Saban: Tua comparable to Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers

quote:
As a player, physically, there’s not a whole lot about Tagovailoa that jumps out. He stands 6-feet tall and his arm is good but not great. Everything else made him different than any quarterback Saban’s ever had.
"Really can rid of the ball quickly, and his accuracy is unbelievable, which, to me, is the most compelling thing a quarterback can have,” Saban said. “It’s good judgment about where you throw the ball, get it out of your hand when you need to get it out of your hand, and be accurate with it so the people that are catching it can catch it and run with it. That’s what he is. He makes a lot of really, really good throws in tight windows, which is the biggest difference between college quarterbacks and pro quarterbacks.
“Pro quarterbacks have to do that because there’s a lot more man-to-man. I think he’s proven that he can do that in his college career here.”
Then, I presented Saban with what I’ve heard: That scouts who’d gone through Tuscaloosa the last few years were getting Drew Brees as a comp from guys on Saban’s staff.
“I think he’s a lot like Drew Brees. I always thought Aaron Rodgers was a lot like that as a player too,” said Saban. “Not overly big, accurate with the ball, really good judgment, decision-making. Those guys are the style of player. I would never say the expectation should be he would accomplish what those guys have, I’d never wanna put that on a guy. But that’s the style of player he is.”

Accuracy wise, yea. Everything else, nah.

with hips like Bo Jackson

Saban back to NFL to coach Tua?
Posted on 2/17/20 at 2:08 pm to Bench McElroy
I think he is more like Russell Wilson.

Saban preferred a gimpy Culpepper over Brees soooo....

If Saban knew shite about NFL QBs, he'd have taken Brees over Daunte Culpepper in 2006, and he might still be coaching in the NFL.

Aaron has one of the strongest arms in the league.

He meant Culpepper and Rodgers

Yea he can really throw those 5 yard slant routes while his 5* receivers make NCAA ‘14 PlayStation moves to shake defenders and get to the endzone. He’s going to be a bust in the NFL

As long as Tua goes to a team with a fantastic offensive line, he will be great.
His sub-50 PFF grade when pressured isn't going to translate well otherwise.

He kinda reminds me of a Joe Burrow type, but gets hurt a lot

A dude with two busted ankles and a busted hip are going to do wonders in the NFL.

I find it hilariously ironic that Saban is comparing Tua to the future hall of fame quarterback that he turned down for Daunte Culpepper.

And Tua's made of glass.
Breed is made of iron.

the only thing similar between Aaron Rodgers and Tua is they both hit the slants. Aaron Rodgers is a freak with a football in his hands.

I've yet to hear Rogers or Breeze make pussy excuses when they lose.
I have also yet to hear Tua lose a game without making a pussy excuse.

Saban would know since he’s such a great nfl coach. But Cullpepper is on another level all by himself.

It’s been said but come the frick on, Nick. You’re talking about one QB that has one of the strongest arms in the league and another QB who is one of the most accurate passers the sport has ever seen.
Tua has a loooooooog way to go before he’s mentioned with either of those two. He’s more comparable to Chase Daniels right now.

In the 70 years of Pro Football, there have been two left-handed NFL HOF QBs and 1 of them didn't get in until after he died.
Recivevers hate lefties (see Jerry Rice comments about Steve Young), NFL hates lefties, read The Blind Side.
Tua has a tough road to being great.
