QB Competition 2018

As long as you remove the RPO plays, you are golden. You can win #17 easily if you ditch those plays.

He's right.....and the missing context is.....WITH THE RUNNING BACKS!!!!

I 100% think we need to make Damien, Bo, and Josh the core of our Offensive gameplan.

If I have to pick something our OL is better at.... I would be pick Run blocking over Pass Blocking. RUN THE BALL with the RB's

BUT....we also HAVE to be able to pass to get teams to back off the LOS and respect both aspects. We gotta have Balance.

I love Jalen. I think Kiffin did a great job last year(minus the Semi) highlighting what he could do best as a TF and covering up what he couldn't.

THIS year Daboll has not done a good job of making things easier on Jalen. He's shown some improvement at times against lesser teams but shown almost no improvement if not regression against the better teams on our schedule.

We've been trying to shove a square peg in a round hole for 12 games and we don't have the time to fix it now.

I don't care about 2018 right now. We don't have a guaranteed shot at a NC in 2018.....We DO have s shot RIGHT NOW with a 'Round Peg' sitting right there on our bench.

I'll will be extremely dissapointed if we don't give Tua a shot. If we fail we fail but at least we TRIED something different.

If we keep doing what we've done all year and especially the last month we WILL lose to Clemson.

Jmho but 'Tua Time' is RIGHT NOW.

I usually never give my opinions on qb issues but if we are to have a chance in this game we’ve got to reverse our course with the offense to win this.

Clemson has an insanely good DL, without a doubt, it is the best one we’ve faced all year. I really like Jalen as our qb and I’m very thankful for all he’s been able to do as our qb but as has been discussed adnauseum in this thread, Jalens shortfalls plays right into Clemson’s strengths on defense.

We will have to run the ball and against Clemson we will have to pass first in order to set up the run if we are to have a chance at #17. We are a legit 4-5 deep at RB, a legit 4-5 deep at WR. We honestly don’t need a game changer at qb, imho we do need a game manager at qb. Someone who will hand off to our talented RB’s an can hit enough passes to our WR’s to open holes for the running game.

I am hoping that Saban will close practice to the public, show nothing when the media is allowed to view practice an work on quietly preparing Tua to start in this game. We have a full month to prepare. Why not use that time to prepare Tua to be a game manager an give our offense the identity that our talent truly dictates we should be? We have nothing to lose an possibly #17 to gain.

I thought I post response to that, but I guess I didn't. The thing is RPO is Jalen's strength. You take away RPO, then you will see Hurts struggle against Clemson Defense. Need to minimize the RPO or use it in a creative way, maybe fake RPO plays.

I'm sure it won't. But I still think it would be the best thing we could do.

I agree. I don’t see it happening either but I think with all that has been discussed in this thread it would be the best thing that we could do that would hopefully reignite the offense.

Do you honestly believe Saban will start Tua in a playoff game ?

Start? Probably not.

Prepare him for the game? No doubt.

You said he wouldn't be prepared until next year. That's just not true. He's going to be prepared for the game even to the point of being prepared to start in case something happens to Jalen.

I'll say it again, the two things we have to do to beat Clemson and advance/win the NC is:

1. Run the ball more WITH OUR RUNNING BACKS.

2. Get more consistent qb play in the passing game (especially on 3rd down completions).

I don't care who the qb is if they can do these two things which will get our play makers running loose all over the field.
 
RTR and TIDE HSV... the part about where I said that will never happen was in response to Dr. Who's post and he made a statement, " Yeah. The main point was preparing Tua to start against Clemson. That's what I would love to see happen"

I said that will never happen. I didn't disagree on the preparation part, just the starting the game part.

I did not say that RTR91. I was talking about dr. who's post on Tua starting.
