He's not great but besides Sam Nasty and Lamar who is? He's good enough to get recruited by Bama, beat out every white boy on the depth chart, and go 14-0 and leading his team to an SEC Championship. Without him who knows how the LSU game ends up.
There is ZERO percent chance he isn't the starter.
Plus history has shown that Alabama doesn't need LJ or Darnold level QB play to win, just good enough QB play.
Hurts is a winner, that's all that matters. For a True Freshman to go down to Baton Rouge on a Saturday Night and win is mind boggling when you think about it.
Tua might look good but we don't know how that would translate to on-field play, how do we know that Tua would have the same poise as Hurts did last season?
Hurts will be the starter.
