We are all forgetting Robert Foster

Do you think he is gonna be similar to what he was last year coming from having a torn rotator cuff, because some players dont come back the same as what they were?

Psh, house Mormont remembers.

I fear we don't have the QB playing that can take advantage of that Bama will still win but I think if people are expecting a show due to the WR corp they will be disappointed.

With those guys to throw to, only Barnett or Hurts (the latter of which will likely redshirt) would have much of an excuse, youth, for not playing above average. Cornwell hasn't thrown a pass in a game that I recall, so him too, to an extent. Bateman has minimal experience, so I'd give him a pass for a few games.

Even LSU found a way to feed Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckem Jr.

They had Mettenberger.

With our depth and experience at Wr.
It might be the reason that Jalen Hurts could land at 2nd on the depth chart.
To be Honest if derrick Henry had returned I would had no problem with Hurt being the starter.
Its true that a solid running game protects inexperience Qb/passing game.But with O.j Howard and Gehrig Dieter along with our top 3 wr's..
It may come down to how well Bo and Harris play.
Yet Hurts read option does add a punch to the running game on 3rd and say 3-4 yards needed.

Reality wise I cant see Saban going with a true freshmen , when he does have batmen coming back with some vet game experience..

Vol fans who saw Dieter play describe him as seemingly having more arms than an octopus. I expect him to be better than Mulaney...and that's saying something.

You got a frog in your pocket?

I hate giving a QB the keys just because he's older. Barnett or Hurts could murder the SEC with the weapons around them.

Plus they'd practice against our 1st team defense, so technically they'd be battle tested before game 1 to an extent.

I can't believe we're entering the 10th season with Saban running the show and people still believe he won't give the keys to the guy he thinks will give Bama the best chance to win.

If Bateman gets the nod it won't be due to his age. It will be a result of Nick thinking he won the job - and at this point it is pretty damned clear that Nick's got a pretty good idea about what makes a winning QB.
