Few admire Jalen Hurts more than I do, both as a player and as a man. He did some wonderful things for Alabama in 2017 and 2018, all of which have been highly documented and well deserved.
But what no one has written about is and few have considered is how he hurt Alabama last season and why him leaving Alabama is a good thing for Alabama, not just for Jalen.
First all, Saban had to give Hurts playing time last season, both for Hurts sake as well the debt Saban felt he owed him for his prior great accomplishments.
