....I didn't read it. It just brought back some memories and I was quick to comment.

Don't you mean sofa king we todd did?.......I’m allowed to use the term. Because I’m slightly retarded.
I’d take this kid in a heartbeat. Tua is the flavor of the month in Tuscaloosa, but Hurts is still a good player. He’s definitely better than any QB we have on our roster. I’m just being honest. I can’t think of a scenario in which a starting QB who has already won a National Chamionship as THE guy on his team and was the starter for most of another season in which his team won the title again was in danger of losing his job. Tua may be better, but Hurts is too talented to ride the pine. I doubt he would be allowed to transfer within the SEC, but I’d take him without hesitation if he were interested in coming here.
Just wanted to point out that Hurts hasn’t won 2 NCs at Bama. They lost to Clemson his frosh year when he was the starter. He’s only got the one title from a few months ago. Also,I would agree that he’s better than what we currently have but I don’t think he’s elite. He can’t throw very well...he seems like a one trick pony blessed by having a lot of talent around him, IMO.

That’s not saying much.I stand corrected. He’s still better than anybody we have on the roster.
oft-rode? TWO-che!... for sure she's an oft-road vehicle.
I get more laughs than reliable information out of Bleacher Report.
They could start fixing it by stop acting like they're the Wikipedia news source for sports.
So a few here keep insinuating that some among us can’t read, and are thus jumping the gun on being critical of the transfer rules and it’s impact on cfb. The mere speculation of Hurts approaching the QB competition with the attitude reflected in the OP’s title is a rabid combination of fake news and baseless rush to judgement. So...
"Coach Saban's job is to do what's best for his team. I have no problem with that," Averion Hurts said. "My job is to do what's best for Jalen—and make no mistake, Jalen is a quarterback, and he wants to play quarterback. He loves Alabama, loves Coach Saban and everything about that place. But he wants to play, and he will play…"
What if Jalen doesn't win the job, he is asked?
He shakes his head slowly, answers begrudgingly. "Well, he'd be the biggest free agent in college football history."
I bet he’d wind up at Oregon or Nebraska.
He takes too long with his reads and looks indecisive at times when he has a long time.
Still, he’s really good. As a freshman he drove his team to take the lead in the NCG and lost to an seasoned, elite star QB who carved up Bama’s defense in 30 seconds or whatever to win the game. And don’t forget, Kiffin blew out of there right before the game.
And yet, he'd be immensely better than any QB we've had in years.Hurts is probably the worst qb sabans had at bama. He's kinda been their anchor.
I wouldn't put it past Saban to name him the starter and then demote him after a few games just to keep him from tansferring.

McElroy was trash. Far worse. Blake Sims? John Sara Jessica Parker Wilson?Hurts is probably the worst qb sabans had at bama. He's kinda been their anchor.
