But, I'm sure the czar will have it figured out 
!
Another source said Simpson drove the length of the field on his first drive, but freshman Jalen Hale dropped what should've been a touchdown pass that would've capped off an impressive start. The offense then had to settle for a field goal.
That same source said that he thought all of the quarterbacks made good plays, but all of them had errors, too. "Tough to seperate between them." The source said there was a 4-5 minute stretch where the top four guys should've all had interceptions. According to him, Milroe looked the best amongst the quarterbacks — but it wasn't by much.
I will say this is the most praise I've seen regarding Buchner. We knew the Notre Dame transfer would take some time getting acclimated after arriving in the summer, and it seems that he's finally gotten comfortable in his new environment. We don't know where exactly he stands in this competition, but anyone who has officially ruled him out as an option was probably premature. He apparently made several impressive throws on Saturday, some of which were dropped. He also had some rough patches, but this is something to keep an eye on — even after the season gets underway.
Alabama fans will certainly be encouraged by the news regarding the quarterbacks, but that also means the defense — whether it be the first or second team — struggled to keep the passing game in check.
Drops continue to be a problem. Benson was a part of the first group, but he dropped what should've been an easy touchdown from Milroe after getting impressive separation. Niblack had a drop on what one source said was a "laser" from Lonergan.
Brooks then dropped a Buchner throw that would've gone for a decent chunk of yardage.
Even Robbie Ouzts, who typically has reliable hands, dropped a pass (not sure who the quarterback was on the throw though).
Bond also dropped what would've been a touchdown later on in the scrimmage. Obviously, this is becoming a significant concern as Week 1 approaches.
"There are too many drops," one source told BOL. "That's definitely a thing right now. It's strange though. There were too many drops, but I don't think any receiver had more than one."
Another thing to mention is that on each of the drops that would have been a touchdown, it sounds like the WRs were wide open. And add to the fact that they did not intercept balls that they could have makes me think that their DB issues will continue this year as well.
