Heard Wes Neighbors say today that Cornwell talked back to Saban when Saban was trying to explain what he wanted from his QB this year. Not fatal but not smart, either. Don't need a dumb QB.
To quote Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"

I don't know whether to laugh because he thought that might actually help him, or cry because it's so stupid, and we're looking to him as a potential leader.

Saw on another forum that Cornwell may withdraw today (8/26). Said it's the last day on the UA calendar to drop without a "W" grade, and he's wanting to transfer to a Juco closer to home.

Quote the source if you can... I saw same thing from RollTideBama Forum... It was part of the rumor mill thread... Right now it's just a rumor and nothing is confirmed or denyed....

Secondly, Go look at Drew Twitter, he said Cornwell was not in doghouse for talking back to coaches... it was something else.. that Wmack said in other thread.. he did something stupid...

I really hate to hear that if true but I am not shocked. I told a friend last night that it would be just a matter of time before he transfers.

Don't think that's the case. Wes may know something. I don't know.

The thread title leads to rumor. If the question could be answered without resorting to rumor, there would not be four replies, much less four pages of replies.

Not trying to fan the rumor flame AT ALL here. Didn't someone mention last week, perhaps on another thread, that DC may have complained about the share of reps going around?

It seems Cornwell has done some immature and selfish things that don't bode well when you are trying to be the starter and leader of a football team. I would not be surprised to see him transfer.

Not going to happen. He will be here through the year, and I expect him to be here longer but can't tell too far into the future due to desire for playing time. Anything could change next year or even in the Spring I suppose. His parents have a lake home in Tuscaloosa and pretty much have relocated here. They are planning on him being in T'town this year.

Can't avoid wondering if the "mouthed off" and similar comments with no source identified or link to media are veering into rumor-land.

That sort of thing used to be unwelcome on this site except from certain mods or admins. Or at least i think i recall it being that way.

Is it out of line to suggest we lay off that sort of thing?

Social media makes everyone an "insider" that wants to be. Let's quash the rumor stuff and if it comes out, we'll all know! RTR!
