It is. Sometimes I wonder if they still get paid for the clicks if they're all coming from website employees.

When's the last time a non-white QB played the full season and won a national title for us?
Yikes. You'll get crickets with this one...

The dude is very good, but a lot of people seem to think he's some generational talent we've never seen before. For reference, he's graded well lower than Bryce Young was, who didn't start his first year.
Nobody on here KNOWS who's going to be the starting QB in 2025. And it's VERY possible that the starter in game 1 won't be the same as mid or late season. Again, Ty will have his supporters and touters, but he's had THREE years to win the job and hasn't yet. Will he be the Mac Jones of 2025, or just another 5-star afterthought? This board and others will have thousands of posts on the topic between now and this time in 2026.

I’m not sure how weve got six pages on this junk thread

I'm not saying he's definitely going to win it, but the people that are using the above as a the reason he won't are just wrong.
2022 freshman, nobody was taking Bryce Young's job.
2023 redshirt freshman, was in the mix to win the job as a rsfr, but wasn't ready, by Saban standards.
2024 redshirt soph, new coach trying to hold together a team in his first year, stuck with the incumbent "heisman hopeful" for continuity.
I wouldn't judge Ty too much on "not winning the job" in those years.

Then there's the case of Jalen Hurts, who won the job over the presumed favorite Blake Barnett. And he did it primarily on the strength of his willpower and composure, which BB had very little of. Those things can't be measured, but were evident by BB's appearance and behavior.
The game 1 starter in 2025 will likely be the guy who has the stones and mental fortitude to handle it. Not necessarily the oldest or fan favorite among the group.

I agree. There are several very obvious trolls who post here constantly trying to stir things up. The OP is definitely one of them.

I don’t see it as a problem, unless he just expects to walk in and be handed the starting position. A young talented guy that wants to come in and earn a starting spot is a damn good thing. Especially as talented as he is

I've never said that. I'd never wish a losing season on bama.

Mac Jones played private prep high school football at a school that has 11 state titles and 5 runner-up finishes. Mac was coached by the all time winningest coach in Florida high school history.
Ty Simpson played football at a scrub high school in a town that has a population of 10k people.
Its different. I don't think Ty is good enough. I just don't. I know there are great players that come from small schools. I get it. But it is the exception to the rule. It matters where these guys played high school ball.
For every Josh Allen who played at a small high school, there are hundreds if not thousands of guys that played big time high school football. The shite matters.

We def have some probs, but him wanting/expecting to start isn’t one. It could become one if ckd lets it become one.
Things are not rainbows and roses in the ckd era yet.

Why was he highly touted and recruited?
Posted on 1/10/25 at 9:46 am to Crimsonpirate23
If Russell is clearly the best quarterback, wins the competition, and DeBoer doesn't play him, plays someone else for any other reason besides he's the best QB, that's when things won't be rainbows and roses with me as far as he's concerned.
One more time: The best QB needs to play. Period. The QB is the most essential cog in DeBoer's offense and we cannot go through what we just went through again.

I will say this again, for what it's worth and people can flame and downvote away if they want to, doesn't matter to me ... I think there are some in our fan base who are awfully invested in Ty being our quarterback to the point where if in the coaching staff's judgment he is not deemed worthy of being the starter, there's going to be hell to pay.
Repeating myself again, I am not invested in or partial to any of the contenders. I want the best QB to play, whoever he is. I don't think any of them has any entitlement to be a favorite for the position, it's on them to earn it and that earning process should start with a completely blank slate and each of them on equal footing.

You keep saying this, but you know as well as the rest of us that it's not true. Ty may be one of the least talked about former 5* backups ever at Bama. I haven't seen a single person acting like he HAS to be the starter. But, I guess when you're mining for offseason clicks, it's a topic that might get some interaction.

That is simply my two cents’ worth based on my impression of the tone of the discussion here. And I stand by it.
And you seem awfully defensive.
Again, if Ty wins the job, I will be 100% in his corner and expecting him to display a lot better QB play than we saw this year.
If he doesn’t win the job, I will appreciate his service and wish him well in his future endeavors, but won’t have a second thought or consider it a loss to the program if he needs to do what he needs to do.
And the same goes for Russell and Mack.
