Coker passes the eye test. He's been cut from the prototypical QB mold. However, all of this hype is based off of one coach's comment. A coach trying to get a kid a shot on another team. Throw in the fact that he's now being coached by a guy that's never coached QBs. It's going to really interesting to follow this fall.

It is possible to have a good/great team with a first year starter behind center.

Do you attribute this to Coker or other factors?

I'd be happy with ten wins in the regular season as long as it is capped off with a bowl game win.

Compared to Alabama's first unit? Yeah I have a feeling there is a bit of a difference.

Norwood made AJ look good. Who's to say that Cooper won't make Coker look better than he is?

quote:Combination of factors. Secondary has suffered from the draft and injuries, OL is average at best with a true freshman starting at LT, an inaccurate Qb that hasnt started a game nor has played against SEC caliber defenses in his entire career. Also, leadership will be an issue this year, same as last. Add in a new offensive coordinator that has been a cancer at every stop he has been to....yeah, its not going to be Alabama's year.

No quarterback's accuracy has ever improved over time. Ever.

I said Coker is inaccurate passer and you counter with "but theyre second string WRs"
Explain what that has to do with throwing accurate passes

What will classify Coker as a bust in the eyes of the SECr?

Not saying Coker necessarily, but what type stats does everyone think that an Alabama qb needs for Bama to win 10 games?

What is that supposed to mean? Not every pass that is caught by a WR is thrown perfectly in the numbers. A great WR can make a mediocre quarterback look good.

If Coker were playing for LSU, Alabama fans would be dogging him for the unwarranted hype he is receiving, but because he is now one of your own, you are defending him and making excuses for him.

The last last pass you saw him throw was from how long ago? Accuracy is muscle memory. I.e., the more you work out and throw, the more accurate you become. I'm sure he hasn't done either one of those since throwing in that one game at Florida State, though.

First off I'm not defending him. I agree with you. He hasn't proven shite. I was just asking a base question on what everyone thought a Qb's stats needed to be to be 10 win successful. Alabama has talent to hide some qb problems but what would be too much to hide. I wasn't defending anyone it was an honest question.

There are stories of how RGIII improved his accuracy while at Baylor when he tore his ACL by just throwing the ball back and forth with his dad. Not saying Coker will be RGIII, but it's certainly possible to improve accuracy.
