It's possible. Saban has finally taken enough notice of his performance to actually call him by his correct name, so that's a sign of something.

Also, if he starts, it will be a clear sign that Saban thinks this D is legit and just wants a QB to do "enough" and not hurt the team. If the QB play is simply adequate, then Bama is going to have a great year. If the QB throws multiple INTs in a game and/or puts the opposing O in scoring position through mistakes (see AJ in 2011 against LSU), then they could drop a game they shouldn't.
