I never said I was opposed. I think it could cause problems, but CNS gets paid the big bucks to deal with all that.
Greg and AJ both won NC as first year starters and Blake won a SEC championship and broke passing records as a first year starter. We were doubting all three as the starter but they all won.
Maybe I missed it, but who exactly was doubting GMAC before the season. I remember people were worried around October during the Tennessee time period, but I thought it was more or less a majority behind him going into the season. I know not everyone was sold on AJ or Blake before season, but alot of that was due to serious competition at qb. I didnt see too many people sold on Star or Darrah over Gmac who the year prior got a decent amount of pt with a TD against Auburn to top it off.
The way I recall it is there was no doubt Greg was going to be the starter after spring practice but there was doubt about his arm strength and experience and if we could win big coming off JPW's tenure. I think that he had a rougher first year than AJ or Blake even though we won the NC.
Fair,but you also have to remember we just got humbled by Florida in the 4th quarter and our team looked unmotivated against Utah. We lost Rashad and Coffee to the draft while Florida and Ole Miss by most accounts looked like the favorites. So the optimism of most Bama fans was pretty low at winning at natty.
Well also consider Gmac went against more good to elite defenses throughout the season while AJ went against one. Gmac played VT,Ole Miss,USCE, Tennessee,LSU, and Florida whose sefenses were all pretty loaded while LSU is the only one that truly stands out for AJ. I think if you swap AJ and Gmac at which year they started you would probably get pretty much the same numbers maybe slightly better for AJ.
Its a valid point, but again what is the harm in bringing him aboard? We can possibly win a championship with or without him, but if it boosts competition at qb why not go for it. Also if he transfers to either Ole Miss or LSU, they both would be substantially better and a bigger threat to our title defense. So why not get him just to prevent him from playing us.
An interesting, bold, and thought provoking statement and opinion, B1G ! In making it you`ve certainly done nothing to quell the speculations and debate!!
Please bear in mind Bama fans have a lot of direct experience in knowing what we need to do to contend for a national title. An Ohio State fan giving Bama fans pointers on our prospects for winning the title after winning one...that's almost as special as taking tips from Barners after they won it.
Need to thicken up that skin a little bit. I have been very supportive of your program long before we won our title last year.
Probably - but Miller would take the question marks away from the QB position.
Absolutely. The talent is in place at Bama! We will be in the mix with one of the QBs we already have.
My skin is plenty thick, thankyou very much. Your post came across as very condescending, if misinterpreted it, I'm sorry.
B1GTide is cool man chill out. His family pulls for both OSU and Bama and his comments should just be taken as insight from someone who follows the Buckeye's closely.
A very well respected member of this community. I'm happy for you that tOSU won it all. I don't like your coach, but nobody like ours either.
