game. Yes, it's the biggest game but if we really look back on it, that's what it was. He performed pretty well last season. In the semifinal he played really well. The season before that they went undefeated and went to the natty where he went off even though they lost. I realize Tua is great, but I think Hurts deserves more respect than he's getting.
X ACE X The defense went undefeated
X ACE X it wasn't just one game though lol dude nobody gets benched for 1 game
Do u not remember the iron bowl
Hurts is the sole reason Alabama lost to Clemson, Auburn and would have lost to Georgia. Anytime he plays against a formidable defense he and the offense struggle because he is not a passing threat.
X ACE X he didn’t go off in the title game against Clemson. Dude was 13 for 31 that’s not going off
Tua looks and sounds like Russell Wilson😂
This is not a compliment.
Angel Wood
SB winner and top 10 qb Russell Wilson is not a compliment?
No matter who’s the qb they’ll be in the cfp
KlayVon Boumjie Boumjie it matters if they wanna win it all or just be there
Party Animal didn’t hurt them last year
True
KlayVon Boumjie Boumjie you want bama just to make it to the cfp or win the whole thing? Cause if Hurt is the qb, they won’t win the championship this year! Just like last year if Tua didn’t go in
KlayVon Boumjie Boumjie WOW your pretty smart! 🙄🙄
J Hurts kind of looks like Evander Real Deal Holyfield.
Tua played 30 minutes. Everyone needs to chill because the moment he crack, most of u guys will be talking about him. Its a long season & he still have to prove himself...
AMEN!!!!
EXACTLY!
@Ken Kaneki I understand all that but I really dont care about what someone did in the past. Because we all have seen great players in high school be ass at the next level. We all have seen great college players become trash in the NFL. So yes, Tua had a moment. 30 minutes to show that he can do the job. Im not arguing with u about that. Im a Tide fan. Been for many years. But 30 minutes is not enough time for me to be jumping out my seat for. He still need to show us if he's the truth or a bust. Jalen dont have to prove himself. I said Jalen was a trash QB back when he first got the job. The reason why he never lost it was because he only had like 2 loses since he been there. He get the job done with his feet. The Championship was just to wake everyone else up. But me & many others always knew Jalen was trash...
@Ken Kaneki Alabama won a National Championship.
But then if u look at it if jalen would've stayed in would've been a win situation also
Alabama will not make it without Jalen period don’t forget Tua made some mistakes
I bet you feel silly now
Jalen is better than Tua
The media creates their own storyline, takes the truth out of context to fit it, and tells the story the way they want it heard. These two guys genuinely support each other and are stand up guys. The positive is that, as Tua said, they have a position coach to hone in on what each lacks. Looking forward to another great season! Roll Tide!
Eugene Jacobs yea just look at how they made the thumbnail. The way they made tua look at jalen, always trying to sell a story
@@555Cjv Exactly!!!
Jalen should Red Shirt, graduate and transfer. He would have 2 years of eligibility left doing it this way.
Kadeem A Thomas true but no one wants to redshirt
Smart
I read that he doesn’t need to he has the credits that he can leave and still play this season
Kadeem A Thomas would be a smart move for him.
Thetruth99 Millions? He would be lucky to be drafted in the late rounds of the draft. Kid doesnt throw the ball well enough to play qb in the nfl.
Tua is the better QB .
Bryan Seay I believe so too
Pullin for Jalen. Best of luck to him. Go Vols
I think Jalen and Tua are outstanding talents. I'm like coach Saban... why can't we play both of them? they both bring something different to the field.
unapologeticwhiteman Winner Texas A&M had 2 five Star qbs that they tried to let play even amounts of time, and they both ended up transferring. It doesn’t benefit anyone to share playing time like that
unapologeticwhiteman Winner have you ever watched a game of football? Two quarterbacks can’t play equally, one will always play behind the other.
n g well no shot moron. but you can play a two QB system. it has been done before. though, I don't believe it will happen. sadly one will transfer.
unapologeticwhiteman Winner Im sorry but I don’t see all this “Talent” in Jalen every since he went to Alabama he’s been overhyped to me. Maybe he had some potential but not so much talent right now.
@@trevor3928 number 1 seed
Whipping the giants rn
The media needs to shut up and leave this guy alone.
Jalen hurts is a great guy
Tua tagovailoa is too
Jalen and Tua are both great quarterbacks, and both are classy guys.
Anyone else notice what ESPN did with the thumbnail..? They're trying to make this into even more drama than its already become within the Alabama fan base..
He has great character and such a role model for what young men should be and should strive to be.
Im rooting for him. I think Bama should use both QBs but the most important thing for him is to graduate and we will see about the draft.
Tua reminds me of Russell Wilson in all aspects
Steven Johnson A You love Russell Wilson don't you lol...go get him to play qb for mighty Alabama then you dumb fuuuccck...
Ronnie Copeland that was uncalled for
Steven Johnson i said the same
Steven Johnson 🤷🏽♀️ and
Yes sir...
Its crazy how some of you bama fans turn on your own players 😂 all of a sudden jalen is trash , after seeing tua play 2 mins and literally making one big play 🤦🏾♀️ jalen got bama there not to mention two years in a row , and im no bama fan by all means WAR EAGLE but damn he did his thing . And now all of sudden ppl wanna turn on him and not give him the credit he deserves . I feel like the qb’s should be rotated evenly . One plays the 1st half and the other plays the 2nd half .
Everyone knew Tua been better all season but saban was loyal to jalen and rode witg him...jalen messed up on the big stage he did it to himself
they all turned again lol.
He is a rare diamond. but soon many more will rise. The Creators Plan
Can you just imagine the national championship night for that guy. You go in UA best player, the face of the University to getting on the plane looking at your transfer headlines. Talk about a worldspin
B Styless That's not the way that worked at all.....Everyone knew all year Tua was better but Saban was loyal till the Auburn game when Jalen couldn't throw it down field
He was never the best player on Alabama
jaquan541 Ever. Dude mustve forgot Hurts came in during the Jon Allen, Reuben Foster, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Ardarious Stewart, and Calvin Ridley squad. I can go on and on but there is no need.
Bre'Shaun Myleek Yeah this dude is on drugs
B Styless in what world is Jalen Bamas best player?
God bless these young men praying always focused on what’s important , soon graduating Jalen both of you good examples. Roll Tide Roll.
How about being the best team mate. Me me me
This man has character, poise and gave an awesome interview. Rumors hurt people and he addressed everything appropriately. I wish him the best!
Jalen Hurts good job man take that fake news
Should have transferred dude. Screw Alabama you trying to get to the league.
manansis86 WAAAAAAHHHH
He should transfer if he wants to play. Tua is the better QB for Bama.
They are both great quarterbacks, that’s why both of them are playing.
Jalen keeps the focus on him and how he feels about this&that. Tua keeps the focus about the team as a whole. Tua for the top spot
No disrespect to either of the qbs. But Jalen has taken Alabama to back to back champions. Regardless of Alabama having a stout defense for consecutive years, he has lead the team. He had one bad game and now he’s not good? Come on now. Tua is a great quarterback and hopefully this attention doesn’t get to his head but this is Jalens team.
Jalen is hurt by this...
He's a great young man...
I wish him the best...
Love you J,Hurts you good I'm hoping you get starting position just get better I'm ride with you roll tide
Huge respect for jalen. True class act.
I'm really proud of Jalen hurts... very good transparency...cant wait to see you play...and u will play!!!!
I dont understand the problem. You were a starter, you were playing horrible, got replaced by a better performer. This happens everyday in different occupancies and roles.
Mike Saldivar how is that applicable to this interview?
The Broncos replaced manning but he came back.
Brian Glaze it applies by a very easy concept to grasp. Nobody cares about excuses, feelings, and who said what, you were told to not being attention to yourself.. And he does this interview... Any other questions?
Mike Saldivar he underperformed one game ?
Justin Aguilar Don't comment if you don't know what you're talking about he was terrible against Auburn, and last season vs clemson and vs Washington. He's the reason Alabama isn't a 3 time defending champion right now.
In my opinion Georgia knew how to stop Jalen because of all the film they have on him in regards of Tua Georgia knew nothing about his game... moral of the story Saban can use both of them
I agree Maya....plus people forget that Jalen not only played against Georgia, but he played against Kirby Smart!...Who is an amazing coach in his own right.
This is my favorite "In Your Feelings" Challenge lol
ESPN editing it to look like they mad at each other in the thumbnail. Y'all slaw for that. XD that's why y'allr rat poison
I like the way he conducted this interview calmly and respectfully !! Hopefully he gets some decent playing time this year !
Jalen we love you ROLL TIDE GUYS keep doin what your doin -- the GRIND never stops
Glad he thinking about his education. Hope he gets the start!!!
Nick Saban is a clown for the way he treated Jalen Hurts and the way he handled his self during this situation and the situation at hand.
99 hopping in the back LOL
Westly Park I was wondering if anyone saw him 😂
It's funny how hurts has 1 bad game and everyone thinks he's transfering
Tua’s kind of reminds me of russel Wilson when he scrambles but he has far more potential we only seen him for 2 quarters imagine a season!!! 🔥
blizzy dude i see it
Mr. Mister I thought I was the only one who sees it.
I honestly believe Jalen can actually throw. Its all about schemes and reality. What he encountered from defensive fronts his running was applicable. They were winning so if it ain't broke don't fix it. I'm all for a two QB system or let Tua use a redshirt so he can have a two whole years to his self. Jalen graduates right after the season. NCAA pay the players!!!!!
Two highly intelligent young men!!!
Hurts and Tagovailoa are simply awesome and I pray Alabama will treat them well. These are impressionable young men, both very intelligent and just all around good souls. Roll Tide!🐘🐘
JH: it's all about ME
TT: it's all about the TEAM
Bama fans: two way split.....
Saban: what's best for the TEAM.
It wasn't too long ago that Tua commented that he would have left Bama if he didn't play in the championship...so I guess Tua is "me, me, me" too? Jalen is simply setting the record straight. Period.
Jacqueline Holder, you got proof? if not, stop spreading rumors. Between JH and TT interviews..... JH, "im focus on me, me, me. no one has asked how my feelings are." TT, "im focused on bettering my relationship with the team."
Don't get your feelings "HURT"
Jacqueline Holder Tua never said that people were speculating look it up
Buc Wild bruh Ik your ass didn't just spell "belittling" as "be-little-ing"
Stephan Lazzier, awh shitz... vocabulary 👮 alert. Here's your reward little 😺. Enjoy your 🍼. 👍😆 GO BAMA!
As much as I hate vans, I’m rooting for Jalen
Love Jalen, but to be fair his dad said some things too. I love the way he’s standing up for himself. Saban ultimately will make the decision and he said “don’t do anything to draw attention to yourself or teammates”. That’s exactly what Jalen just did.
Jeremy his dad speaks for his dad. His dad doesn’t apparently speak for Jalen.
Jeremy dad want him out if he's not starting this year let's see in a few weeks how that will fold very interesting situation and good luck sitting the legendary Tua Tagovailoa if hes not starting this fan base will go nuts and Saban is very aware of that can't wait for the season to start
Jalen needs to start. He brought us to the national champ game two years in a row. If defense could have stopped Clemson two years ago and if Papa could have made that field goal last year then we wouldnt be having this discussion. Tua missed spring too. Jalen has earned this. Biggest loss-our punter.
Tua needs a new barber !!
He’s Samoan. If anyone said that about Jalen last year, he would have been accused of being a racist. If that’s true about Jalen, then it’s also racist to make a comment about this Samoan’s hair. Jalen is just crying because he can see the writing on the wall after the summer practices.
DRC 53 I’m sorry but I never said anything about race man ..... jalens old hair with the locs was clean , actually had a good edge up but now jalen needs a new barber too. I’m just saying most good players got clean fades . Both these dudes need a new good barber lol all I’m saying man ....
Icce 19 Look Jalen Hurts has only two losses in his career...tua has come in and mopped up yes...But put him on the field full time and let his body of work speak for its self? Jalen Hurts could start any other place in the country...Sabin has both qb's it's not like he's loosing shit now is he? Keep your head up Jalen lol consider going to Arkansas? We wished best wishes son...
Ronnie Copeland "clean up duty" Imao. He literally won us the natty bro. His body of work is already better than 75% of the players rn and he hasn't even played a full game, and that's impressive.
Icce 19 lol i guess it's a Hawaiian thing.
How does this kid graduate in 5 semesters?
He's real smart. A 4 year degree in 3 years. Jalen was 17 when he enrolled on Jan 2, 2016. He's 19.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that I’m the goat
LeBron James your not
Lebron fans are so obsessed...😂 vids can’t be about him everyday
You’re not the GOAT
SKINS TRIBE hey guess what, that isn't actually Lebron James
LeBron James oh yeah come hold these nuts up your chin lmao
Best of luck to the both of them. Hope they can find away to give both equal play time and better each other as a double threat.
Jalen you had your chance to transfer, that's what Saban wanted you to do he didn't won't to make that decision to bench you for Tua.Tua won him a championship in two quarters and you haven't won him one in two years.Saban is about to show you a life lesson about loyalty there is none.
Jalen is his own person and is nobody's coward. Saban is a hypocrite and coward...his throne is gone as we will soon see. Karma!
He have won a championship he led them to a championship
Angelwood s a b a n s Throne is safe until someone wins 8 national championships LOL
These two men are gonna tear up the SEC and win the SEC and the National Title.Nobody will come close except maybe Auburn and maybe Whoever the play in the National Title.Roll Damn Tide!
Alamaba fans, take note of Jalen's words and how he's been treated by the fan base and coaches. This will be veiwed by future recruits as a DEAL BREAKER. Georgia already beat you with this recruiting class and there will be more to come.
Mr. Gyabaah facts
Hasn't Eason been treated the same way by Georgia fans though?
Georgia...ego of Alabama with the tradition of BYU....BTW 2nd and 26...wear it..
💯💯💯💯
Jalen has not been mistreated! He lost the job on his own terms. Even after losing his job, Saban has given Hurts every opportunity to win the job back! Recruits will be excited to know that Saban will play the best no matter how long you’ve been in the system. And, Bama will win the recruiting battle this year!
I think both of these guys are class acts and great QBs. I think when Hurts and Tagovailoa both talked about "TEAM" effort best states what is most important and what will make both of these guys the best future NFL prospects.
Tu’a got hurt before spring game, perfect opportunity for Jalen to cut the noise, and what happen??? He played like trash
Emerson B the receivers and the line played like shit to
Winfred Abrams the game was televised on ESPN. I’ve watched it and saw Jalen struggle a bit.
Derrick martin No Alabama's defense is just good
Great point my dude.He really stunk that shit up.
Winfred Abrams ummm, it was on TV bro
It's over Hurd at Bama. But this kid is beyond his years. Incredibly poised and classy.
Jalen, re-grow your dreads. Have a great Bama season--you too, Tua. Jalen, you are YOU and that is wonderful.
I respect this kid for the way he has handled the situation since the championship game. All he needs to do...... IS DONT FEED THE MEDIA AND JUST LEARN HOW TO BEAT DEFENSES WITH HIS ARM!
Hurts could transfer to South Florida and take the starting job away from Blake Barnett.
This comment is underrated xD
ImaybetotallywrongbutI'ma...dancin' fool ,..........of course! It's South Florida!
Take your Talent to Auburn
Ruben Webster that would be the biggest reveng ever lol
ImaybetotallywrongbutI'ma...dancin' fool 😂😂😂😂😂
Let's go team ROLL TIDE ✌️😎
Send him over here to the Tennessee Volunteers we'll get him a starter position quick and will appreciate him. You can't graduate as a backup really this is the time Nfl is looking for senior prospects
Jalen should just transfer to Alcorn State...
Jaylen deserves the spot he took them to she ship back to back 💯 let’s go jaylen 🙏🏽
Tua needs to start, the way he come of the bench in that championship throwing bombs and his football IQ man I think he better then jalen all around , but they bring different things to the table
Jairon Thomas Jalen want to be a backup cause he's focus on graduation this year..which is good no way he's sitting Tua this year
Careful
There are 1hit wonders & even if he's legit, the books still out on him
Although it was the National Championship it very well could've been they hadn't game planned for him
You know the element of surprise technique?!
Who wants to settle for less when you don't have to?
Jalen wants to start as badly as all other players
He's simply showing class & reserve
True champion caliber athlete who controls only what's within his realm
As long as Jalen & Tua both keep this all in perspective, they will benefit the team
If Tua does win the starter role, but begins to struggle marginally, we all know what Nick Saban's gonna do
The National Championship it now the strongest indicator
Tua won't be exempt either
PLUS
I feel it was more of Saban's gut telling him "Georgia's not prepared for Tua", moreso than Jalen less-thwn play
How many times have Jalen struggled the first half in the biggest games only to rebound fantastically & prevail?
Jairon Thomas they gonna game plan around him !!
Football???? tua has an arm but idiot Jalen has the better iq dumb ass...jalen has the fewest turnovers than any other qb in only two years....he is just entering his third year and male groupies like you want tua wood in your mouth so bad that you have to down play the good jalen does???? sad take your fake football fan azz back to Tennis asap and leave the football talk to real fans.
Hurts do not have to be an Nfl QB but a great college qb who is 25-2.
None of the former QBs were nfl ready, so stop this charade.
this guy is too selfish and only looks out for himself whereas Tua looks out for the best interest of the team
Two great guys, proud of both of them
Not many people know how difficult it is to do what Tua has done, To come out of Hawai'i, a place so far from exposure and isolated from the big lights and competition. You talk about an Underdog, thats Tua. His work ethic and hard work shows, give him a chance to shine, if it doesn't work then you'll always have Jalen right there. But its truly special to see what Tua brings, especially because a lot of people count out players from Hawai'i.
Amen, brotha!
Jalen is humble
Jalen is a good QB, not great, better at running than throwing.. so put his ass at RB bc Tua can throw the ball
Skylar Prescott and add in a few HB pass plays
Y’all niggas fucking stupid
Y’all keep saying play RB, like he ain’t been playing QB all his life, like it’s just that easy to make that transition 🤦🏾♂️
Okezie Adim-Madumere he's a strong runner and I think he could transition into a solid rb
So should your cousin Dak lol
Coming from Alabama an a die hard fine I truly thank you for your hard work jalen
Tua beat Georgia, big deal!!! Georgia would have beaten themselves anyway, they always do. Better put Jalen on the field b/c he’s been tested, and he’s an awesome athlete that can get the ball in the end zone.
it is a big deal dick, its the national championship an it made nick sabban the greatest coach in ncaa football history
Yeah but what about the other 13 games, could Tua have delivered with consistency during the regular season...no one knows. Tua comes out and play for one half now you’re going to throw away Hurts, the guy who got you there? It’s a valid question.
bigdap100 Tua had two extremely lucky plays. He may be a more talented QB. But potential and actually having a great game are two different things. Hurts is a class act. The entire team was underperforming in the first half and they tried to put that entirely on his back. Saban is a sociopath.
4DhumanInstrumentality thank you.
Tua is wayy better not even close..tua is one of the best qbs ive ever seen in college
So articulate and classy.
