Bama QB

Interesting that Bama didn't feel confident enough with either of its other two blue chip QBs who were waiting in the wings. Or maybe this was just a depth move? I dunno.

Can someone enrolling after spring practices get up to speed well enough to legitimately expect to win the starting job in the fall, and if so will they be comfortable enough with the offense (playbooks, chemistry, etc) to be "Bama good"? Only time will tell
 
It'll actually be the same coaching, kinda. He played for Rees (Bama's new OC) at ND. He was injured most of last year, so he was unseated due to being out. May be just following his old OC that he liked
I forgot about him following rees. I read the article last night but slept since then lol

The scoop on Ty Simpson is that despite being a coach's kid, he really isn't very focused or "locked-in" on being a college QB. At least in his time at Alabama thus far he has been a bit of a f**k-off.
Almost like he doesn't want to be there.
 
I don't understand this at all.
Oh well, time will tell.
Just thinking out loud but following Nick Saban as much as I have over the years it seems he likes for kids to fight for their spots. Not be handed to them on a silver platter. I would not be surprised if this is not a move by him to make these two rookies want to fight hard for the #1 seat. Probably feels like they are not living up to their potential and this is his way of getting them there.

ALABAMA has some huge shoes to fill. Bryce Young being both a Heisman Winner AND the #1 draft pick is going to be a looming shadow in ALABAMA for awhile. Add to that you just came off of seasons where you had TUA, Jones, Hurts all AMAZING QB for ALABAMA. Maybe everyone is expecting too much????

Time will tell . You are right. But the GOAT knows.

The "goat" had the most talented roster in college football along with the #1 draft pick qb and still didn't win their division much less play for another natty. Everyone but the bammers can see the decline and it's glorious. See y'all in October
 
I'm not in the know but I think Tommy Rees wanted him at Bama. Whether he will be the starter or not I think it's the intent to raise the level of competition. Either Milroe or Simpson has to improve or Buchner will start.
I read that Simpson hurt his thumb in the first quarter of the A Day game and that might account for some of his performance. I thought he still did pretty well and made some really good throws. He also can make plays with his legs. May the best QB win.

Looking forward to it. I'll be there. Roll Tide!
 
We've heard that for years. Alabama has had some down years before, even under Saban. I wouldn't bet against Alabama wining less than 10 games anytime soon.
The Vols decline started in 1999. There were several top 5 classes and 10 win seasons over the next 9-10 years but it was all for naught. Once it's set into motion there is no turning around. Enjoy the ride 😁
 
Fulmer also wasn't 123 yrs old. My point stands. It couldn't last forever.

Saban isn't 123 pounds overweight. ;) :) Nothing lasts forever, but only a fool would count Alabama out as long as Saban is there and maybe even a few years after he's gone. I don't see Bama with a losing season anytime soon.

sure hope this info isn't correct. My son was born in Martin in 2011. He watched Ty train one evening before his HS Senior season. So we've been pulling for Ty to have a lot of success @ Bama or elsewhere as he chooses.

Nick Saban has never been one to put up with that or at least not call him out. Everything he has said publicly is praise for Ty. I wouldn't put much into that rumor
 
According to some of alabama fans this year was the most "ever" going to NFL,

Not most ever. Bama has 18 players drafted in 2018 in 2019 they finished 11-2.

Alabama had 10 players drafted this year. They also had 10 players drafted in 2021, 2019, and 2017. Following those drafts, In 2022 they finished 11-2, in 2020 they finished 14-1 and in 2018 they finished 14-1. That includes 3 SEC west Titles, 2 SEC Championships and 1 National Championship. (I think this is accurate correct me if I'm wrong)

I think Alabama will be OK in 2023. They may not win it all, but as always, they will be in the "final 4" discussion at the end of the year.
 
I'm sure he will have better coaching but couldn't make it at ND?

Will be interesting
Same offensive coordinator he had at ND is at bama now. Wasn't very good then….pretty sure they are not happy at all with the two they had in the spring game and this was a depth addition and they know he's passable but never going to be on the level they need to compete for championships. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of the two spring game guys transfer
