Can Bama win a title with Jacob Coker?

Follow-up thread from the Score Board . . .
I believe Coker is an average-to-below-average QB for many top-tier SEC teams. He does stare down receivers and NEVER looks off the safety - most of his picks have been deep throws. It doesn't help that is the way Kiffin calls his offense AND that Bama's offensive line this year is not up to previous year's standards.
I think the thing going for him right now is that he is as tough as nails and actually has a decent set of wheels on him - he has some moves and is deceptively fast. He doesn't appear to get down on himself either.
It also doesn't hurt to have have Amari II out there making plays. If Foster had not gotten hurt, he'd be in even better shape.
I'm not sold on him helping Bama win a title, but maybe a good bowl. 10-11 wins will be a success for this team and something to build on for next year.
Your thoughts . . .

Yes. They did it with McElroy and Sims.

No!

We did well with McElroy because he didn't make mistakes. The problem with Coker so far is he's making a lot of mistakes.

If last night's game was against Texas A&M, Alabama probably loses.
Arkansas's offense is tailored made to be stuffed by a Nick Saban defense. You aren't going to out-muscle the Crimson Tide.
But if a team can score a few touchdowns by throwing downfield and Coker starts fricking up, then Alabama will probably lose. See Ole Miss game for an example.

Sure we can.
Coker has played pretty well this year, considering how garbage our Oline has been(besides UGA)
Look at the UGA game first half to see how good Coker is when the Oline is hitting it's assignments.
I honestly thought that Coker sucked pretty bad going into the season, and he has surpassed my expectations. He has hit two pretty deep balls the past two games. Sure, the one last night was to a wide open Ridley but he still had to get it there, and he did.
Also, our run blocking is porous so he doesn't have the luxury of a dominant running game. I am proud of the guy.

10% chance, if that.

With that front 7, they don't need Aaron Rodgers to win SEC west.
Posted on 10/11/15 at 8:41 am to Bham4Tide
Yes... he just got to get better taking care of the ball. No with 1st half Coker, Yes with 2nd half Coker.

You guys can't win one with Kiffin he's your issue

Bama can certainly make the playoff with Coker at QB.
Win it, not sure. In reality, only one SEC team might be able to win it this year.

Bama will probably drop 1 - 2 games down the stretch because of Coker.

Can they? Yes.
I think the offensive line play has been too inconsistent this season for bama, and that is the root from which your offensive problems stem.

Sure. No team in CFB is even close to being elite

I don't think Bama can win National title with COKER but SEC yes!!!!
A one loss team will win the SEC this year!! If a team gets through the SEC title unblemished no doubt that team will win a NC trophy.
After the Bama/ TXAM game, we will be able to have a better idea!! Two totally different styles of FB. Will be a good game to watch.

It's duplicitous of LSU fans to believe the Tigers will run off with the SEC having Harris as QB, and believing Bama will lose "2 or 3" more because of Coker.
Posted on 10/11/15 at 9:51 am to Bham4Tide
they won't even have an opportunity to. They're not making the playoff this year.
Posted on 10/11/15 at 10:06 am to Bham4Tide
No. LSU will go to the SEC championship and Bama won't make the playoff.
Posted on 10/11/15 at 10:11 am to Bham4Tide
No. But more because of the OL than Coker.
The line can't take over a game like our OLs of the past.
And no team has repeated as SECChamps since the 90's
