A long article on the QB situation at Alabama from Grantland.com.
"What that track record implies, and what the early enthusiasm for the 2014 edition endorses, is that Saban has built a machine that transcends the usual life cycle of elite programs, and that finds itself exempt from the burdens of regularly scheduled attrition and “rebuilding” years. It also suggests that he’s done so largely by making his quarterbacks as interchangeable as the supporting cast. After all, when surrounded by the deepest set of rushers and receivers in the nation, and backed by a perennially homicidal defense, how important can the specific identity of the guy under center[SUP]2[/SUP] really be?"
**Due to the unfortunate use of the one word in the article. I just deleted the link. However, members can still see the website and choose to go there and read it if they wish.
