Y’all are hilarious. An NFL offensive line and five star running backs and receivers. That QB will open things up with his legs.

I don’t know if he’ll have the arm to have a real air threat, but Alabama like every year will at worst lose 2 games, and those losses will be close.

We'll see. Whoever the QB is will not be asked to do what the last 3 QB's were asked to do as the change in offensive philosophy is on us.

People think this is still BOB's offense. it isn't.

I think that’s a little absurd. I do think 9-3 is a real possibility. With the talent they have, I still think 8-4 is the absolute worse, and that’s even without having a steady QB and playing musical chairs with their QB’s.



I'm in the camp of us falling somewhere between 8-4 and a national championship

I’ve heard some Bama writers say this is more a disappointment that Simpson and Buchner haven’t gotten better and taken the job.

This is the typical “if you have 3 QBs you have none” argument. They are in trouble.

I haven't followed it that closely. I feel like if Buchner had been there all offseason maybe you could sell the "they are both good and its just tough to pick" narrative. But based on him coming in when he did, seems like nobody has really gotten ahold of the job.

But I do feel like Simpson is the type of player who might take the job by the horns once its a live game if that makes sense. Hes a good improviser and seems to be a good leader.

We are two or three injuries away from that record any given season. Anyone who says otherwise about any great program, is foolish

I don’t really ageee.

I think Milroe is going to be tough. I’m no more an expert or prognosticator than the folks that post ill about the kid just to waste a post.

He’s a good athlete and a dual threat. They have talent at skill positions so he will be fine.

Not necessary. He won't be around when UA/LSU play.

Alabama has never had a team that could beat ANY NFL team.................period.

these are 19 and 20 year old young men. You really think they could overcome an NFL defensive front? That statement in itself is dumb.

There has never been any college team, and that include's LSU, that could win an NFL game.

If he can protect the ball Bama Is probably going back to a 2016/2017 type of squad with Hurts as a true freshman.

Run the ball, control line of scrimmage, utilize QB’s athleticism off of it. The guy has extremely good running ability. He looks like a horse. If Bama goes back to playing their defense this season they will probably go 11-1 with him under center.

"The Chicago Charities College All-Star Game was a preseason American football game played from 1934 to 1976 between the National Football League (NFL) champions and a team of star college seniors from the previous year. It was also known as the College All-Star Football Classic.[1]

The game was contested annually — except for 1974, due to that year's NFL strike — and was played in July, August, or September. In the 42 College All-Star Games, the defending pro champions won 31, the All-Stars won nine, and two were ties, giving the collegians a .238 winning percentage."

Milroe could run the wildcat all year, and they’re not losing 5 regular season.

9-3 is the basement. Saban has always adjusted well.

an experienced starter in line with the McElroy, McCarron and Coker types who doesn't impress in anyway but manages to not frick the game up


A. He's barely more experienced than Milroe
B. Dude threw 5 picks in 3 starts last year. He will absolutely frick the game up and his play is the main reason Notre Dame lost to Marshall last year. Notre Dame improved when he got hurt last year. I don't see this guy starting for Bama. I'd take my chances with Milroe's legs.
