Dude better be the real deal. Watched some more of the Bama spring game and holy hell the Qb situation is abysmal. Hard to believe it is so bad the way Bama has recruited.

IMO, it will be either Blake Sims or Cooper Bateman. Jacob Coker will have to adjust quickly, and I've never seen him do anything special...anything that Blake Sims or Cooper Bateman can't do.

Indeed. We hope he's the real deal....hell even if he's not he'll be the starter...

Saban said "BLAKE" more times than I can count.

Just an observation.

We get it. Our QBs suck. I laughed when i saw that performance yesterday by Sims. Then I cried a little bit when I realized he's not a true freshman, b/c that's what he played like.

Bateman didn't look terrible...but yeah, not where it needs to be at all...It will come down to Bateman and Coker....maybe with some special packages for Sims. Bama will win next year like they have in the past,,,,defense, run game, with a game manager QB. Still have outstanding skill players like Coop and OJ.....

It's pretty obvious to me now....Sims in live action is AWFUL. He'll never get it....he isn't a QB.

Of course people get better, but Jacob Coker will have to show he knows the playbook and he will also have to adjust quickly to what Alabama expects. Blake Sims and Cooper Bateman have been there and know these things. And unless Jacob Coker comes in and has a Nick Marshall type impact (I use him as an example because he arrived in summer as well), I don't see it happening.

Again, I am basing this off Jacob Coker not showing anything that Blake Sims and Cooper Bateman have shown.

There's pretty much no way it isn't Coker barring some crazy injury or circumstance. He was leaving FSU to start somewhere. Theres no way he would come to Bama to be a backup when he could go start somewhere.

Saban would never just outright give him the job before he even got here but you know he had to have said something to imply that it's certainly all but his if he works his arse off

Blake Sims has shown that he will never be the starting qb and Bateman is just too young

It could always be worse... You could have Kiehl Frazier or Clint Moseley...

I understand where you're coming from but he has tools the other guys don't. Those tools will win him the starting job. Yes he will struggle with the plays at first but he's a smart kid and will get it figured out. Coker for president and stuff....

Sure are a lot of Boogs interested in the Alabama Spring game. Did they have a rodeo instead of a football game in Barnerville yesterday?

I highly doubt both Nick Saban and Kirby Smart would personally travel to Coker's house for an in-home visit with him if they didn't think he could start right away.

Phil Savage, a former NFL GM and current color man for Alabama football broadcasts, was on the radio yesterday and said he's heard from many reliable people that Coker is indeed the real deal and personally guaranteed he'd be the starter going into West Virginia.

What tools? I know he has some size that nobody at Alabama currently has, I know he has speed but so does Blake Sims... I know he has a strong arm, but I've yet to see much accuracy...

I can agree with this. He had a pretty good GPA in high school and is about to graduate from Florida State.
