Quarterback commit Blake Barnett could bring new element to Alabama Crimson Tide - College Football - SI.com-via rbr
What does Barnett offer the Tide that previous quarterbacks have not? At 6-foot-5, 200 pounds, he brings a rare blend of passing proficiency and mobility. For a team that -- with the exception of Sims -- has largely subsisted on pocket-tethered, pro-style types under Saban, Barnett could bring a new dimension to the offense.
"With the quarterbacks that Alabama has had over the last 5-10 years, since Nick Saban has been in Tuscaloosa, you look back, you went from John Parker Wilson to Greg McElroy to A.J. McCarron -- those guys [are] more of your pocket passers, your pro-style quarterbacks," said Andrew Bone, a recruiting reporter for TideSports.com. "And Blake Barnett is a pro-style quarterback. But the biggest difference between him and those guys is he can run, sort of like what Blake Sims is able to do right now down in Tuscaloosa."

Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones was on the radio to talk about the Falcons' 19-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon, a win that put the given-up-for-dead team into a tie for the top spot in the NFC South standings with five games left in the NFL regular season. But when asked what he thought of Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper, Jones didn't hold back his Roll-Tide pride for his alma mater.
