Hahah dude we will absolutely not win any kind of championships with Simpson, not this year anyway.
I honestly hope I'm the one that is crazy and is just missing something obvious. That'd be great. I just 100% did not see anything worth being excited about with Simpson.

Funky,
I told everybody on this board who Jalen Milroe was after the ADay game...some didn't listen. I also said Ty Simpson would be more a gamer which he is and he's the only one who can really run a full effective offense.
What I mean by that is short, intermediate, down field passing, and the read option.
He needs experience and he needs the offensive line to gel that's it.

I have heard a number of people on this board say that all Alabama needs at QB is someone who can take care of the ball, distribute to the play makers, and keep a defense honest with the ability to hit the long ball.
Ty did all of that tonight. He also did a reasonable job of reading the defense for run plays, some progression on pass plays, and throwing mid-level passes.
He needs work in "feeling" and reading the pass rush - that only comes with experience in live fire. His short perimeter passes were close but not great. That looked to me like he was holding the ball a little too tightly.
Ty also ran the ball pretty well a couple of times.
Ty is not yet ready to win games for Alabama. He may improve on that with more live experience. If the coaches can keep him from trying to win the game and just win the play, the rest of it will likely come around.
I think he is Alabama's best choice to manage the games and hopefully become something more by mid to late October.

Did he do any of this well besides the one pass to the TE?
Look, I hope you guys are right in that Simpson is better than Milroe, I just didn't see anything today that was evidence of that.

I only saw enough today to say that Ty Simpson should be the backup to Milroe.
Hopefully Milroe took his humbling and commits himself to being the QB he can be.

I think what you didn’t see, by which I mean costly turnovers, is the most encouraging thing

Dude its fricking USF.
They are worse than MTSU.

He is...
There's no if ands or buts about it.
Funky,
If he gets behind a line who can protect him or just hold up a little bit...our offense will take off with him. That's all I'm saying.

This is a big positive but frankly he wasn't asked to do much. He did do enough to loosen the defense up a bit by hitting a few passes.
I think Alabama still got to find an identity on offense that doesn't center on the quarterback. If it is Milroe or Simpson, the real ceiling for this team comes with a better OL. They pass protect poorly...so they need to start imposing their will to make up for it.

Well we don't run block especially well either.
Not sure why we haven't seen 26 or 22 basically at all, but I'm not at the practices.
And I realize that Roydell was the best offensive player tonight. He was a beast.
But why do we have the other two in the stable if we aren't going to use them at all?

Milroe has been QB1 for 3 1/2 games. He can run, but he has shown 0 improvement from the Texas A&M game to today. None.
Ty got thrown in there today in his first actual real game action. Did he set the world on fire? No. But I can see where Ty could improve weekly with more reps and experience and be a serviceable QB by mid season. Although, I thought spring ball was where you get these issues worked out. Not sure what we used spring practice for... and not just the QB situation.
I'm more worried about the OL though.

Granted. With the rush they were getting today, Milroe absolutely would have struggled. Did you see him scramble into the waiting arms of Longhorns last week? You think he would have been accurate all of a sudden?

Ty us much better than Buchner but he isn't better than Milroe.
Milroe can't run the whole offense. We could blow out bad teams with him, but the offense would never be good against good defenses.
Simpson, and the o-line, have a lot of growing to do, but at least the potential is there to eventually run a balanced offense.

I don’t disagree on our small sample of him. My main concern for anyone moving forward is getting our OL in shape to actually benefit his play style. Ty got sacked at least 5 times and none of them were his fault, same for Buchner. If we even have 50% of this showing we might lose by 3 touchdowns to OM. We are about to step into a gauntlet of teams.

This means absolutely nothing.
Milroe didn't turn the ball over against MTSU either. I want the best QB to play and maybe Simpson has the highest ceiling. However, just based on MTSU and Texas, it is clear that Milroe moved the ball more consistently and put points on the scoreboard.

You are dilusional. You're just seeing what you want to see, but it ain't there. Simpson ain't it. You cannot look at Simpson against USF and think that our guy. Lord help us, if you're giving any input to Saban.
Are we being punked?! Is this Rees??
