We've won 3 straight SEC championships, each with a new starting QB.

How many more should we have won?

Why can't we develop QB's better? Why do we have to break in a new one just about every year?

I would say that McCarron was pretty well developed. In fact, considering that Blake Sims was a career utility player and Coker was a career backup, it was probably a pretty good job by Kiffin to develop them into SEC title winners, ncaa title contenders, and record breaking offenses.

So in retrospect, considering the number of wins, number of titles, and number of offensive record breaking seasons, Saban's coordinators and qb coaches must have been pretty good at developing and scheming around the abilities of the qbs.

Looking ahead, Sarkisian, not Kiffin, was the qb coach for those great USC teams, so I hope he's even better at developing qbs. We'll see about that, though realistically, this may be the best Hurts ever is, regardless who is coaching him. I don't think that's the case, I just know that's a possibility. I am cautiously optimistic.

Holy shite who let the Bammer in here.

Hurts was a freshman and I don't care how much practice and playing time he had, he was still a true freshman.

Have we really reached the point where people are unhappy with Sabans development of players?

The kid will probably improve. If not, next year we may lose two games.
