Cool and love the new high standards at Bama...

Auburn is your rival and we can say whatever we want to rustle thy crimson jimmies.

Coker was a highly coveted back-up at FSU, so TTs asks what tools does he have
It's a fair question to ask especially since he will be starting whether he is great or not.

Ask Sims if it has helped him in his status with the Bama fans.

Ryan Leaf was an animal in college (albeit against terrible competition)
And I know it hasn't helped Sims...can't get blood from a turnip

The high expectations will destroy this fan base even more. Can't wait.

No expectations
All Coker has to do is be "game manager" enough to let a low score win with the D Bama will have this year
ETA: Anything else is complete and total icing on the cake

quote:Nick Marshall only had to battle Jeremy Johnson (a true freshman going through his first summer at Auburn), Jonathan Wallace (a true sophomore that was not recruited high and had only a spring of Gus Malzahn's offense under him), and Kiehl Frazier (fricking lulz here). Little bit of a different situation, IMO.

You didn't see anything magnificent from Nick Marshall before he got to AU he was a DB at UGA for goodness sake.

1. Already shown to be highly competitive from at least earning #2 at FSU
quote:Yes.
2. Size - bigger than every other QB at Bama right now
quote:Yes, maybe.
3. Smarts - Already graduated in a semester over 2 years. I can also guarantee you that he already has a playbook working on learning it.
quote:Little experience, and looked bad during it...against bad competition.
4. Experience - He and Sims are the only QBs on Bama's roster who have actually gotten in and played in a D1 game, makes a difference.

This guy and his cocksuckery.

TT...what is your quarrel with Coker? You are literally going after any angle you can. We get that you think he's going to be awful. BUT AGAIN...WHY ELSE DO WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO? He will win the job easily and Alabama will again be contenders in the west.

You really are quite sensitive today. I believe you now.

Told you bro. I would never lie to you.

Ok let's compare the situation
Is Jeremy Johnson better than Cooper Bateman, Sims, the fricking Ginger McLeod, and Alec Morris who as another Bama poster put it yesterday...we're ALL totally different degrees of terrible
Sims threw a sidearm attempting to miss Pettway and he caught it and turned it into a pick 6
Cooper Bateman has a great deep ball but stared down guys and doesn't properly go through reads, tries to force it down field
McGinger tossed every pass longer than 15 yds like a wounded duck and 1 was intercepted and the other dropped...by a defender
Poor Cornwell got 1 pass attempt and tried to pump and the ball slipped out and he's lucky as hell it wasn't another defensive TD
Staff has so much trust in Alec Morris all he does when he is at QB is hand the damn thing off, throw a 2 yd screen and he was the only player that punted yesterday...that's right he punted all day and touched the ball more punting than passing
I'd give my mother freaking left testicle to have Jeremy Johnson on Bama's roster right now...and Nick Marshall beat him out
Coker will be the starter, if it isn't Coker we will see nothing but swings screens and boots

quote:I just don't understand the hype, that's all... Nothing from his time in high-school or during his time at Florida State lead me to believe he is some kind of Heisman contender (not saying any Alabama said this) or even some kind of huge upgrade over what Alabama already has.
TT...what is your quarrel with Coker?

We get that you think he's going to be awful.

I don't think he's going to be the best QB we've ever seen or anything. HOWEVER he's light years better than what we currently have. Like I've said before WE are excited about the prospect of him being as advertised. We can be excited right?

No hype, just better than what is on the roster

We have been over this...He ran a Wing T offense at St Paul's, was in with scrubs whenever he got in at FSU and I haven't ever said he will be a Heisman Contender, Paul Finebaum (top yesterday on Bama's Aday game broadcast) and damn Maisel have but I certainly don't think that.

Agreed on this but so was Marshall was he not?

Well Bucc if you don't think he'll win the Heisman then you're not a Bama fan. THE DOOR IS THAT WAY --->
Posted on 4/20/14 at 3:37 pm to thatdude1985
I thought Derrick Henry was gonna win the Heisman this year??

was in with scrubs whenever he got in at FSU
