re: Bama’s thoughts on their QB room?

Buchner didn't transfer to become a depth piece. I think he will be the starter in Week 1.

I’m sure none of the guys on the roster “plan” to be long term developmental guys.

There is a massive sorting process going on right now and multiple QBs will transfer eventually once a starter takes control. It’s the nature of NIL era QB roster management which is a shame given how patience worked out for Mac Jones. That guy sat behind two other NFL starters and had an all-time senior season that sent him into the NFL as a 1st rd QB.

Also keep in mind that Julian Sayin is arriving next year. Guy has a Bryce/Tua pedigree (e11 winner, 5*, top 10 overall recruit, etc) and will likely push for a spot by the end of his freshmen year if the position is still unsettled at that point and cause more movement.
