That first vid of Tua throwing is impressive.

A tight, accurate, ~20 yd pass on a rope with him using little more than a half step forward with his lead foot.

Comparatively, Jalens highlight is a 10 yd out that was a bit behind and dropped. I feel like the reporter probably could have found a better vid to include.

Did either of our guys make the cut to the Final round selection?

These are the finals, are they not?

They are, but I think they whiddle down the field throughout the weekend if I'm not mistaken.

Just hope Saban can keep it together! But if anyone can! Coach can!

It means exactly what I said in the Matich thread...

I'm not sold on Trevor Matich as an ESPN analyst.

The open mic during A Day was nothing...

He was caught with a hot mic a few times over the years. Even with AJ.

If anything, the halftime yank in the NCG could've just been the fire under Jalen's ass that he needed. I firmly believe Jalen may end up holding the starting Job.

Tua IS talented though. And a 2 QB system IS possible. Spurrier did it in the 90s. And Wisconsin has done it recently. 2 QBs talented enough to start? Why NOT use them both?



And, 2 QBs on the field at the same time is always a possibility as a wrinkle. ULM is a college team that did it a couple years back.

And then there's this:

Media is milking the QB battle as fast they possibly can. Don't get caught up in the rhetoric.

@planomateo,

Fans: "Based on A-day performance..."
Media: "Based on Saban's reactions during the A-day game..."

HIstory: "I've never given you much of any indication, of anything, on A-day--especially with a quarterback."

And as I stated earlier, A-day hot mic moments mean precisely... Dick.

This is evidenced by quite a few ass-chewing of even AJ McCarron on A-day before.

Routes on air!! Whoopty damn doo!! I could have gone out there at 47 and made near as many of throws that both Jalen and Tua made. Where the cream rises to the top is in reading a defense and following the progressions.
Seriously, Coach Stallings saw me throwing “pat n go’s” before his first Spring game. He told me that I threw “one helluva nice ball” and asked “where in the Hell have you been all Spring?” I told him that I had been with different position coaches helping them get better and I thanked him for the compliment. I told him my biggest problem would be that “I didn’t know a single damn play in the playbook because of my being shuffled to the different groups!” I was dead serious too!!
