Okay, if you want to be pedantic about it, sure, he had a handful of nice deep shots over the course of 15 games. However, he was not consistent enough to force any defense to respect those routes.
How many QBs out there are connecting with many deep balls...especially with no running game that forces safeties into the box? How many cover 1 or cover 0 looks did Ty get...where he also got time? Id wager it being either zero or close to it

Agreed, I guess this shows the lack of confidence in Mack to get it done against high level competition.
I spent last year demanding Milroe be benched. He was horrible and cost us a CFP birth.
The entire time the coaches were watching Ty who himself said he wasn't ready last year.
I agree that given a quality alternative Ty should've been benched down the stretch. Was Keelon ready as a TF? He couldn't even beat out Austin.
Was Austin ready? Dude was sending rockets into the grass on throws to the flat against E IL and IU. He looked like Joe Milton to me in the snaps I've seen and I dont mean that as a complement.
Bottom line Im not convinced we had a replacement ready to roll and the coaches probably figured if Ty could get a little healthier he gave us our best shot to continue to win as we were a top 5 team until the loss against OU.

Did you watch any games last year?
After UGA exposed us that second half most teams played their safeties so far inside the box we usually could see all 11 defenders every 1st and 2nd down and sometimes 3rd.

You're wasting your time man. A lot of posters on here may watch games religiously but they have no idea what they're actually seeing.

That's true Scotty. Look at Carson Beck. He's not great at the deep ball either. In the game against Ole Miss, he had the receiver wide open, all day to throw, and still almost missed it on an underthrow.
I seemed to recall him doing the same thing against us in 2024.

Mad respect for his toughness but why was he playing? Sorry but there is toughness and then there is stupidity.
I am not saying Mack was better or worse but damn, At what point does a coach not step in and say, “son, you’re a tough son of bitch, but you’re not helping your team.”
It would be shortly thereafter said coach grew a pair of balls and acted like a leader. Apparently, we don't have anyone like that on our staff.

We typically don’t see 11 players on the field ? How do they hide? Are they ghosts?

Dew wut now ?
Teams played two-high / split safeties against us all season because they could contain our running game with their front 7.
The split safeties were able to divide the field, and make any read to either side hard AF for the QB, and no room to fit the ball.
Basically the complete and total lack of a run game made Bama one dimensional before the game even started, and it took a herculean effort from Ty before he apparently fell apart physically to move the chains.
Its no wonder he was having to adjust the offense and reads and getting the snaps off with 1 second all year long - defenses were able to dictate everything Bama did offensively instead of Bama being able to impose their gameplan. The damn OL's sitting their squatted for half a minute before every snap etc. just a total dumpster fire of an offense.
I'll say it again, Wommack did a better job with his side of the ball than DeBoer and Grubb did with theirs. The guy was called an offensive guru and yet this is the worst two years of offense in a quarter century.
Want to know why ? Because his offense is already antiquated and should have died along with the PAC12.

What those numbers tell me is Saban came in and rebuilt the offense from scratch. Eventually he adopted LK passing concepts into the base offense and became a top 5 offense perennially with elite OLs and QB evals outside of Hurts who struggled.
What I see with the end of the Saban era and the beginning of DeBoer is that there were horrible evals at OL and QB resulting in us having to start a guy who wasn’t ready and then wasn’t a fit for the new air raid scheme.
Then this year despite a garbage OL that made playcalling limited we were a top 5 offense the first half of the year until the injuries hit and we dropped just out of the top 10.
We’re rebuilding the OL and have two solid options at QB. I believe if we fix the IOL the offense is going to look night and day different next year particularly with more verticality to the offense which will stress the safeties and open up the run game.

Yea the safeties weren’t in the box all game. Most plays looking back through the Indiana game highlights (more like lowlights for us) the safeties are generally 11 yards off the LOS or deeper. Being In the box is technically considered inside 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. I hardly seen any of that the 4th and 1 was one of the only ones I noticed in the first halve they had one safety in the box. Most plays had a two high safety and I’m pretty sure Kirk even said the same thing.
Also I don’t know how much football ystar has watched in his life but you can pretty much always see the safeties pre snap in any game from any team. Pull up any game and pre snap you might be missing a boundary corner but it shows about 20 yards past the LOS.

Unless medical reports coming back Ty Simpson will be QB2 more than likely.

Get outta here with your facts, bro. You're gonna make some of these trolls hurt their backs when they have to keep moving those goalposts.

Yep. He was likely going to Steelers at 21 now going much earlier to a shite team.

That’s why I said a few weeks ago, this portal exit was good. It flushes out the bad portal recruitment grabs and the last of the flops while DeBoer gets to shape the team to be his.

Ive seen a strong rumor the Rams guaranteed they would pick him with 1 of their 2 firsts. Would be a perfect fit imo. Gives him a year or 2 to sit behind Stafford, and he would fit the system really well imo.

Some folks tried to tell yall he was injured since the Missouri game.
“Muh deep ball opens up the run game and Ty sucks”
You can question the coaches and trainers all you want, I guess, for letting him play?
You have guy who “waited for his turn”, was a Team Captain, and is eschewing a certain NIL paycheck to go NFL because he’s absolutely a Gump who is Too Full Of BAMA. You are going to sit that guy after riding int LANK for a full season? Are you shitting me?
He’s the best QB we’ve had on the roster since Rees was hired at OC. Was also the baby with Milroe and Fuchner on the roster.
I think half the clowns ho post here are slUT alters. RMFT
ETA: 5 star SABAN recruit. Stays wilh the program through transition. Has offers to work for 8 months in Oxford and Knoxville for $4MM-$5MM as a 23 year old. Can work in Miami, where there’s no state income tax, for $6.5MM a year.
Most likely had better offers than he just made in 2025 at Alabama.
His family isn’t lying about talking to 18 NFL teams.
I was told we wanted these type dudes at Alabama

You got down voted to hell, (for whatever that’s worth)…but you’re exactly right. Anyone in leadership would tell you, it isn’t that guys place to pull himself. As a leader or coach you make that call.

What you see is the talent slowly get weaker with a poor S&C program
