100 times over. It's not even close. These teams wouldn't know how to handle a diverse offense like ours this year. Neither defense has any fear of the passing game.
I would pick Trace over either of these QBs
- Thread starter Pennoyer
- Start date
So, after 4 years on campus Trace is ahead of a true freshman and sophomore....hmmm. Hopefully he gets us to where these QBs got their team this year next year. Pretty sure Hurts would be awesome in our offense
No. He is one dimensional.
Good call, nostra-dumbass. He just ran for 20 yards and then threw for another 20.
In time everyone here will understand that Trace wasn't the runner we want in this offense. Hurts is. The only thing that I would question about Hurts in our offense would be his decision making. He has the arm.
Georgia's pass game is far from "crazy bad"...you guys are trying way too hard to bash the SEC tonight
Hurts is a good athlete but not a great qb. Great when he can use his athleticism, but not great when he he needs to be a passing qb.
Riiight. Hurts can't make the down field throws to run our offense.
Arm does no good if you don't have the accuracy or instincts to go with it. Hurts would be a great fit for Oklahoma circa 1985 or Nebtaska under Osborne
These defenses look like they are moving at twice the speed of any defense we have seen this year.
He's a TRUE SOPHOMORE...give him two more years. I think he'll be good enough as a passer that his running ability would make him a better fit in our offense.
The fact anyone started a thread about Trace while watching this game is just sad. Should be start a thread about how we'd prefer every guy on these defenses over our guys?
Trace has been in college for four years. He's done an amazing job. Fromm took Georgia to a title game as a freshman. Hurts has made two in two years. Let's give credit where it is due.
I think it's funny that you guys think our offense would be moving the ball at will against these defenses. Fromm's played very, very well. Hurts hasn't. Doesn't take away from what he's done in two seasons.
I think there is a decent chance that the younger Bama qb will be playing next year. Not sure if they stick w Hurts.
If you actually think that you are all the way out of your mind. He would be a complete disaster in our offense. Fromm would be better than Hurts
Tonight is his 28th start surrounded by 5 star talent galore. He's had plenty of time to figure out the forward pass.
Trace is better than either QB in this game.
Saquon is better than any running back in this game, although Chubb and Michel are very good, just not quite as good as #26.
Gesicki is a better (receiving) tight end than we've seen from either team so far.
DeSean is as good a receiver as we've seen from anyone on these two teams, too.
Man 'o man ... what could have been!
Let's see what our offense becomes over the next couple years. I assure you he's the kind of QB Franklin wants--see us recruiting Fields.
I respect the fact you and others are defending our guy but this is like listening to people claim McSorley will be a better NFL QB than Thorson...you're just looking at things with blinders.
Looking forward to seeing Tua now.
LSU/Miss State...I mean, they were better than any win we had, right?
Beating FSU with Francois carries weight...they were a different team without him...a bad team without him but Bama didn't get that easy matchup
Fields is NOTHING like Hurts. Nothing. As a HS kid Fields can make decisions while on the move or under pressure.
Hurts has zero ability to do that. Watch him. Watch his eyes the second he feels pressure. Hell watch the accuracy of this throws when he doesn't have pressure. He wouldn't be our backup sorry to say. He is fine for Alabama's offense playing against half ass SEC defenses, but awful for ours.
I believe Fields projected as much better passer than Hurts, a passer who can also run is what CJF is after, Will Levis, Clifford, Stevens. Agree with CoastGuard, Hurts would be great for the 80's Nebraska and Oklahoma teams, would kill at Georgia Tech now.
Jesus those teams were awful. LSU lost to Troy. Miss State beat exactly zero teams with a pulse.
My God man you must just be trying to get a rise. Northwestern would have rolled either of those teams. So would Michigan. Hell so would Iowa. The SEC was awful outside of 2 teams. Maybe Auburn.
Big Ten defenses elite. SEC defenses half-ass. It sucks we have to compete against elite defenses like Rutgers & Maryland every single week.
I like Northwestern--I think Northwestern is a huge win but they were ranked lower than LSU/Miss State. Dealing with facts. Michigan didn't beat a team all year with a winning record. Did you miss South Carolina beating them? You know--an SEC team?
Iowa only would have a chance at home. Iowa has zero respect on a national level. Auburn is not awful. LSU isn't awful either. Troy is better than you're giving them credit for being. They're a team that could beat some very good teams.
Instead of using your biases I'm using real numbers
I didn't make this about Penn State. I just asked what Bama's signature win was. The correct answer is they don't have one. Northwestern was a better win than either LSU or Miss State but I wouldn't call it signature and neither would you apparently. What makes LSU or Miss State a better win than 10 win Northwestern?
Saban just isn't afraid to make a big move at any position. He has a roster of 5 stars kids with high 4 star kids. He rode with Hurts all year but, in this matchup, he believes it was worth trying Tua. Tua's a stud.
