And you'll tell us how hypothetically if this happened he would be a front runner in the Heisman race.


No I’m saying he’ll be top 5 in the Heisman race in 3 weeks. He would been top 5 already had Proctor not tipped the plays because we would be undefeated and his stat line is really good.

He has to start getting the little things right before we give him that benefit of the doubt. IE: getting the right assistant coaches.


You're assuming that there are better guys out there who would take the job. I don't believe that at all. Dan Enos has been mentioned as a guy who doesn't like Saban at all. He could out coach Rees with half his brain tied behind his back.

Can someone please tell who tf "the troublemakers" are on our team and what trouble they are making? And where this has been reported?


Just ignore them. Anyone who watched those two QBs play on Saturday and still thinks either is better than Jalen at this point, is a stubborn arse that can’t admit when they are wrong. Anyone who thinks Saban is choosing a QB because of “troublemakers bitching” is a retard and doesn’t deserve a response.

Stop with the excuses, he threw the picks himself. He didn't have to throw them or the other bad passes he threw.

So you’ve never played organized football. Got it. No reason to take anything you say seriously anymore,

I don't recall a player ever being suspended without Saban acknowledging that.


Josh Pate said he thinks he was suspended. He’s really connected in Tuscaloosa. Saban also said before the season that he was going to discuss player suspensions anymore with the media.


Discussing suspensions and making an announcement aren't the same thing.

If this had been a thing, Josh Pate wouldn't have been the only source. Players talk, especially on social media.

And so do parents.

Very true. And Pate didn’t say he knew. He said he was convinced. I hope he wasn’t suspended honestly. I hope Saban was trying to figure out who our number two was.

Yep, sure did, never made excuses and I bet Jalen doesn't either. He sure as hell isn't blaming one of his teammates.

Joey Freshwater is going to assrape us... and Saban will still like this team. Pretty sure the players now run the team and make the decisions. They let Saban know how it was going to be after their players only meeting.

Maybe just run the wishbone at this point. At least pick sixes wouldn't beat us.

It’s funny because if you take away one of his picks he likely wins the game and is a top 5 for the Heisman. I swear our fans love to linger on one or two bad plays when the rest of the game the guy was our only offense.

Take away the picks and the racism and he is our guy.

Wait until he finds the zapruder film. Proctor wasn’t blocking the edge because he was holding Milroe’s head and keeping his eyes on his first read for five seconds

Just wait guys, it’s all one big Proctor conspiracy. He’s too large to play quarterback so he’s doing an inside job to take it all down

Can you do that? I'm all for it if you can


I’m tied of beating a dead horse here but yes you can.
Texas was playing 7-7 while we were playing normal football on every single pass play. That definitely contributed to Jalen making a quick(dumb) decision


I'm all for optimism but at this point we know who Milroe is and have to accept... Those weren't fluke ints. He's got tunnel vision and will let it fly. We just get to watch the good ( our guys catch them) the bad (their guys don't catch them) and the ugly ( their guys do catch them). Now, does he give potential to outscore both the opposing offense and defense? . TBD. Right now He is 1 for 2 ( utx and atm) and need a gaff by Jimbo indicating to Arnold where the last play of the ATM game was going...or he would be 0-2 and ...6 combined turnovers?

Milroe ceiling is 9-3
Ty may be better or worse but he is still in the unknown camp however I grant to the milroe lovers that it’s looking like 3-4 losses as well.

Going with milroe is fine just means saban wants a safe 9-3 kinda year

I can't for the life of me get anyone to explain to me exactly why Ty Simpson won the job on Saturday like some people think he did. I am most definitely not sold on Jalen Milroe, but we have to pick a QB going forward as rotating signal callers is never a good idea. Ty Simpson did not wow me on Saturday and Buchner was an absolute train wreck.

No tunnel vision, didn’t turn the ball over, showed the ability to make pre snap adjustments, went through his reads, throws a catchable ball

Average with a high ceiling to grow into, deficiencies are much more fixable (holding the ball a bit long) than Milroe’s

We’re not saying he wowed us as the next Bryce. We just want a QB that isn’t a massive liability against an above average defense

To me he’s more like Mike Vick except he’s right handed, taller, weaker arm, not quite as accurate, and doesn’t run as well.

Marcus Vick maybe, not Michael.
