I'm torn.

Part of me wants Coker to have his chance. He was good when he played, and he grew up a Bama fan. He transferred here to get his chance. Now of course if he can't earn it, I'm not saying he should have it.

But another part of me wants to go in a younger direction, this would give us the same QB for 2-4 more years, which is ideal.

I'm not counting out Cooper Bateman, I'm a big fan of his, and I think he's talented.

But the two most talented QBs on the roster next season may very well be Cornwell and Barnett.

Now, between them, I'm torn again. Cornwell has that fast release with a cannon, and he CAN move.

Barnett's release needs work (so much so that even if he is an EE, I don't know if it'll be fixed by September), but he is accurate and is a true dual threat.

I'm fine with Coker/Bateman/Cornwell/Barnett. Any of them will work, they're all good imo.

Unless Barnett catches onto the PB extremely fast and dominates practices, he'll probably RS like all other QBs under Saban.

Some of the throws Coker made this year were beautiful. I have no doubt that he will be the starter this upcoming year tbh.

Wouldn't this likely happen even if Coker gets the start and Cornwell/Barnett win the job the following year (unless one of them explodes into NFL type prospect right off the bat)?
