Alabama QB competition article

Re: Alabama QB competition article (ALL QB posts here, please)

Here’s a crazy but probably known fact:

Jalen had 17 Passing TDs last year.

The back up Tua? 11 Passing TDs.

8 in garbage time, 3 in the Natty, imagine how many he would’ve had starting full time.

By extrapolating the numbers, if he had attempted as many passes as Hurts did, Tua would have thrown for about 36 touchdowns and near 7 interceptions.

Honestly if Hurts starts and/or they do that silly rotating possessions game, I’m not sure how much football I can watch this year. I am done watching the QB run to the right, go out of bounds or throw it away 9/10 passing attempts. It’s painful.

I expect Tua to break AJ's record of 30 TD's in a season. He might break a few more records before he's done.

He’s got a shot at breaking Blake’s single season passing yards record too (3,487 yards)

Last season we had:

Calvin Ridley
Cam Sims
Devonta Smith
Jerry Jeudy
Henry Ruggs III
Robert Foster

Should’ve been one of the most prolific passing attacks in Alabama history last year, the problem is that we had a running QB who sometimes passed the ball.

"Look at dat laser..BOW!!!....look at this laser....LOOK AT THAT LASER!!!!.... BOW!!!.... AIN'T NO WOUNDED DUCK!!!"

"This Boy ain't had no warm up time... just get dropped into the flame....just got dropped into this flame....of a National Football Championship Game"

"That's a Laser Ladies and Gentleman....Holla at Ya'll....everybody go home...we got parting gifts out back...'preciate ya comin out.... but this *stuff* is OVER with a Real QB."

"Yeah he gonna make mistakes... but it's high risk/high reward when you got a KILLER back there."

"PLAY TUA WITH A COVER 3 SINGLE SAFETY DEEP!!! Straight BURNED every play ....and he still smokin ya'll....when ya'll in straight prevention mode!!

"But you can't stop Lasers everytime....that was a Laser.....perfect D to stop it....but Perfect PRODUCT PLACEMENT!!!"

"Jalen threw 1 interception this year....I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF TUA THROW TEN!!! CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A HUNDRED TOUCHDOWNS BEHIND IT!!! ....AND THE GAMES AIN'T EVEN GONNA BE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR THE OTHER TEAM TO EVEN MAKE A DAMN PLAY ON US!!!"

"You got to be serious man???? It ain't no Quarterback competition!!!!?? What you just wanna see Jalen drop back.....wait 3 seconds and run??? That ain't football??!!

"Call your nearest cable freaking subscriber and order you some Rugby...you might as well be watching something!! This smashmouth football.....we got enough running backs!!! Gotta be able to throw that thing!!!

"We ain't selling tickets... WE WINNING 'SHIPS!!!"

"We got killers everywhere!!! You can't limit my team because all we can do is run the ball at QB!!!

"Take that running QB stuff to TCU, AU or any of them type programs... WE RUN PRO STYLE!!! GOT TO BE ABLE TO SLANG THAT THANG!!!!"

As an aside - and whatever your views on the QBs are - I found John Doe/Kenny Bell to be very entertaining. He would need to lose the occasional expletive, but I can listen to that accent and turn of phrase, and he understands football. I wonder if there is a job out there for him.

Had to dig around a bit, but here's what I found:

2016 :
JH: 191 rush attempts, 382 pass attempts - 573
Bama: 639 rush attempts, 417 pass attempts - 1,056
JH accounted for 54.6% of Bama's plays (483 plays without JH rushing or passing)

2017:
JH: 154 rush attempts, 254 pass attempts - 408
Bama: 612 rush attempts, 332 pass attempts - 944
JH accounted for 43.2% of Bama's plays (536 plays without JH rushing or passing)

Finally, remembered about CFB Film Room this morning. For those not familiar, their FAQ explains their method.

2016:

Jalen

426 dropbacks
354 attempts (83% of dropbacks)
29 throw aways (7% of dropbacks)
85 hurries (20% of dropbacks)
172 rush attempts

2017:

Jalen

318 dropbacks
250 attempts (79% of dropbacks)
15 throw aways (5% of dropbacks)
81 hurries (25% of dropbacks)
130 rush attempts

Tua

86 drobpacks
76 attempts (88% of dropbacks)
3 throwaways (3% of dropbacks)
15 hurries (17% of dropbacks)
23 rush attempts

They classify a hurry as "When the QB was forced from the pocket, or forced to rush/alter his throw by a defender."

Going off the numbers above, 72 of Jalen's 2016 rushes (42%) were scrambles while 68 of his 2017 rushes (52%) were. Ten of Tua's 23 rushes (43%) were scrambles.


2017 Jalen looks more like the freshman, not 2016 Jalen or 2017 Tua.
 
Re: Alabama QB competition article (ALL QB posts here, please)

I don't want this to sound as if I'm complaining about one of the best coaches ever, cause I'm beyond thrilled with his record. But, I am curious as to others' thoughts on why no change was made sooner.

Were those 2 videos really from Kenny Bell? If so, that seems like a really crappy thing to do.

It's just speculation that it could be him. Although if it is him I don't see why he wouldn't have a right to an opinion.
