According to the the score Jalen Hurts may transfer if he doesn’t start. I tried to post the link but I couldn’t get it to work. I’d rather see him go than Tua, however, I think which ever one doesn’t start will transfer.

I certainly hope he doesn't, but could not blame him if he did.

According to the article his father was “hinting” at a transfer but nothing from Jalen. He’s a great athlete but he is not going to beat you with his arm and teams have figured that out. I wouldn’t mind having him as a RB but then again last I checked I wasn’t on the coaching staff.

hate to see him go, but...bye Felicia.

He will be the starter.

My guess would be for the first series

Averion Hurts said. "My job is to do what's best for Jalen -- and make no mistake, Jalen is a quarterback, and he wants to play quarterback. He loves Alabama, loves Coach Saban and everything about that place. But he wants to play, and he will play."

So his dad suggests that Jalen will look for a greener pasture if he doesn't start. I assume Jalen has sense enough to not publicly speak on the topic.

Bye

His father also said that he would he the biggest free agent in the history of college football.

I suspect that this will be fun to watch......

I would hate to lose a good athlete like that but Tua is the real deal and should be the starter.

What a problem to have! On the flipside, I am worried about Tua's hand. Will it heal properly? I don't think any of us have the whole story on that. Thats not the kind of info Saban wants to say in public.

Heck. He might not even be hurt. I think I read on here he can’t tear an acl if he on the bench during the spring.

seems like i read he re-injured it as well

Hurts would serve himself well to look at the history of QB transfers, not only from Bama from anywhere. The success of QB’s once they transfer from their original school is very small. Most are like a fart in the wind, they just fade away. Hurts will never play QB at the next level, he should realize that now and maximize his stock for the NFL.

Sounds like his dad is the issue. His arrogance will cost his son lots of money.

Well ol' Averion may be a High School football coach but he doesnt know much about QBs as they progress up in age. Jalen was a QB. He's an absolutely 100% perfect HS QB that any HS coach in the nation would kill to have on his roster. At the college level, as a QB, he's decent but not great and there are probably 60-75 college QBs, if not more, that spin it, read, and make quicker, better decisions at the QB position, than Jalen is capable of doing. Jalen has survived and played very effectively at Bama based only on his freakish athleticism and supporting cast. At the pro level, Jalen will get laughed at as a QB by pro scouts. If Averion's job is truly "to do what's best for Jalen", he needs to pull the "daddy ball" blinders off and meet with Saban and Jalen about a position change and move to slot receiver so that Jalen can make it to the pros and be successful, cause he's dang sure ain't going to be successful as a pro QB, no matter how much daddy thinks he should.

Well said.
