Alabama fans: Stop the negativity and rally behind Mac Jones

He is not Tua Tagovailoa, but he is an Alabama quarterback and he needs your support.

A mixture of emotions have hit Crimson Tide fans all over social media, following an ankle injury to Tagovailoa versus Tennessee. He will miss this week’s game against Arkansas and instead of backing Mac Jones as the starter, people want Taulia Tagovailoa to get the nod.

Regardless of how talented the true freshman is (and he is), the disrespect being shown toward Jones is uncalled for. He is someone that has been in this system for three years and at a time where student-athletes flee from competition, the redshirt sophomore remained at Alabama.
