Something doesn't compete with me on why AK played all last year, all we heard was that Grant Hill was amazing and our 6th best lineman but we continued to play a LG who repeatedly had missed assignments and penalties in critical situations. I hope Arie makes a big leap in his second year as a starter but IMO he shouldn't have too many mistakes left before someone else gets an opportunity.

That's how I remember it. It was't a called play. McElroy just took advantage of what the silly Aubs showed him.
alasippi, you may be right. coach saban is loyal to his players, but, I really think blake sims disappointed him in the A game. he was unhappy with his not running ball on occasions when there was no other option. coach wanted blake to use the dual option when the opportunity arose and he didn't. I don't know who he starts, but, I do believe that his getting coker was not just to get another qb. I still think bateman, can be effective. coker just adds a dimension bama has not had since saban has been at bama. and I think the wants it to happen now. I leave it in the hands of the coach, but, I believe when the west va game is over we will all know who the qb is. I am not anti blake, I am just wanting to continue what coach and his staff have brought to the bama fans. starting a 5 year backup player is not where this team is prepared to go at this stage. at least I hope not./
Rousel is an ex-coach (college) and is CEO of coachingsearch.com. He does not like Kiffin or how he called some games. He likes Clemson and FSU in the final 4 and I believe he picked Clemson to beat the Barn in the final. Based on that you can wad up his comments and throw it out with the trash.Seems far fetched to me. @coachingsearch is Pete Roussel. Never heard of him tbh.
I think the thing that really is irking bama fans about coker is all the hype and potential ridicule if he doesn't live up to it from rival fans. But remind me how much of this coming from coker himself?
As good as Anderson, Williams, Robinson, Pettaway, Tomlinson, and Allen looked at A-Day...we may not need these guys as early as we thought we would.
Evans, Hand and Miller are probably all, "three and outs". Might as well play them don't ya think?
Without the early entree junk I'd try to redshirt them as well, but it's just not that simple anymore.
I just want to see him earn the job rather than everyone assuming that it's already his. That's truly all I'd like to see.
Im not assuming coker is a lock for the job,but Personally I think coker is going to win based of his physical stature and his deep ball, but I'm not going to take a side like a good portion of bama fans because I refuse to relive the 2011 qb battle. That year I was a Simms fan not an AJ because of my high school dislike of AJ, but in the end I found myself the next 3 years being an AJ fan.
If sims wins I'm a sims fan, and if coker or anyone else wins I'm likewise I just think people are taking coker's supposed hype too personal. But you are 100% right whoever wins has to earn it.

But aren't you confusing virtual life (board opinion) with real life -- what will happen in August in training camp?
None of us expect Coker or Sims to be handed anything. They'll have to earn it and that's exactly what will happen when whoever is named starter.
It's just seems the majority opinion here is that Coker will be the one to earn it in camp, but who knows?
I hope most Bama fans enjoy the moment more than that? But I doubt it. Too much consternation on the subject these days. Being the Gold Standard of college football is where we stand right now.
If Coker turns out to be as good as advertised, the disdain should just keep coming and I hope for years to come. I think we should just keep on embracing it, much like championship parades and going to see the president. It's just a cool time to enjoy this version of the Tide.
You may be right. At the very least they'll see time on ST. Like alasippi said, they are three and out future NFL type guys. Better play them now.
I have a hunch that Evans may be the best pass rusher of them all. It's going to be so much fun watching them come along, whatever they do.
If they're better than the guys in front of them, sure. But as freshman, I'm not sure they will be. I think depth at Jack is pretty great with Dickson, Anderson, and Williams. If Evans or Miller are good enough to push those guys aside, great. We'll be in terrific shape.
I think Evans could see some time at the SOLB position. Word is he is excellent in coverage. Auburn was recruiting him at a hybrid safety-linebacker position.
I've handed the job to Coker. Done deal there. Just waiting to hear back from CNS.

Just if y'all are a little curious here is one pass to amari by coker . I know it's just one pass, but it does count for something.... Right lol

Here's what I know Moon. From the expectations I've read about Coker, he's going to have to be darn near perfect from the moment he steps on the field or he's going to get killed with pressure and further expectations, because he's viewed as some incredible Quarterback just waiting for his opportunity that he has unjustly never been given.
Blake, on the other hand, is that guy who has simply bode his time and nobody expects anything from.
Which one has a better chance for success? No clue.
But I have a question. Did we even offer Coker out of high school?
I don't think we did. If I'm right, isn't it a bit crazy to think this guy is going to come in and run all the other QB's off?
It's a big question mark and I don't care. let's just win some games with whoever is best for the position.
sip
