So 9 days from today realistically we should have an idea who this seasons field general will be?All freshmen are on campus. Practice starts a week from today.
If you are talking "quarterback" as in "field general" I doubt it. IDK if we'll know for sure the morning of Sept. 5.So 9 days from today realistically we should have an idea who this seasons field general will be?
I was talking about the QB. I would think after the 1st or 2nd practice that CNS and CLK would have pretty well decided who they are going with so they could give him the bulk of the snaps. I'm sure they already have it narrowed down to the top 3 and have a pretty good idea who the starter will be. No way they can go all the way up to the Wisconsin game before deciding. Wisconsin will be hard enough to beat without going into that game not knowing who the Bama QB will be. jmoIf you are talking "quarterback" as in "field general" I doubt it.

CNS and CLK may know, but I don't know if we'll know.:wink:I was talking about the QB.

Saban said he expected Coker to take the starting role last year going into the second scrimmage. Blake did the necessary things to win the job. I doubt CNS and CLK will have the starter picked after the second or third practice.I was talking about the QB.

I meant the 2nd scrimmage of the fall not the 2nd practice.CNS and CLK may know, but I don't know if we'll know.:wink:
However, I do think it may take more than two or three practices. I think they might even wait until after a scrimmage or two before there's a real pecking order. Not announcing a starter may also keep Wisky in the dark a little longer too.
Wouldn't doubt if they already know. Bama Moon is probably correct in that CNS and CLK probably already know but are not revealing anything to keep Wisky in the dark.Saban said he expected Coker to take the starting role last year going into the second scrimmage.

I honestly don't think so. Right now it is up for grabs as to who wants to step up and take it. Frankly the kid with the most talent to me is Barnett. I know he needs weight, but he has all the tools. Both Saban and Kiffin have remarked how good a leader he is on and off the field. Coker has talent, but has been very inconsistent. Cornwell seems to know the system and has the tools, but zero experience.Wouldn't doubt if they already know. Bama Moon is probably correct in that CNS and CLK probably already know but are not revealing anything to keep Wisky in the dark.
Again, Saban expected Coker to take the job going into the second scrimmage last year. How'd those expectations turn out?Wouldn't doubt if they already know. Bama Moon is probably correct in that CNS and CLK probably already know but are not revealing anything to keep Wisky in the dark.
