Do you just read random posts and ignore others?

Buchner clearly wasn't the answer but now that you mention it, Saban obviously wasn't convinced Milroe and Simpson were ready or he'd not have hit the transfer portal for a qb. He just chose the wrong transfer. As for Simpson, he apparently was getting 3rd team snaps up till that point, behind Milroe and Buchner, so probably zero with the first team in game prep. If Milroe can improve, I suppose Simpson can too. But as previously noted, practice observers were pretty often impressed with Lonergan.

I was replying to your post from 7:55. You replied while I was typing. Look at the times, 8:26 and 8:32.

But since we are chatting, let’s chat about this.

Do you think Alabama can just pick whoever they want out of the portal?

They went after Sam Hartman, the top ranked transfer QB, hard. He told them no because Alabama already had a whole roster of highly rated quarterbacks and Hartman was not guaranteed the starting job.

If Rees had not been Alabama’s new OC, there is zero chance Alabama would have signed Buchner.

You seem to be a fan of Rees. I am not, just based on what we saw last year. You also seem to be a fan of Simpson. I am too, he is an Alabama player. I just believe that if he were better than Milroe he would be the starter.

Second string quarterbacks are always very popular though.
