re: Who do you want for QB1?

Simpson didn't look any better than the two freshmen or Milroe IMO. I thought that he looked mediocre as hell. But a lot of people disagree with that, so maybe I'm wrong.

You're not wrong, Simpson did nothing to to show he's the guy right now and both Milroe and Simpson made too many mistakes.

I'm not pulling for any particular guy but I trust Saban to find the right guy. Most likely we won't know til mid to late September who is really the best for us this year.

like what Josh Pate said about the QB room for Bama. It may not have a Heisman trophy winner in it this year but it doesn't have to with the talent surround the position

I honestly think it will depend on the offense Bama rolls with this year. If they go back to the run heavy offense I think Milroe is the guy because he puts you in that plus 1 where if everyone blocks there man he just has to make someone miss. If they’re going to stick with a 50-50 pass run offense Simpson or if this transfer is any good.

(A copy of a post I made in another thread. Appears to be more appropriate here.)

IMO, Buchner is the best of the Bama QBs.

He's tough mentally and physically, is a good athlete with a live body and good speed and some agility. His arm is adequate and accuracy decent. He is already far ahead of JM and TS in reading defenses. He is a definite upgrade.

My understanding is that the coaching staff does not think that JM or TS are currently capable of leading this offense. Lonergan is their current favorite but of course is a true Fr. who is also not quite ready but might be the best bet if not for TB.

The A-Day game is one of the least important practices of the spring - almost meaningless. Most fans read WAY too much into a "scripted for effect" practice. The coaches have seen these QBs for 15 real practices and know help is needed. As f2s says, TB's not coming as a backup.

I would be surprised if TB does not win the job this Fall and think he has real promise. Nothing like Tua, Mac or Bryce but possibly adequate if the other parts of the team are what they think.

IMO, the primary problem with this program the last couple of years was not the coordinators, though they didn't help, especially DC, but the mental and physical softness that had descended upon the program. That's on CNS, the greatest of all time, but his ability to adapt led him to over adapt towards finesse and his program became sickeningly soft, especially mentally.

CNS seems to have addressed it with the coordinator hires, but it remains to be seen. Alabama needs to knock some jocks off and like it - not curl up in a ball "stressed" as they did occasionally during tough times. Bryce's ability masked a lot, though anyone with eyes could see that "Alabama" no longer existed. One dimensional AU ran the ball down their throat. TB is tough and seemingly has enough real talent.

Legitimate hope that he's Coker on steroids: much faster, much quicker, much more compact and quick delivery, not quite as accurate, not as big, just as tough, probably smarter.

If they can get by Texas, of which they are capable, they could run the regular season table and have a mountain of momentum heading into the post season as the new/old Alabama.

Milroe. He is an incredible athlete and, like with Jalen Hurts, we can work on the passing skills. There is a reason that Hurts just got a huge contract and Anthony Richardson got drafted 4th. Supreme athletes win.

Whoever develops the most between now and game 1 to win the job and lead the team.

This is the right answer.

All of our options aren't good right now.

Never draft a QB project in the first round.

What did Anthony Richardson win at Florida?

I thought that Milroe made several great passes in the spring game. There was one to Law or Bond on the sideline that was a godamn 30 yard rope. And of course the touchdown passes. Sure he needs to limit the dangerous passes, but man he can be a dominant player if he gets it together.
