So CNS and/or CLK call and ask you what to do about QB. What's your advice?

BamaMoon · Sep 20, 2015

Do you say stick with Coker? He'll make a great throw and then telegraph an INT.

Do you say give Bateman another chance with more running plays? He should have kept the ball a few of the times on the zone read, but he handed off.

Do you say give Morris a chance?

Do you say get Blake Barnett ready cause we're losing a couple more games anyway the way it is?

Where is the "realize that Jake is every bit as a running threat as Cooper is" button?

CrimsonSEC · Sep 20, 2015

If Barnett is our future, then put him in the mix. If he's not, then it is what it is, and let's go with the status quo. I'm tired of QB controversies myself. If he's got the goods minus the experience, then lets's get him some experience.

CRMSNtide · Sep 20, 2015

I think Coker is the best we have, but he's gone after this year, so any seasoning he gets wont be useful next year, plus he's just not that good.
46.7 completion percentage tonight, 2 interceptions and a few more that should have been picked off and can't throw an accurate deep pass.

I almost want give Barnett a shot, he looks so skinny though, needs a year to fill out some.

crimsonaudio · Sep 20, 2015

At this point I put Barnett in and see what happens for a few games. We gave up FIVE turnovers tonight and still had a chance to win, BB can hardly do worse. The upside is the payoff.

This defense is special, and the offense is good enough to win lot of games, but if I'm honest, I play for the future.

Jokrswylde · Sep 20, 2015

Barnett. He dominated at The Opening against elite talent, so he can compete at a high level.

I would rather watch him miss reads, miss deep throws, hit defenders between the numbers, with the knowledge that he will be here multiple years vs. A one and done.

Had we done that last year, we most likely would not have won 12 games and a SEC Championship.

Man, I'm torn. If we were a power running team like LSU I'd say maybe ride it out with Coker. But, even then, you've got to have the deep threat to keep a defense honest.

Part of me agrees with Barnett and how much worse could it possibly be?

I wish they would go for this logic.

Yah, but we don't have a Blake Sims right now. Plain and simple.

Can't really go there. Apples and oranges at this point.

NationalTitles18 · Sep 20, 2015

I tell him to play the guy that is going to protect the ball.

This.

rgw · Sep 20, 2015

Stick with Coker but start getting Blake Barnett groomed to be the first guy off the bench.

If the offense can't correct itself with Coker in the October hell run then get Barnett in there and play for 2016 continuity on offense.

BamaMoon · Sep 20, 2015

One thing is for sure. If there is a Barnett experiment, next week is the time to try it.

russtang · Sep 20, 2015

I say they make a decision and pick one and give him All the reps possible. Stop splitting reps.

tide power fan · Sep 20, 2015

Last year the o was worse than it was tonight, if we wouldn't have been behind so far we wouldn't have been throwing so much, the last Interception Coker threw baffled me why we would go for such a long pass at that point in the game.

CB4 · Sep 20, 2015

I'd say you guys are the ones making the big bucks to put the guy back that there that gives us the best chance to win, week in and week out. Make a decision and live with it. The worst decision is making no decision at all.

Well, in the coaches defense, it is really about live, in-game reps. And, frankly, neither guy so far has shown he's the guy for the spotlight.

Why it might be time to see if BB could be the guy when the spotlight is on him?

Pretty hard to argue against this point
