Tua's accuracy can not be denied. I visited a few practices and saw him do things that I have never seen before in terms of throwing the football with pin point consistency. His only issue was he sometimes held on to the ball too long waiting for someone to break open and it cost him. He is doing the same thing in the NFL and it has almost cost him his career. Hopefully he fixes it before it is too late.
Ultimately cost him his final year at Bama and a title in 2019. Both times he got hurt that season were totally unnecessary and self inflicted.

Every one acts like we didn't have a great team last year with 2 lockdown corners. 1 taken in first other high second. 1 st round d-end the other high second round. A first round offensive tackle. We won last year despite milroe not because of him. When you have 2 great corners it limits everything add a pass rush and your dominate on defense. Not 2010 dominate but for today's game your start way ahead with those guys on defense.

No one brings it up but not sure if Seth has had a bad snap all year. He went to the one school that is literally buying a team to win this year all in and they wanted him. They must have known something wasnt right. Not the rose bowl but after a game last year I heard Milroe say the bad snaps were on him at the time I thought good teammate taking up for your center but the more I see the more I wonder.

Run game we have Booker Proctor and brailsford if we go left you think with 3 that will be all Americans eventually that we can pick up 4 yards when we need them but we can't. Jam and justice not good backs? I think it's so things going on offensively that we can't get that. Educated guess it's something with milroe tendency and keys giving certain things away to the opposing defense. The naked eye can see he can't run a option he just guesses. He stares down wr most of the time. I'm sure a defensive coordinator and a team of analysts our all over what we are doing on offense every week.

Anyone watch Lagway a true freshman run the option yesterday? Anyone wonder how he can make better reads when to keep and give vs our junior multi year starter?

So much smoke but never a fire I guess.
Since you brought up Lagway.

It is painful to watch him as a true freshman work the pocket like 5th year senior when JM looks like he's still in HS, literally.

I'm not even talking about his arm, which Lagway is far advanced, but I'm JUST talking footwork.

It's been pointed out that much of JM accuracy issues goes back to footwork. So, yeah, it's really frustrating.

Mac's offense was almost a mirror image of LSU's offense when Burrow was at the helm. Both teams were almost unstoppable. It really was a sight to see...
But would we even be using that LSU offense as a landmark if Tua stays healthy that year? That Bama team was just as loaded as LSU was, if we win that LSU game and go on to win the title, a lot of the times people compare to 2019 LSU, they'd be comparing to 2019 Bama instead. I've said it many times on this board that if Tua is 100% healthy that day against LSU (completed 50% of his passes instead of his normal 71.4%), we more than likely win that game. Or even if he had sat out against State, we'd likely have gotten a rematch. Anyways, my point is that Alabama offense (when Tua was healthy) was every bit as good as both of those offenses, but nobody remembers a 10-2 team

Tua is the most accurate college QB that i have ever seen. Mac had the advantage of playing in the best offense ever at Alabama. But, injuries aside, I would take Tua over any other college QB - ever.
It’s a tough call for me.

I feel like Mac is a lot better than we remember because of his NFL struggles.

But he may be the best Overall and Complete QB that Alabama has ever had.

I want to say he was a bit better than Tua post snap wrt to reading coverages and he was better manipulating the pocket to extend time and also not get hurt.

He threw some absolute lasers down field too. Mac was VERY accurate at all levels of the field.

Tua was a Master at throwing guys open and to your point he could thread a needle that’s for sure.

Both also had excellent Deep Ball accuracy.

It’s just such a close comparison.

They are hands down the 2 Best I’ve seen wearing crimson.

Outside of Bama Joe Burrow was incredible.

It seems to me that collectively remembering Bryce was much more accurate than JM. Go back and look. Bryce was guilty of over throwing many wide open receivers. It was Mac who was the most accurate in the game dropping dimes.
Love Bryce but he had a terrible Deep Ball in relation to the rest of his skills.

Mac and Tua were both Outstanding Deep Throwers.

17 minutes of Mac Jones TDs.

Perfect. Product. Placement.
