You are right that 1st year QB's at Alabama have had unbelievable success. Saban has broken in 4 so far, and all of them have won either a SEC title, a national title or both.
What we also know is Saban almost always goes with the older guys who can manage the offense. Which means Bateman as a RS Junior is the guy to beat. Cornwell is pushing him which is good. The two young guys--Barnett and Hurts--are studs and true duel-threat guys but likely aren't ready to manage the offense as well as an older guy like Bateman or Cornwell. I sort of expect to see a couple of guys get chances in the first couple of weeks.
