Why can't people see that Saban doesn't need a great qb to win?

I for one am not worried a bit about Coker. Why? Well all Saban will require him to do is not turn the ball over, that is it. He won't be required to throw for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns. Saban won a championship with Matt Mauk, Matt frickin Mauk and he topped that with winning his second title with Greg McElroy. The only concern I think Bama has is the o-line, if that shite isn't straightened out we will be in for a long season, but the qb is not an issue. Never has been and never will be under Saban.

So you're not worried one bit about a guy that was unable to start once in his college career taking reins at Alabama in game one against a very potent WVU air raid offense? An offense Saban is down right terrible with scheming against. It's likely to be a shoot out, and you better prey Coker is up to the task.

When are y'all going to make up your minds if your QBs are good or not? I mean, seriously. Anytime there is a question at QB, y'alls past QB's turn into average game managers. But when y'all are comparing stats with other QBs in the league, y'all are the first to call them great....

You win the SEC by running the football.

I don't think Coker is going to help or hurt you running the football.

He's a red herring to your chances for a SEC title in 2014. Keep focusing on your line and tailbacks.
That will be the key to your successes and failures.

(of course... everyone will always put those successes and failures on the QB anyways).

Saban doesn't need a great QB to win. The contention of many people here, including some Bama fans, is that Coker might just be a pretty pitiful QB.

I do find it hilarious how some people will bash their QBs saying they aren't good, and in the same breath can say they'll suck because they lost their QB.

Makes zero sense lol

The problem isn't the talent, it's the cracks in the armor.

Saban is a myth, an illusion borne out of a very good football coach. A savior descending upon the unwashed (not metaphorically, they're dirty) to bring them back to glory.

Now, the media-made facade is crumbling a bit, and the losses are imminent. Not tons of them, mind you. Look at Saban, cussing at reporters and hiring dirtbags. He knows he's on borrowed time.

That is a stupid question because:
1. He is Nick Saban
2. He coaches at Alabama where every team every year is made up of players who are the GOAT.

Good troll though

I think Alabama is going to have a down season, by their standards, but I don't see who on the schedule is going to beat them besides maybe LSU and Auburn.

They don't play anyone that good from the East, unless Florida hugely shocks everyone, and despite everyone talking about how good the SEC west is, realistically, who else could challenge Alabama this year?
