So you're not worried one bit about a guy that was unable to start once in his college career taking reins at Alabama
I for one am pretty concerned. You need at least above average QB play to win championships in college football now. Coker doesn't have to be great, but he needs to be good for Bama to reach a goal of SEC championship / national championship.
quote:
in game one against a very potent WVU air raid offense? An offense Saban is down right terrible with scheming against. It's likely to be a shoot out, and you better prey Coker is up to the task.
You lost me here though. First, Saban's defenses aren't "terrible" against any offenses. There have been the occasional bad games, but they are fewer and farther apart than pretty much any defense in college football the last 6 years.
As for WVU, you think Bama is going to need Coker to win a shoot out against WVU? I think that is highly unlikely. I don't think WVU has a chance in hell at slowing down Bama running the ball in this game. Bama will dominate TOP and win this one by at least two TDs without needing much from Coker in my opinion.
There will be a few games where Coker is going to need to shine because teams will slow down Alabama's running game. The WVU game won't be one of them.

I'm turning this question back on the SECr. When will you make up your mind on if AJ was just another game manager that will be easily replaced, or if Bama will suffer because AJ isn't under center?
Seems to be a common theme around here.
Your players "aren't that good" until they leave and then they are treated as crucial cogs to your system that just can't possibly be replaced within a season.

Im not sure why game manager and crucial cog are considered mutually exclusive

Crucial cog implies that it will be difficult to replace. Game manager or system qbs are not hard to replace so long as the rest of the system remains in tact. Was is hard for Bama to replace JPW? McElroy?

Not necessarily.

You replaced them with similar counterparts as far as what they do. You dont always have that, and sometimes can be difficult, especially in the QB position

Several earlier posters commented that the OL will not be strong again this yr. A serious question: with the #1 recruiting classes the past 2 seasons, i am sure Nicky recruited 5 star studs on the OL, as running the ball is his game. So...why is the OL supposed to be a weak point again this yr?
