Who will Lane pick as his QB for next year?

According to Us

Rank | Name | Avg Order

1. Jacob Coker (1.37)
2. Cooper Bateman (2.74)
3. David Cornwell (2.78)
4. Alec Morris (3.61)
5. Blake Barnett (4.35)

Unless Blake Barnett come in and sets the world on fire, I don't see how it isn't Coker.

Come on man you know its going to be Coker.

I don't really agree with the whole "Coker couldn't beat out Sims" thing. Saban likes seniority and dedication. Sims was years ahead (Literally) of Coker on both. And not to downplay Sims' talent. He's an amazing athlete. Starting Coker with a single off season to learn the playbook, system, and players could have been catastrophic. Plus it plays a big part in a player's ability to be a leader. You've got to start the guy who knows the players and the system like the back of his hand. That's how Sims lead the drive at LSU, that's how he bounced back in the Iron Bowl, and that's how he gave us a 12 win season.

I think Coker possessed more raw talent, but Sims hands down knew everything about his team, the playbook, and what it took to lead the team.

That being said, yes. Coker will probably start. If he can fix his stiffness and release, he will be stellar.

We are gonna be surprised with Barnett starting. Beast

Blake looks like he has a lot of work to do on his throwing mechanics before he is ready to play in the most competive division in sports.

I hope he takes a redshirt and learns the playbook/process. I've also heard he is a cocky sonvabitch. Not a huge problem, but not great to hear from our frosh QB. Hope he can adopt a lot of Sims personality. BS was an absolutely incredible leader. The team would have caught a bullet for him. If Blake tunes up his throwing motion and gets his head on straight, I think we may have something special. We'll see.

AJ McCarron was not exactly humble either

AJ was a gigantic douche bag. I've heard right from players mouths they didn't like playing for him. Blake is still green as hell. I'd prefer him to be a little more humble (then apparently he is, I have no first hand interactions with him.) im fine with some cockiness and moxie from my Q, but earn that shite. Being a 5* from Cali isn't earning it. Like I said, we'll see.

This doesn't surprise me. The whole team looked depressed through the 2013 season, LSU game aside. During every big game except for the West Virginia and Arkansas games this year, they looked ecstatic.
