A lot of threads on this.

It's a murky situation right now.

Most think that this year's back up, Blake Sims, does not have the arm or accuracy to really run Alabama's system. The assumption seems to be he will not get the starting job because Alabama isn't going to change its system to fit his skill set.

Alec Morris (will be RS Soph), Luke Del Rio (will be Soph), and Cooper Bateman (will be Soph) all had some good HS credential and have been in the system at least a year, but the word is none of them have separated themselves to show they are ready. Word is Bateman has the most upside but Del Rio is probably the most ready.

Wildcard is Jacob Coker, current back up at FSU, who is rumored to want to transfer to Alabama and would be eligible to play immediately if he graduates from FSU. People are very high on his upside and think he could come in and take the job from the get go.

Not going to discuss the true freshman coming in. I think he will be good, but Saban isn't starting a true freshman at QB.

If I had to take a WAG, it would be Del Rio. Whoever makes the least mistakes is who Saban will go with and lean more on the running game ala' 2010-2011
