No, her nephson was going to buy her one when he went to the draft but he decided to piss everyone off and quit in a temper tantrum.

Butch Jones is just stupid.

We need to stop trying to rationalize his decisions.

This is the same guy that went for 1 when he needed to go for 2 against Florida.

What does that make you and your decisions? You're seriously the last person that should be judging others.

If he was elite he'd be in the draft as a RB. Not transferring and contemplating a position change.

He's changing positions because he wants a longer nfl career. He's 100% an elite RB and will probably be a elite TE also

A thread was started on VQ about Hurd's moms tweet about Kamara. And she came on and posted this...

Let me paint a quick picture for you all, so you can see what I live with everyday. Oh, and thanks for the tag, I would hate to miss another high quality bashing session. Some poster above said that they saw Jalen at a club recently. He said he looked "real skinny", then the thread continues on and implies that "he's on something". So, I firmly expect to wake up to now read all over the internet that my son is on drugs. lol. Do you see how that works? How someone starts a rumor and then it turns into the truth. It's sad, but that's how it is. The TRUTH is that Jalen has purposely leaned down because he wants to play WR. He's training very hard to continue his dreams of playing football.

When Jalen left, I expected the quitter stuff. I see it, hear it, read it everyday. Sure, its hard for a parent to constantly feel the never-ending criticism of your kid, but you expect that when they leave mid-season. What I didn't expect was people making up random stories (cussing out coaches, getting benched, kicked off the team, problems with teammates, etc.) to be written and people so eagerly accept that as the truth. Jalen had his reasons for leaving, but I can promise you that it had nothing to do with anything remotely disciplinary. And honestly, if you knew why, it wouldn't be Jalen that you would be upset with.

As for my comment today, it was in response to someone (one again) trashing Jalen. It was not meant to be derogatory towards Alvin as I wish him all the best. It was a follow-up on the million dollar question about why he never played that much. There are many reasons that Alvin did not play a lot. I won't discuss those here, but it's obvious that there were quite a few things that kept him from the field.

So, flame away. It is what it is. I'm sorry that my son left, but I know why he did, and now I support his decision to move forward with what he thinks is best for his life.

Tell us what he had did to even make you think he is an elite RB

7th best rushing season in TN history

Finished his career 6th in team history in rushing despite only playing about 2.5 years. Would've broke the record if he would've stayed.

Those are things that make you "elite". When you're a sophomore and you have one of the best season in school history, that's "elite".

Elite gets thrown around far too much. There's nothing elite about Hurd.

Hurd was a decent SEC power rb back who lacked speed.

What an idiot! AK (VFL), will be ten years in the league while Hurd (not a VFL) is working at McDonald's!

What would he have to do to be "elite" to you?

Have some combination of speed, agility, and power. Hurd would bully his way through defenders for 2-8 yards. He was dependable for that but he didn't have big play potential.

His career numbers don't say "elite rb". He benefited from coming in at a time when there was no established starter ahead of him. He was a 5 star recruit that had a starting job waiting for him as soon as he stepped on campus. Few Tennessee rb's had that luxury. He had a lot of carries, but avg 4.4 yards per carry for his career. That's not elite for college ball.

And after this year he may not even be viewed as the best rb on the roster during his time at TN. It was painfully obvious that Kamara should have gotten more carries than he was given.

I do wish we could have seen him play in the I formation. With him at fullback blocking for AK would have been a powerful combo.

Hurd has great top end speed and power. His numbesr absolutely say elite. He's had one of the best seasons in school history as a sophomore.
