This is SO overblown.

I don't have a dog in this fight; DeBoer is an offensive guy and has had success in that area everywhere he's been so I'll trust him to pick the right guy...

But the bad snaps last year were not overblown. They were real and they popped up from the first game to the last; very costly in some instances, not so much in others, but they happened. After the Rose Bowl, even Saban mentioned the snapping issues had been a problem all season...

Here are just a few links relating to it:

Snapping Issues after the first couple of games:

Costly Snaps First 2 Weeks

Many Bad Snaps in Loss to Texas

Snapping Issues after the Rose Bowl:

Bad Snaps Stifle Bama in Rose Bowl Loss

Same Issue Plagued Alabama Offense Entire Rose Bowl

Saban Says Huge Issue Led to Horrific Final Snap

Snapping Issues the Entire Season:

McLaughlin has No Answers for Season-Long Snap Issue

McLaughlin's Case of Bad Snaps

These are just a handful, there were many more. Seems like almost everyone was seeing this, not just Jalen Milroe supporters, so I don't see how it could be seen as such an overblown issue...

For the reasons I said. It's something easy to point out. Snaps WERE an issue. But, they become a much bigger issue when they're added to lots of other issues. People acting like bad snaps were the major reason our QB was bad are either not very bright, or fooling themselves.

And, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the snaps weren't great in the A-day game. Nobody mentioned it much, because we aren't in the looking-for-excuses mode right now.
