That doesn't do a lot to excite me. Saban made it pretty clear that Burton is the #1. But I have no idea what kind of playmaker he will he for us. The fact that none of the other guys were able to outperform him in the spring and summer isn't promising in terms of their development. Brooks and Earle have been inconsistent.

You'll get murdered on this board for posting anything that isn't unicorns and rainbows but I get what you're saying. I will say that I'm higher on Burton than you seem to be. I really think he's every bit as good as Metchie was. He'll be legit. Beyond that, things are a little concerning. No proven playmakers who have done it consistently. Brooks has potential but last year he'd make a big play and disappear for stretches (was non-existent in the natty when we needed a WR to step up). Jojo just hasn't impressed me. Seems to drop the ball too much and I haven't seen the speed or shiftiness that he was rumored to posses. Holden is basically a big/slowish possession guy. Leary looks promising but has hardly played. Hilton hasn't been super impressive thus far. Alot of questions to be answered after Burton. We need some of the new guys to shine.
