And yes I watch it.........I work at home. Better than the View.

But going to break they asked " Lets discuss ...........is Tua the greatest quarterback in college football history?"

I know......consider the source.........but good god. That could be a new low.

I mean, he's probably the best college QB of all time.

Alabama is averaging a point per snap when Tua is in the game. Let that marinate

Well yeah. Did you have to make a point to the extreme to convey your message though?

The answer might be no, but I don’t see how the question isn’t legitimate.

Well yeah, the Tide are damn good. The program is historically good. But all things being equal, I don’t think he does the things that Tebow, VY, or Manziel did. Hell, you could throw RGIII in there. Those guys were program changers. Unfortunately, Tua can’t really change the program because it’s already seemingly on auto pilot.

If you took Tua’s stats from his first 6 games and compared them to the best 6 games in the career of every QB that has won a heisman, Tua’s numbers are better. Also, I’ve watched him play and he’s fricking incredible

Full disclaimer, I HATE Alabama but I’m not oblivious to facts and objectivity

I mean obviously you could make that argument but when thinking about the history of college football theres Baker Mayfield, Deshaun Watson, Mariota, Tebow, Kyler Murray currently, John Elway, Sammy Baugh, Archie Manning, Peyton Manning, McMahon, Steve Young, Marino, Luck, etc I mean there's just so damn many that have played and played great historically its like selecting the flavor of the month in this respect

I hate Peyton Manning...........but all he did was throw for 350 every week against the SEC for 3 or 4 years.

RGIII is perfect...........same exact QB. Yet worse talent around him.

If Tua doesn’t play in the ship last year, UGA probably wins that game, especially with Hurts at QB.

Tebow played on some pretty stacked teams too, particularly the 08 UF team. And he didn’t win the Heisman that year. Tua is almost certainly going to win it this year.

Then you are just in denial

Not sure how this is relevant, but you can’t throw Vince Young or Tim Tebow in there if that’s your argument.

Tua is a much better QB than Tebow.

Do you really think they'd be doing worse if they had someone like Mayfield or Murray or Lawrence?


Yes. Minimally, but yes. His accuracy and spatial awareness is otherworldly

Russel Wilson had an insane year.

Let’s see how he plays through the harder part of the schedule. Tua could be be, but let’s see more of the season first?
