| FTBL Top Eights Bama QB Passing yards. When will Tua go up the ranking?

[rick4bama]

MOST PASS YARDS:
1 A.J. McCarron 9,019 = 4838
2 John Parker Wilson 7,924 = 2986
3 Brodie Croyle 6,382 = 1444
4 Andrew Zow 5,983 = 1045
5 Greg McElroy 5,691 = 753
6 Jay Barker 5,689 =751
7 Jalen Hurts 5,626 = 688
8 Tua Tagovailoa 4,938 This is what he has including the first game of 2019.
How many will Tua pass going up? If my math is right and I check it twice. This is what he needs to tie each Bama QB.

He may get to JPW, but I don't see him getting to AJ unless he stays his senior year.

 

[jdpas29]

agreed

If he stays healthy, I think he certainly passes everyone except AJ - and he has a decent shot at AJ. My calculation shows him 4,081 yards shy of AJ, not 4,838 (9,019 minus 4,938).

Possible scenarios from worst to best:

1. If we miss on both SECC game AND aren't bowl eligible - yes, the board will have long since melted down - but he'd need to average 371 passing yards a game.
2. If we miss on the SECC and playoffs, but go to a bowl (or miss on SECCG and lose in playoffs first round), that's 12 remaining games - Tua would need to average 340 a game.
3. If we play 14 games (13 remaining) by playing SECCG and a bowl/playoff, that would mean 314 a game.
4. Finally, we play 15 games (SECCG and two playoff games), Tua would need to average 292 to break the record.

Other than injury, the biggest impediment to him breaking the record is Saban's distaste for running up the score, and the imperative to develop the backups. As the old saying goes, the only person to hold Michael Jordan below 20 points was Dean Smith.

Well.....tua may well have some 400 yard days....could balance it some....but vs lsu...uga...2 tough playoff games....he could play 4 quarters...
If tua is to win Heisman....with the nations love for Hurts....he better really have some unbelievable days..ON NATIONAL TV.

IMO, to win the Heisman he will have to jump Jalen and Fields, you know the media luvs them some bucknutz.

Fields won't be in contender come December. OSU has some games they may drop.
I think in the end, we will se Tua and Jalen Sitting in NYC finding out who gets the hardware.

Don't forget that Clemson kid.... The media loves them some Lawrence too.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

For the record, in 2018 Tua averaged 264 yards a game over 15 games, passing for over 300 yards in six games.

Don't see him going higher than # 2 unless he stays for his senior year.

And I wonder which will be the deciding factor: The weariness of seeing another OU QB winning it...or the weariness of anything Alabama does to win it. Of course, both have to earn the invite to be there. And even then, neither of them may be worthy depending on what the other quality QB's produce this season. All I will say is; GO TUA AND ROLL TIDE!

Folks Jalen and the young stalwart Lincoln Riley are the media darlings. You will be ready to puke by November whether you are a Jalen fan or not.

Built by Bama but used by OU will be the slogan after the Heisman presentation

I'll simply watch what I normally watch, which is very, very little "sports talk" programming, and let them fawn in my absence.

Yeah, afraid you're right. In fact, I'm a Jalen fan and already getting tired of it.

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

@Bamabww Love and appreciate what he did for UA. 0 issues with his transfer or destination but it is going to get ignorant

 

[bamaledge]

He chose to leave Alabama, Therefore, I’m no longer a fan of Jalen.
That being said, wish him all the luck I can and hope we meet ok in the playoffs or the NCG.
