Herbie has always been a fair assessor in my opinion. While the debate rages on, for me, what I like most about Tua outside of the obvious talent and field vision, is his pace, his tempo, his rhythm. Even just getting into the huddle and getting out of the huddle but especially at the line and then even moreso during any given play. He is just very quick witted and a very quick processor whereas as Jalen is much more slow (and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, I'm not saying Jalen is not intelligent, just a slower processor). Because Tua has pace, the whole team has pace and we play aggressively and proactively - we take the action to the other team - as opposed to Jalen being more slow paced and methodical and the team playing more carefully and reactively (yes, I just made up a word).

Either way, it would appear that they will both be playing quite a bit. I can't say that I love that idea, but Mr. Saban, of course, deserves the benefit of the doubt.

@JoseyWalesTheOutlaw and I discussed this very subject a few times last season. It's speculated that the "stoic expression" lauded so much with Jalen may not all be from "a calm demeanor."

I could sense some "confusion" look in with that stoic expression. I think it may be an "in the head", trying to pre determine what he sees and where he is supposed to go with the ball. If they disguise it well, he panics or bails when he doesn't get what he thought he was seeing.
 
Thought it was interesting that coach Saban told Dan Patrick this morning that he would tell the team who the starting QB would be today. I wonder how many Bama "insiders" will claim to know the answer?

Im shocked Boz hasn't already claimed to know.

I know, actually.
SPILL!!! :)

Okay... I'm gonna let it go... super secret undercover anonymous source here (spoiler alert: he's the guy that washes the jock strap for the fourth team offense)...

Neither will start... at QB... Alabama is going to come out in the Triple Option with Jaylen Waddle at QB, Jalen Hurts at one halfback and Tua at the other. I know the first play too... play action option pass from Waddle to fullback (Irv Smith Jr.) for 80 yards.

Coach informed the team, it’s Tua.
