🏈 '10 things I'm absolutely overreacting to after 2017 SEC bowl season'-SDS

[252BAMA]

"Let’s start with something I’m not overreacting to: Alabama’s quarterback situation.

Four days before the national title game — four days before Tua Tagovailoa threw the seed heard ’round the world — I was asked to offer a bold prediction for the 2018 season. I answered: “Jalen Hurts will not be Alabama’s starting quarterback in 2018.”

It’s Tagovailoa’s job, and now the time is right to do right by Hurts and find him a position that he can play at the next level.

Hurts isn’t the first QB and won’t nearly be the last to switch positions. Terrelle Pryor, Nick Marshall, Denard Robinson and Braxton Miller were hugely successful college QBs who drew or are drawing NFL paychecks at other positions. They did it without the benefit of playing those new positions in college.

Make the transition easier on Hurts. Whether it’s running back, slot receiver, returner or perhaps somewhere in the secondary, make the transition this spring so no more time is wasted. He might be an NFL player, but it’s doubtful he’ll be an NFL quarterback.

I’ll let you overreact to that while I continue on with 10 things I am absolutely overreacting to after watching the SEC’s very best dominate the bowl season."

I think everyone is overreacting too quickly. Both have skills. Both have strengths. Let's see what happens in Spring practice and let CNS and the new OC make a call.

Bold predictions....Hurts will be the starting QB for Bama next year...
Not that bold....

Its gonna be hard to keep Tua on the bench if Jalen struggles. Jalen might be the starter but, I bet its a short leash.

I don't see any way that Tua is not the starting QB going forward. It would be great is Jalen has a meaningful role during the games, and he may, but Tua is the worst nightmare the SEC could imagine about Alabama.

WAY Tua many weapons on offense to not have the QB that can see the entire field and push the ball down the field. No reason this offense should not be epic (that includes you Mr. New OC)

If Tua become the Bama QB next season, it because he beat out Hurts.

Still is NS running show...if JH struggles...yea...probably a change...if Bama falls behind bad...maybe..
But...NS loves that "game manager"....NS loves the way JH is team leader...stays composed...
Thats why he beat out Barnett, Cornwell, and the other guy....
But I agree....TUA will not be shelved... i dont look for "air-bama" to be the new offense going forward...( like Stallings....NS is locked into his ways...and they work pretty good)
Mytake anyway
