No duh Funky. Everything is speculation from everybody or wild arse guesses until the games are played and we have more info, but even at that point, we are still guessing....your last two games last year are proof of that.

I'm sorry, I must have missed the whole 2014 season where everyone was able to watch Coker and Sims play and come to a conclusion about how good they are? If anyone can link a youtube or two of some of the games from 2014, I would be so fricking appreciative. Thanks.



What the hell are you talking about?

You don't think it is a little ridiculous that a guy who hasn't played was ranked 4th in the SEC by media, and now he may not be the starter?

Gotta give it to Saban, he gets kids who won't start 1st round ratings, running backs of the kind we see every year the Heisman, simply good QBs Heisman invites, etc.



Yep, and he takes all of these overrated players and wins more games games and championships than anyone else. Gotta give it to him indeed.

They're good players, they're just not necessarily worthy of the recognition they receive.

As someone else mentioned, he's been on heisman lists and pre season award lists in various media outlets.

You can be a homer and still recognize it is pretty silly.

We've had players walk away from Bama with three national championship rings on their hand ~ You don't think they were worthy of the recognition they received? WTF do they have to accomplish to be "worthy" in your eyes?

I get it, you're pissed at the media/talking heads/dumbass sports journalists/football guru's in the various media outlets.

Ok, poll the board on Ingram and McCarron. We'll broaden the base.

People forget who the QB coach at FSU is: Randy Sanders VFL and coach for years with Phil and the gang. He sucked as OC here but he was a great QB coach but I can't see him helping Bama. And he was one of the first to start hyping Coker as fantastic.

That said, from what I've seen Coker does have some talent it's just not all there yet.

Not really. The only real basis I would have for being pissed would be McCarron being ahead of Mason, but I really don't care about who finishes in what place for the Heisman.

The media inflates Alabama. Alabama is worthy as a program, and some of the players are too. The players are good, so stop acting like I'm taking something away from them by noting that they're frequently given accolades by the media that reality does support in the long run.

Well shite, let's just take Alabama fans' opinion on Alabama as the definitive answer then. Seems like that's the only fair way to do it, right?
