I may not be right, but I think the kid who seemed to be ignoring Saban while he was getting chewed out hasn’t been back in the field since. Anderson, was it?

After watching tonight, it kind of confirms that Kyler could be a QB in the NFL.

I don’t care about his height. He is tough, accurate, and really fast.

I am sure he will be great at baseball or football.

Murray is 5'11".
Russell Wilson is 5'11".
Drew Brees is 6'0".
Baker Mayfield is 6'0".

If you're good, you're good, even if you're not tall.

I think saying Murray is 5’11” is very generous. They said he was more like 5’9” earlier in the broadcast.

Though I agree skill is skill.

Yeah, Murray is not 5'11". 5'9" might even be pushing it a little.

I'd love to see the kid get a shot in the NFL, but I wouldn't want that shot to be as quarterback of my team. No way. His "speed" gets cut in half when he starts playing against guys who are all freakishly fast, and when everyone of your offensive lineman, never mind the defensive lineman, is 6+ inches taller than you. He might be a decent starting QB for a few years, until he can't run like he does now, but he'll never be a top 10 guy.

Tua on the other hand? Sign me up. I'm also a big fan of Haskins.

Can’t win this with no defense. Doesn’t matter how good your offense is.

Having given 14.5 points, I’m ready for the Alabama defense to get their shit together right here right now.

Tua update:

24/27, 318 yards, 4td's.

Don't forget, he had a td wiped off the board in the 1st half because of a very questionable illegal formation call too.

I think you have to at least consider going onside kick here if you're OK, especially with the 15 yard penalty being enforced on the kickoff.

Murray: Have fun playing for Oakland and getting traded before you reach arbitration after turning down a lowball offer of a contact extension.
