Figster Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 2 hours ago, Bill from NYC said: Did you see that freshman Waddle? I was watching him when he was lined up to return a punt. He jumped up to stretch from a standstill and it looked like his knees were over his head. Seriously. An announcer said he is the fastest player on the team and it looks as if he has moves and hands. The Tide has 4 wideouts that I know of that are off the charts great and I'm not exaggerating. There might even be more; who knows at this point? Btw, I wouldn't be even a little surprised if Jerry Jeudy turns out to be better than Calvin Ridley. Both Ruggs and Jaylen Waddle can flat out fly. I just can't get over Tua Toga, its almost like he plays in a higher gear, and the way the lefty drops his tight spirals in so perfectly. If Allen doesn't pan out (pretty sure he will) we need to keep an eye on this up and coming superstar. Dare we say Heisman? 1 Quote

Once again, the tools he has to work with are insane and should even improve. One of the announcers said that Davonta Smith (of the OT TD catch in the title game) only caught 8 passes last season and had that many catches last night. When teams go all in on pass defense Saban will run it down their throats. The defense does still have question marks imo. 1 Quote
Sky Diver Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) If they had played Tua the whole game and hadn’t let up, they would have scored 70 or 80 points. Edited September 2, 2018 by Sky Diver 2 Quote

Never gets old watching Saban on the sidelines coaching his players up old school, especially when they screw up. Tide could be ahead 40 to zero in the 4th and he still going to get every drop of coaching into his players he can. Using everything he can to inspire greatness out of his players including basketball greats. what a coach... 1 Quote

Buffalo716 Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Tua has been my #1 favorite QB prospect since his SR season in HS ... last years spring game, when he was still in HS, he lit up Bamas defense and I knew he was special i said he should’ve been starting since day 1... he’s gonna be a top pick... his arm is live 2 Quote

Nice job spotting talent 716 There is just something different about him... you got a stacked Bama Defense... and this tiny 5’11 kid trots out with the #2s against the #1 Bama Defense in the country and just shredded them. He threw 1 pick but I think he had 3-4 TDs that were absolutely unreal and he was still a HS SR technically He was lasering balls down the seam and down the far sideline and I was just laughing in awe... I was like damn, Saban finally got a legitimate QB.. like NFL star potential whoever gets Tua will be super happy... QB crush #2 Trevor Lawrence... I’ve never seen a QB of his age play so mature and have an arm like him in HS. I would’ve spent a first on him this last draft if he were eligible. He’s gonna be a superstar 1 Quote
row_33 Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 When a team knows it will win easily by 40, why not let your QB take some snaps to drop back and throw the ball? give him a chance to help him develop crucial skills and a better chance to play the pro game instead of heading to the garbage heap as a college QB who was on 2 playoffs teams Quote

Bfanlc Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Think he is trying a back handed troll job on the Hurts situation. Quote

Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 4, 2018 Author Posted September 4, 2018 What a game!!!! It is SOOOOOOO nice watching Tua play!! Quote
Sky Diver Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 He’s unbelievable. Jalen is graduating in December. I don’t think he lasts the season. He likely wants to preserve his 2 yrs of eligibility. Quote

Even for Saban, that was kind of an odd move. Hurts will play the 4 games he's allowed, and that will be it. Quote
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 4, 2018 Author Posted September 4, 2018 Im so glad Saban has declared Tua the starter now 2 Quote

Sky Diver Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks. I know they have Tua’s brother and Bear’s great grandson in the wings. Quote
