I just wanted to point something out in the Coker/Cornwell battle

First off, let me say I want Cornwell to win the job. I like Coker, but I really want to see what Cornwell can do on the field for the next 2-3 years.
However, I've seen a lot of people take shots at Coker for there even being a discussion as to who our coaches should select as our starting QB. I assume these people saying this think he should easily have grabbed the job due him being a Senior and Cornwell being a RS Freshman.
I also assume these same people don't realize that Cornwell, not Coker, has been on this team longer. He enrolled early and had access to Alabama coaching and the playbook in the Spring of last year while Coker was still taking classes (over 20 hours) in Tallahassee so he could graduate and transfer.
I guess my point is that it is certainly fine to have your favorite in this race. I do. But don't bash the other guy when he's been on this team for less time, by 5 months no less.

I think Coker would have had a better chance to play in Tallahassee this season.
ETA: Either way, Cornwell will have the chance to win the job next season if he loses out this season.

If Coker hasn't separated himself from Cornwell at this point, Cornwell will almost certainly pass him by the time August rolls around.

I want coker for his running ability. I want cornwell for his arm talent and longevity. But at the end of the day I just want the guy who helps us get wins.

Cornwell is the best QB we have on the roster. He has a cannon and is more accurate than Coker.

Cornwell is obviously not in contention unless they are hiding him. Very few reps and not impressive in those. Happy feet, rushes throws and can't seem to check down.
EDIT: I stand corrected, Cornwell threw 24 passes, completed 12. Roughly the same stats as Coker. It just seemed that #2 O sent a different QB every series.
