Definitely could do a whole lot worse, and I agree he's very dynamic; but, he can't make the throws at Bama, what makes us think he can make them here? And no matter what, in close games, a big-time throw has to be made a some point or another, and Hurts has yet to prove he can do it. Yes, none of us know if Shrout can make them in the SEC either, maybe he can, maybe he can't...but, I'll trust his arm over Hurts' arm any day.

Lets not act like he just cant throw at all. hes a career 62% passer. Is he going to wow you with his arm? no. But for a 2 year grad transfer... He is definitely worth taking a flyer on.

Much like JG, the arm isn’t the concern with Shrout.

What our staff does at QB between now and next summer will be pretty telling about whether the staff thinks they can get Shrout up to speed enough to be a starter or backup anytime soon.

Hurts was a respectable QB with Kiffin coaching him. Looked like a liability without Kiffin.

Can Helton max out his potential again? Idk.... Id just assume keep the guys we have in house.

You can have both. There is really no negative in bringing him in, if he wants to be here.

Double commenting here, but now that I think about it, didn’t Helton not offering Martinez at USC have something to do with it as well?

Im really not for sure. I dont follow recruiting really. I thought it was something about the new staff took really long to contact him and didnt really let him know that his offer from us was still good and we still wanted him.

Im not trying to bang the drum for Hurts but I think you have to look at last year objectively too. He had an obvious downgrade at OC on top of having to learn a new offense which wasn't half as creative as the one he was in. Yes Tua looked amazing when he came in, but georgia literally had no plan or preparation for him. Being a lefty and a totally different qb was basically like facing a different team in the 2nd half.

Question... How do y'all deal with Bammer sense of entitlement? I was out to dinner with work collegue, the aforementioned Bammer, and he was going on and on how Bama's 3rd string would go 8-4, the dynasty will continue even after Saban retires. He said only remembers the losses, and the we're two plays from having 3 in a row...ref Clemson two years ago. Also he said every HC in SEC would eventually be a Sabanite.But capped it off the he wished TN could be a rival again. Made me wanna throw up in mouth.

Sid note to bammer bandwagon. We took our grandson to the splash pad and as we were leaving saw a couple with their hood up.

Asked if I could help and said he needed a jumpstart. As I was letting it charge up making small talk, I saw he was wearing a Alabama hat. Asked him if he was ready for football season. He stated yes, and went on to say the defense was going to be strong and he really liked their new defense coordinator “ Mus Willchamp” not joking, that’s what he said and even had the name backwards. I didn’t say anything because his wife was standing there.

62%, true; but, his last 4 big time games (Clemson NC game; Auburn; Clemson Semifinal game; UGA NC game) he hasn't been able to do it.

I haven't said a word about hurts. Only that I would prefer shrout. Yer acting like jg is already gone.

I just threw out a scenario that is a possibility. I find it very Unlikely that both McBride and JG are on our roster next year so that puts us -2 QBs with Chryst leaving.

So your QB room is going to be JG/McBride,Shrout, and ?

Why would you not want to bring in hurts.
