Because looting, burning buildings and cars is the same as fighting for your country. That's a huge can of dumb.

No I’m saying white people should fight against these protests. We have to save this country. We built it. It’s up to us to maintain it

We have a bunch of white people who think the answer to race relations is to ignore race, or to even implement policies and legislation to favor non-whites, and a bunch of POC whose world revolves around their racial identity and the advancement of their people. They’re taking all the power they can get their hands on.

Combine this with the general attitude that America is up for grabs. “Come one come all.”

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see where this is headed

I think 4 or 5 SEC teams could run through that schedule unscathed

Again, I think all of this discussion is moot. Bryce Young is going to stroll into fall camp like a boss, and blow the doors off of Mac Jones

quote:

---

Im as big of a Bryce Young fan as you’ll find, but even if he is Tua level from a talent standpoint he would struggle massively against UGA due to a lack of experience.

---

Um, considering Tua jumped in against UGA with no experience, and slaughtered them, I’m not sure your statement holds water.

And it’s not like Mac Jones has tons of experience.
Bryce Young could potentially have two games under his belt going into UGA. That’s how much experience Mac Jones has.

We need to put our best talent on the field. If Bryce Young is a better, more consistent passer, he should start. Period.


Look, i think all of this debate is pointless. I think Saban already has Bryce Young in mind, I think he’ll win the job, and while everyone might be shocked, I think once you see him on the field, it’ll be pretty obvious

quote:

---

Mac Jones has the opportunity to be a high level SEC QB

---

If by “high level” you mean 4th or 5th best in the conference, then sure.
He got outplayed by Auburn’s QB last year.

I can’t for the life of me understand where this Mac obsession stems from.

Would you take Mac Jones next season, or freshman Jalen Hurts?
I actually think freshman Jalen could take us farther.

Fortunately for us though, B Young looks to be much better than freshman Jalen Hurts

quote:

---

Saban can be benching upperclassmen in favor of better guys that just showed up.

You’re missing several key factors here.

1. Saban operates by the rule “once a starter, always a starter” He feels bad about taking guy’s jobs away. He even admitted to this sense of loyalty during the Jalen/Tua situation.

2. Mac Jones has at no point cemented himself as a starter. At no point has he officially won the starting job. He played last season as the backup QB. The competition is just as open as it was the year Jalen won the job.

3. Bryce Young is the better QB of the two. He also offers a key mobility factor, and gives us a true dual-threat - which Saban has always loved. The ONLY reason he wouldn’t start is if he’s behind in terms of knowledge, but he has been devouring the playbook all offseason and all quarantine, and actually running the Alabama offense with NFL players. There’s a real chance that Bryce Young has been outworking, and outpreparing Mac Jones all year.

4. The most important point. Saban wants Bryce Young to be the starter. He knows BY is the more talented QB, and he’s going to be looking for reasons to hand him the keys rather than the other way around. He loves this kid. Saban knows what the landscape is like today, and knows how much of a team’s success hinges on having an elite QB.

Bryce Young will be the second true freshman QB to start for CNS.

What I will say, is that I think the USC game could be a split-time scenario as we’ve seen him do in the past, but at the latest, Bryce will start by game 2.

quote:

---

He's expected to be better than Tua right?

---

Tua’s accuracy and delivery is second to none, but truth be told, Joe Burrow was a better QB. Trevor Lawrence was a better QB.

Yes, I think Bryce Young will be better than Tua. I think he’ll be the best Alabama QB of all time.
You can feel free to gawk at that statement, but considering he’s the highest rated QB to ever come to Alabama, it’s not an illogical prediction

quote:

---

Kirby is never going to win a Natty.

---

Les Miles, Gene Chizik, Jimbo Fisher, and Coach O have won natties.
Anything is possible

Yes, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he starts game one. The precedent has been set with Jalen Hurts. Saban is more than willing to start a true freshman - especially with the way he gushes about Bryce Young.

Bryce Young is the best QB at Alabama. The only question is if Saban realizes that, or if he flubs the decision as he’s done in the past.

Mac Jones isn’t good enough to win a title
