🏈 Jalen appreciation thread

[PhillyGirl]

His role cannot be overstated here. He led us here.

His support for Tua, talking to him on the sideline, was awesome. A lot of guys would've thrown a hissy fit and sat on the bench. Jalen stood by his man.

He stayed positive and motivated Tua after the INT.

He may not have played well tonight but he proved that he was an incredible teammate and leader. His post game interview was incredible. Nothing but class.

Jalen is 100% truly for what's best for this team.

Whether he decides to stay with us or move on, I hope he knows how grateful folks are for his influence.

BUSH LEAGUE for ESPN to interview him right after Tua. Fucking hate TMZSPN. Good thing he's such a great kid...

 

[RollllTide!]

He simply could have turned down the interview.

Marty needs to stick with NASCAR.

Love the kid. It would probably benefit him to move to TE/slot,which is where he best fits for the next level. Occasionally put him in the wildcat or occasionally throw it out to him backwards for a trick play.

 

[ElephantStomp]

Great kid!!

I don’t believe he’ll transfer. There’s no guarantee Tua is the starter next year

 

[Tidestalker]

He simply could have turned down the interview.

Yeah that would end great - "We tried to speak with Jalen Hurts who declined the interview..."

MSESPN is the worst

 

[UAgrad93]

Jalen is a class act! He didn't pout, stood right by Daboll the entire time and was there encouraging Tua every series. LEADER!!

There’s no guarantee Tua is the starter next year

 

[jdpas29]

I love Jalen. Hat a classy dude and great player. I hope he stays and plays. Rtr

 

[UAgrad93]

True! There are no guarantees BUT, Tua's performance definitely will put some thoughts in Saban and Co.'s mind. Going to make this Spring very interesting to watch.

Great kid!!

if I recall correctly, when we recruited him we promised to help him grow as a passer. Remember he is still growing...

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

JMO but anybody that watched the Bama A-Day game understood Tua is a special talent. He has football savvy. The game just comes easier to him than most.

[alabama mike]

The young man showed grace, humility and class the entire time. Well done young man!

 

[50+yeartidefan]

He is everything you all said...always have been a big supporter....and will be...
I dont know if it Duball or what.....JH just will not turn loose of the ball...
Seems worse n worse all the time...and the play calling....unbelievable...
.....I expect himto maintainhis role as starter....and improve as a passer....

I love Jalen and wish him nothing but the best. But, I have to wonder why Tua was not put in against auburn. After last night, there is NO doubt in my mind that we would have come back and beaten auburn had that change been made.
