re: I honestly didn't think Tua was the greatest thing since sliced bread

Question is if we traded QB's do the Tigers win? I don't think so because Tua would have been harassed just a badly as Joe was and Joe would look all world with the protection he was getting from his OL.

He was off and is not playing well with the knee brace. He missed some throws he normally makes in his sleep. He has been off really the last 3 games.
The play calling has not been the same either. He is not a threat to pull it on the zone read and it has made the Bama offense easier to defend.
He was obviously better before the knee injury.
That was like a C+ game from him.
Hopefully he can take the brace off by the time the playoffs come around.

I'm not "amazed" by him.
I was amazed with Cam Newton
Cam was in his fourth year when he amazed you. Tua is in his second. They both amazed me. Knowing what I know of each of them I'd take Cam in college but Tua in the pros. He will be a great NFL QB.

25 of 42 is really not the stuff of greatness when your OL protects you like the palace guard.
This right here.
Tua is nothing close to Brees accurate.

Trent Dilfer says he is the best high school talent he has ever seen and easily the best QB to ever come through the Elite 11 camps.

Well, the dude has 27 TDs to 1 Int., so that is pretty damn incredible and accurate.

He gets a ton of protection and makes some great throws from that, but I just don't see him in the Drew Brees category of consistent precision.
I guess what I'm saying is that he's human, not the superman everybody painted him to be.
Having said all that, I'd sure love to have him on OUR side.
In a year or so he will be drafted by the shittiest team in the NFL and you will see how good he is then. That is not a shot at him like it sounds. I do think he is the best QB in CFB. He does however have an all star cast of WR's and an excellent running game that compliments his skills.
Saban has mastered the three headed monster scheme...
Blitz and my QB will still hit my WR's in stride.
Play coverage and he will pick you apart underneath or
he will hand the ball off to a jackrabbit running into wide open spaces.

Super Bowl winning QB Trent Dilfer has been on the Tua Tagovailoa bandwagon before he even set foot on Alabama’s campus.
Dilfer coached Tagovailoa during the Elite 11 quarterback competition as a high school senior, and Dilfer knew then that Tagovailoa was special. And even after getting on campus, Dilfer continued his high praise for the signal caller. He even joined the SDS Podcast earlier this year and said Alabama would beat everyone 50-3 with Tagovailoa at QB. And he wasn’t wrong. The Tide have won their first three games by an average score of 57-9.
The former NFL veteran joined The Rich Eisen Show this week to talk about Tagovailoa and Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins.
“I think Tua’s a generational talent. I mean, I’ve said this over and over and over,” Dilfer said. “I said it a year and a half ago before he got to Alabama. I think that he’s a kid that can go through his college career and never lose a game, considering where he’s at. … I mean, he’s that kind of good. The best I’ve ever seen.”
Eisen then pressed Dilfer for more info after his “best I’ve ever seen” comment.
“Of the 32 NFL starters right now, I want to say 20 of them — my numbers may be off — have gone through our Elite 11,” Dilfer said. “I know the other ones well. He’s the greatest high school talent I’ve ever seen, and it’s not close. But it’s not just how he throws the ball and his movement skills. It’s his maturity; it’s his focus; it’s his football IQ; it’s his leadership. It’s everything. He’s the complete package.
“And you’re just seeing the tip of the iceberg. He can do things with a football that I’ve only seen a couple other people be able to do. And he can think quickly, and nothing bothers him, and he’s a great leader. Like I said, he just checks every box.”
Through three weeks, Tagovailoa has somehow not only lived up to the immense hype, but he’s surpassed it. The Hawaii native is completing 72 percent of his passes for 646 yards and eight TDs, and he only plays a half a game (so far).
