Not bad at all. Wonderful arm, needs a bit of time and practice. Looks good for 2015, and if he were needed this year I wouldn't throw in the towel.

Lots of arm strength.
Fairly consistently a second late getting the ball out of his hands.
This caused a number of problems for his receivers.
Lots of good material to work with over the next spring & summer, but Blake is still head and shoulders the better QB right now. JMO.
This is what I have been thinking since he has started to see more playing time.My positive takeaways were C.Sims and Ar.Stewart are both going to be weapons at WR going forward. Hopefully Stewart will be okay. Even if he misses the barn game he could really help fill the Drake roll in the SECCG and the Playoff....
AND....Tyren Jones MY GOODNESS!!!! He's going to wreck the SEC the next two years. He's a step quicker Mark Ingram wearing a different number
Bad takeaway.....the DB's STILL not looking for the ball. They have to look next week because NM is the king of 'close your eyes' hail mary passes and D.Williams and Coates are HUGE WR's. They will come down with jump balls if our guys don't look.....or we will keep getting flagged for PI. We have to start looking.
Tyren Jones is going to be special. I was also glad to see Robert Foster in the game. This kid has a tremendous upside, he just needs to work on his blocking. I think the light will come on for Coker in 2015. RTR!
When you can literally shove a DB five feet away from you when the ball is on the way it really don't matter if you look back or not. You can't defend that level of an advantage. Hence, it's ILLEGAL!!! (That's to the sec ref crew).My positive takeaways were C.Sims and Ar.Stewart are both going to be weapons at WR going forward. Hopefully Stewart will be okay.

I think the team and coaches completely overlooked this game for next week. That is fine with me now that this game is in the win column. The injuries will likely sideline some of those players from practice time even if they can play next week. The last time that I felt Alabama came out looking that lethargic was against Arkansas....and look what we did in the game after that (T A and M). Roll Tide!
Some pretty pointed post game remarks from WCU head coach about Kirk Herbstreit.. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/11/western_carolina_mark_speir_he.html
It would lessen the amount of PI's on us though if we look. When you just stumble into the WR and cause him to fall down and you aren't looking for the ball they will throw the flag everytime.
Also our guys aren't being pushed off everytime a pass gets through. They are blindly flailing their arms around hoping they touch ball while the opposing WR looks it in and catches it or lucky for us drops it.
Yeah we get pushed off some but we can control the other stuff if we play the ball when it's in the air.
It's kind of odd.
Big windup on deep balls.
Slow windup on short balls, as though he's carefully dialing it down.
But he's got a relatively quicker release on the intermediate routes.
I think a lot of it is due to the degree that he is thinking about the throw, rather than just making the throw automatically.
Took my 3 year old son to his second game today. Took him to the FAU game too (man was it hot). We had a great time. I already have a Bama game buddy. There were a ton of young families and young kids there today (HC) & the weather was perfect.
On the game- lots of great minutes for young players. The team was just flat at the outset. CNS said such in the post game. Pretty much the polar opposite from last week's atmosphere. When Coop went down 100k people let out an Oh crap! in unison. Really liked Tyren Jones and Chris Black. RTR. Beat AU.

With Bama's win and Ole Miss' loss today, we have a little more breathing room for next week. If Ole Miss can now somehow win the Egg Bowl next week, then I believe we are SEC West Champs no matter what happens in the Iron Bowl. If we beat Auburn, we are going to the SECCG regardless of the Egg Bowl (which is the way it should end). We have the potential for 4 straight challenging games.
Well the first one cost a first down and later a td. CNS was livid. He was madder about the whistle though. I get what you are saying though.

Took my son and baby daughter too. It was a blast save for the nerve wracking injury potential.

Did anyone else notice the entirely different style of play calling with Coker in? Reminds me more of play calling with AJ in. Alot more airing it out and open plays
