Are you telling me that Saban isn’t excited about this kid and his potential to start as a freshman, and that he sees Bryce Young only in the capacity of providing depth behind Mac Jones?
If that’s what you people are saying, then you’re the stupid ones here.
Unlike y’all, Saban isn’t an idiot. He saw Trevor Lawrence as a freshman, he saw Tua as a freshman, he saw Jake Fromm as a freshman rip his defense to shreds.
If you don’t think Saban is thinking Bryce Young could be a guy like that, you don’t get it.
I don't know what Saban is thinking, I just know he didn't say what you claim in the OP.

I wonder how much was donated for him to get a spot on the team.

Saban is at least considering the possibility, and it’s clear he loves talking about Bryce Young. If you can read people at all, you can tell he gets a warm feeling and starts smiling when talking about Bryce Young. He’s super high on the kid. I’m sure Sark is too. He’s the highest rated QB Saban has ever signed.
He’s the first thing he brings up when asked about the class.
People act like this is some outlandish prediction.
“Oh my god you think the best dual-threat high school QB in the country can just walk in and start as a freshman over a returning 3-star!?”
Yes, I do. And many other people do as well - including Saban.

If Bryce steps on BDS field for spring ball and plays like he has a Superman cape on, he's going to get a cold, hard, fair look with Saban. But I don't think Mac Jones is near as incompetent on gameday as Blake Barnett, so he is going to have to be Tua like in everything he does. Even then, trust is a big, big word at starting QB.

The All-Impact Team: 2020 recruits who will play right away (247Sports)
quote:
247Sports put together its "All-Impact Team" for the 2020 class. The 24-player unit (11 offensive players, 11 defensive players, two special teams) doesn't necessarily include the most talented players this cycle. Instead, it spotlights the prospects with the best combination of ready-to-play skill and depth chart opportunity.
QUARTERBACK
Bryce Young, Alabama
247Sports Composite: No. 2
There is no more ready-to-play quarterback this cycle than Young. Young may be slender-framed (5-foot-11, 183 pounds), but his ability to read defenses, feel pressure within the pocket and deliver throws from different platforms and angles is special. He’s experienced, too. Young has put up record-setting numbers at Mater Dei High School, which plays one of the toughest schedules in the country. Young is instantly the most talented QB on Alabama’s roster. Mac Jones waited his turn in Tuscaloosa and played well in Tagovailoa’s absence late in the season. But he’s not BY. Don’t be surprised if Young is starting Week 1 against USC, a school Young was committed to for much of his recruitment.

What they're saying about 5-star QB Bryce Young (247Sports)
quote:
Turn on the tape and you see the potential of Bryce Young, dual-threat quarterback who has already mastered much of what will be expected of him at one of college football's elite programs. His athleticism and poise as the nation's top-ranked player jumps off the film and Alabama's coaching staff can't wait to see what he's got.
“I just absolutely love the guy,” Nick Saban said of Young during the early signing period. “I love his character. He’s got a great family. He’s got all the right stuff, and I think that’s really important in the quarterback position. You’ve heard me say this many times before: if you play quarterback, it’s hard to play the position if the people around you don’t play well, so having great leadership qualities can contribute to that. I think Bryce certainly possesses those qualities.”
A natural successor to Tua Tagovailoa, Young comes to Tuscaloosa with playing early on his mind. “Off the field I try my best to push myself to be perfect,” Young told 247Sports. “On the football field, for me, it’s kind of about letting go. I’ve played a lot with faith. I’m trying to trust God, what I’ve done, and my decisions. I try to play free and relaxed, without holding onto anything.”
Here's what they're saying nationally about the gem of Alabama's 2020 recruiting class... (more)

Identifying the top 10 playmakers in the 2020 class (247Sports)
quote:
1. Alabama Quarterback Bryce Young
Pound for pound, there wasn’t a better football player in high school football than Bryce Young. In fact, there really wasn't a better player regardless of stature or qualifier than Young, who finished No. 1 in the To247. In his career at Mater Dei, Young threw for 13,250 yards and 152 touchdown passes while rushing for 26 of them. His senior year was one to remember. Young threw for a career-best 4,528 yards with 58 TD passes to just six interceptions and ran for 10 TDs. He left his mark on football in the Golden State for years to come.

Except this isn't what you said in the OP
"Could be the guy" and "will start at QB" are not the same thing. He absolutely could be the guy.

Umm we have a returning fourth year junior with game experience, 2 sophomores, and he says the greatest position of need on the entire team was Quarterback, and starts lowkey gushing about Bryce Young?
If you can’t read between the lines, then you either don’t know Saban, or you’re “fricking stupid”

Of course he thinks that but that is long way from saying he will start
Everyone thought Blake Barnett could be the guy and we saw how that turned out.

Not everyone thought that, and apparently Saban didn't. However, many thought Tua could be the guy and we saw how that turned out. I could be wrong, but Mac Jones seems more comparable to Barnett than to Tua, while Young seems more comparable to Tua than to Barnett. Saban might not even announce a QB1/starter for the season opener vs USC.

It will be an “ongoing competition” for depth purposes
