Probably enough to win the West and possibly the SEC given our OL and RBs will likely be much better than past couple seasons. If we can win the conference we should be able to win it all.

Ultimately we will need one of Simpson/Milroe/Buch to develop over summer/season for us to be able to play dominant offense. Will take some help from WRs and TEs to not drop a ton of passes, killing multiple drives

Hot garbage? Do you actually know anything about football


You yourself, just a few threads over, said you couldn’t win at the highest level throwing for only 200 yards per game. You indicated that those were garbage numbers now days. That you had to have more production from the quarterback to win. That thread is now into it’s second page of arguing, and you have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled down on your original statement.

And now you are gloating over THIS stat line. Claiming that it is good? Trying to bludgeon me over the head about my lack of football knowledge because I don’t recognize the historic greatness of Jayden Daniels that night?

You need to close this tab; open another one; and search “how to improve self awareness.”.

So, I know that. I also know that, on this very site, there were a large number of fans ranting up and down that LSU needed a new quarterback after the FSU loss. It sounded like it was even worse over on the tigerdroppings board. So, I know that too. See, I know a lot about football.

I asked a question about the Bama QB situation and multiple people here bring up Brian Kelly and LSU. Typical.


In a thread about Alabama started by an LSU fan.

Bringing in Buchner basically confirms everyone's doubt around the QB room. What do you think you'll get from the QB position in 2023 and who will that guy be?

Saban has said many times that he won't go after a transfer unless he thinks that player will start.
It's pretty obvious that they're going after Buchner because of his connection to Rees, and the fact that all of the QBs on the roster currently are underwhelming.

At this point I'm hoping that Buchner is good enough to beat out Milroe, and that he doesn't completely suck arse, but I think this upcoming season might be the worst since Saban's first season at Alabama, and the end of the dynasty.

I'm going to defend Sidewalk for a minute.

The guy lives on this board (365/24/7) he posts so much there's no way he can keep track of what he spews. He runs around from thread to thread like a cat busy covering up shite in a dozen litter boxes.

Partially correct, I said you can't win a national championship with a pocket passer who throws for 200 yards, 1.5 touchdowns, and .5 interceptions per game.

And LSU didn't win a national championship last year, did they?

Now you're building strawmen arguments.

I simply said he wasn't "hot garbage."

Okay?

So your stance is that if some LSU fans say it, then it must be true?

Interesting.

The funny thing is that people make comments like these but no one can actually point out anything I've said that isn't true.

So am I "spewing shite" or can you just not handle the truth?

I think the guy is going to be Buchner and he'll be a glorified game manager. He'll throw the ball around enough to keep defenses honest but I don't expect big numbers. I think the defense and running game will be good enough to take the pressure off. This team is shaping up to be a throw back to Saban's early years which suits me fine.

So you are inferring that LSU fans are often wrong around here. Fair enough. But wait, you are an LSU fan…

Most posters on this board are wrong quite a bit.

I couldn’t care less as long as I see Bama football that looks like Bama football. The quarterback should not be the end all be all. He should be a distributor, not the offense.
On first and goal at the 5 I don’t need 3 passing plays. We threw the ball like 24 times against k state. The players were comfortable, Saban was comfortable and it showed. Throwing it 60 times is not the Bama way.

I’m much more concerned with who our o line and d line starters will be. We needed that out of the portal more than a qb who will probably never see the field.

You were pretty balanced last year.

Honestly?

I’m definitely less worried about it than fans of other teams are desperately hoping I am.
