No, he's very good. Just look at the TD pass to Waddle from last week. That's a tough, pro throw that he put right on the money.

So let's break him and watch them cry about it. Waddaya say?

a LOT of those passes were simply the WR getting behind the secondary. He throws a GREAT deep ball

Horrible comparisons. Manziel and Lamar can’t come close to Tua when throwing the football.

If you want an (admittedly biased) Alabama fans perspective Tua is absolutely the real deal.

He's deadly accurate, quick release, and while he's not Lamar Jackson he's mobile. He is also wicked smart and at times has read blitzes and thrown to sides of the field where he wasn't supposed to even be reading. So, yea he's the real deal.

Someone mentioned his accuracy has been off the past 2 weeks and it has. I think his knee was bothering him though he claims vs UT that the slope of the field threw him off but he might have been joking? Either way on his last 10 throws he went 9/10 and 2 TDs so hopefully(from a bama fans perspective) he will be back to his normal self by this game.

Also, its fair to wonder how well this offense will ply vs an upper tier D on the road with 2 weeks to prepare. However, he did go against a very very good Georgia D last year and did alright.

He's an incredible QB. His poise and play in OT vs Georgia was amazing. And the winning pass was something 1985 Joe Montana couldn't have accomplished.

For those people who think the boys from Inbredville will hang 40+ on LSU, I must remind you that Missouri kept them to 39.

With the athletes LSU has, the Tigers should be able to keep them under 30. It's a ballgame then.

Can we cover Jeudy please?

I mean shite half those were deep balls on the money to a wide open WR. Greedy is great, but he doesn't have that kind of speed. Really only Vincent does. We have to press them at the line and re-route them. If they are going to throw a deep ball, Tua needs to hold the ball for 4 seconds. Hopefully we are in his face by then.

Just FYI, Jeudy is very fast, but Ruggs and Waddle are both faster.

LOL. With 12 minutes left in the 3rd quarter Tua was injured and never came back in the game. By that point he already had 265 yards passing and 3 TDs. Missouri didn’t keep them to anything

And he’ll be even better with White out for the first half.

Tua is just a man. His shite stinks just like everyone else's. He's got an arse-whooping coming Nov 3rd.

Johnny Manziel and Lamar Jackson were the real deal too. You might want to check their stat lines against LSU.


Manziel and Lamar's Offensive lines were not very good either. LSU could pressure the QB in the past, not so much this year. If he has 5+ seconds to throw every time LSU is toast, not matter how good our CB's are.

No, you started this thread because you are a pusilannimous, fawning, trembling Bama sycophant who arrogantly believed he needed to "set the record straight" by spewing hyperbolic acclaim for Tua

You are what’s wrong with this website

hyperbolic acclaim

You also don’t appear to understand the definition of hyperbolic

All the evidence indicates that Tua is the REAL DEAL. I think he will light up the LSU defense. 

He is the real deal, but Delpit, Greedy and Fulton are also the real deal, so we'll see what happens.

Tua's accuracy has dropped significantly in the last two games. Have to hope that trend continues. And we have to hit him a lot.


The wind was swirling inside the stadium Saturday...
I think that caused issues.

As a Bama fan I'm excited for this game for that reason. Tua and this offense vs your defense and those DBs sounds like good football to me. Can't wait to see who comes out on top

Well "crown his arse" then!!! Suck his pecker just like everyone in the media is doing. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
