Kelley Bryant leaving...

[Easy-Rider 66]

Guess Bryant can not deal with being a back up. Intersting move for sure.

[Sam Odom]

not surprised

still cant understand how Saban kept Hurts

it's so lame how these kids transfer after not winning a starting job.

[Sam Odom]

Altho , he is gone from Bama after this yr. Kid graduates in December

Hurts has/had 3 options:

Stay a quarterback at a powerhouse and favorite to again be champions, albeit with sporadic playing time.
Transfer to another upper level team but as a running back.
Transfer to a nobody and play quarterback.

I’d do the same. I’d want to play. These guys don’t go to school for the academics, they go to play ball.

big joe

are you too old to walk on ?

[jjgold]

Clemson can get anyone

No loss

it shows weakness and running at the first sign of adversity.

things don't always go your way in life.

what a whiner.. guy sucks

[DanicaFantastica]

Maybe he wants to be Baker Mayfield you guys and win a Heisman! He did not even have a scholarship.

Not sure you watch enough college football with that opinion. Hurts will start next season at a good program. Ducks or somewhere along those lines. He’s a good college qb. Won’t translate but he will have plenty of options

[Art Vandelay]

Good timing for Bryant. New rule this year: If you play 4 games or less, you can transfer and keep that year of eligibilty. If he takes even a single snap vs Syracuse, he's done after this season. This way he can transfer anywhere and play a full season next year. Without this new rule, he's definitely riding it out with Lawrence this fall...

[big joe 1212]

I still have my eligibility

im gonna try out for the Syracuse QB position next year. I just need to drop about 100 lbs and reduce my 8.9 speed down a little

If you're trying to get in the NFL, you need games under your belt to show what you're made of. Not going to get that sitting on the bench or holding a clipboard.

hurts is red shirting he can still play in 4 games then he graduates in dec he can transfer next year to any school he wants and play right away still have 2 years left

[NardVa]

Smart move by the kid. Why blow your last year of eligibility riding the bench. This is his last year to audition for the NFL.

I watch plenty; Hurts is an above average athlete but a below (way below) average passer. Many around the program thought Tua should have started last year from day one. Alabama is the exception not the rule, they haven't relied on the qb position to win titles. Don't know of any other program that can say that. Imo.

Lol baker left Texas tech to start at Oklahoma . U dunno what your talking about

[pavyracer]

I would transfer too. Cam Newton transferred and now he is making millions in the NFL. You have to show your talent. Sitting on the bench will not do it.

[ronzer]

Russell Wilson as well

not sure why he announced it so quickly... that i would question...

but let's say it was end of season, why wouldn't he transfer? after all, his not being better than Lawrence is one person's judgement AND perhaps more importantly teams only play one QB... if it was any other position other than K/P he doesn't have to transfer.

mayfield, cam newton transferred (sort of in newton's case)......

why is there such hate for Hurts here? the kid from hawaii is better but Hurts was amazing at most times in the past himself.

[gojetsgomoxies]

Lol baker left Texas tech to start at Oklahoma . U dunno what your talking about

so he didn't "transfer"... i'm confused....

[gojetsgomoxies]

didn't realize Hurts is red-shirting..... almost never heard of non-freshman redshirting. more players should

Good

Cam didn’t transfer, he was auctioned

[jjgold]

All these teams are loaded with talent so it’s next man up

The coaches don’t even care when they transfer

Exactly what I mean. College football is a different animal. Have the contenders (or more) each year have below average passers. Hell, look at the schools most of the top qbs come from. He will be on a good program playing football next year. If you don't think there will be a good team with a worse qb than hurts I'd definitely wager that

[JayDr3am]

sometimes you have to move out of a current situation for another one to bloom and take its course.. he clearly knows his worth. l i wouldnt want to ride the bench either. put me in the game coach

That was my initial thought when I saw headline.

He needs a lot of work to have any shot of playing qb in nfl. He will make some school very happy the next 2 years though. Seems like a good kid. Hasn’t caused a distraction thus far and getting degree in 3 years while playing qb is very impressive. Chip Kelly should be banging on his door the minute he decides to transfer.

Good timing for Bryant. New rule this year: If you play 4 games or less, you can transfer and keep that year of eligibilty. If he takes even a single snap vs Syracuse, he's done after this season.

Thanks for info. Didn’t know that and it explains Bryant’s decision a little bit.

Cam transferred because he wa going to be kicked out of FL. Think about that for a second. Of all the bad kids Meyer has run through his programs and Cam was going to be given the boot. Speaks volumes about what Cam was like back then.

[daneblazer]

Vast majority of these transfers aren’t nfl material, they just want to play

You never know. Kurt Warner was bagging groceries after college career and two years after he won a Superbowl.
