Question: Can players receiving NIL share that and basically put other players on their payroll? If so, this creates serious issues.

Formby will be fine. Got much needed game experience. Remember how bad Proctor was last year at the start of the season…

I haven't been on here much lately. So sorry to hear about Surge. He contributed a lot to this board and will definitely be missed.

Prayers for his family.

Any rumors on replacements?

The next 2-3 years should have plenty of talent available based on recent recruiting. The big question is development. There are several factors creating concern for me. Coaching and coaching changes have impacted the development of the OL and the depth in several areas. I strongly feel that games with big leads should be used to develop depth across the board, and feel like many of these opportunities are wasted. Ending a game that is out of reach with run after run that the other team knows is coming, isn’t developing anyone. Granted, we don’t want to risk momentum, but how are you going to trust your depth when really needed without getting them experience. The coaching turnover has an obvious impact and I don’t think some of the current coaches are really committed/hungry/intense enough to provide the desired impact to college kids that in many cases still have to learn how to work hard the correct way. The next big concern is the combination of NIL and the transfer portal. We could possibly see players developed and the critical developed depth transfer out to teams for immediate playing time, and NIL provides extra incentive to entice players to move.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there is a big drop off in the next few years, it’s really just a matter of getting the team to be the best they can be. Fortunately, Saban is a master of drilling the message of the process and creating value into everyone’s head.

YouTube TV is discounting their price until the Disney negotiations are done. I got an email from them recommending the Disney package and describing the discount. Why not stay?

Not sure I understand the hate Slade gets on here. Jamison regularly drops wide open passes and gets no grief. Metchie drops passes and gets nada. Slade’s out there doing what the coaches ask him to do. Fielding punts is not an easy task. We really don’t have a clutch receiver that doesn’t have the occasional drop this year.

I don’t think I have ever seen an Alabama team this bad with “good” players. The Mikes didn’t really have good players like this.

There is a lot of OL standing around watching at the end of plays versus playing until the whistle.

Is Bryce's height impacting his ability on the quick throws? With that many on the line, there is basically a wall in front of him. IDK, but it probably impacts the slants and quick throws over the middle when he can't track the LBs.

Could be completely wrong, but just a thought.
