He did just fine in this game, especially for it being his first start.

He didn't do great, but really the whole offense was stagnant and just didn't have the ball hardly at all in the second half. Some drives were also killed by drops.

Obviously he helped saved our arse at the end.

Meh, sure he threw a few bad picks, but you can't really say that he played bad in this game when you look at the whole picture.

Again, our whole offense played bad. Running game was awful. And Blake was responsible for both of our TDs in this game.

People forget how much Amari bailed him out at times.

This argument sucks.

If Deandrew White catches the ball that hits him in the chest on 3rd and 7 towards the end of the 1st half, Ohio St wouldn't have had enough time to score right before half at least. And ohio St wouldn't have had as much confidence the rest of the game. I think that one drop changed that entire game for the worst for Alabama

West Virginia there wasn't a single pass over 20 yards. All screens and quick slants. He didn't do too bad, but neither did Coker in game 1 and yet OP can't handle it.

LSU he did well enough at the end to have a comeback win, but he performed poorly enough in the first 3 quarters that a comeback win was necessary.

Auburn, he was threatened with the bench late in the game. Anytime you're threatened to be benched for the next guy in a close game, I believe saying you "played bad" is perfectly acceptable.

Arkansas, sure there were a couple drops. There was also plenty of passes that I'm still not sure where he was throwing it. I'll give you that he got both TDs with his legs, but he was inept with his arm.

I'm sorry you don't want to accept the fact that Amari was a huge reason Blake had the stats he did last year. There's a reason Amari was on the heisman finalist ballot and Blake is struggling to make a Canadian roster.

I know that's not what people want to hear because some people only want sunshine pumper and can't handle criticism of our players, but that's the way it was last year. The film is there, feel free to watch it again.

As for his year, Coker and Bateman both need to improve, but I do believe Coker is ahead and will stay ahead. Forcing him to throw when we should be running to set up the pass, and having both of them throw screen after screen is not the best way to go about this though IMO.

Then again I'm just a fan like yall. I don't make the calls. I just love me some bama football
