re: Blake Barnett blaming Saban for his reputation

I can't help but notice Barnett does survey the field and not just look at his first option. Had he stayed I can't help but wonder if he had grown during the year could Bama have won a NC with him because he is a far SUPERIOR passer to Hurts. It's not even close.

Exactly. It's a tough call though, because whoever the coaches chose, the other guy was likely to transfer.
I definitely like our chances late in the season with an experienced Barnett at QB, and Bo running like a monster.

I say all that, but I'm a huge Jalen fan. IF he improves as a passer in year 2, we've got ourselves a true weapon. If he doesn't, we've got ourselves a true mess - even worse if Barnett starts looking like Joe Montana at ASU.
