2016 Season QB Thread
- Thread starter BamaMoon
- Start date
Just for the record, I've read through all these opinions and come to the obvious conclusion. I am the only person here who knows anything about QBs and who will start. And Lord help Coach Saban if he doesn't start the player I know is the right person, because we will go 0-11. Everybody should know to trust a shrink to pick the QB starter.
;-) Play nice guys, we're on the same team, and our problem is we have a bunch of good options that could all do pretty well and nobody knows who would definitively be the best option.

Aaron Suttles opinion means no more than anyone else's. All our guys are capable, we just need to get it sorted out.Aaron Suttles was just on the Cublic show here in Huntsville. He made the troubling statement that he didn't see Alabama playing championship football with either of the 2 QB's on the depth chart at this point based on what he has seen.
Don't flame me - just posting what I heard him say
We were a dang good 3rd down offense in 2014 but didn't get them when we needed them in the CFP semifinal game. As a logical guy, I take the averages but the results sometimes defy the logic. That is the reason football is so interesting.
Kills me how reporters are making the news instead of reporting it in today's society.
Be honest - if Cecil Hurt made that comment, would you guys have that reaction or would you give it some credit?Kills me how reporters are making the news instead of reporting it in today's society.
I couldn't see Cecil making such a comment. If he did though, I'd still take it with a grain of salt. I respect what these people do but that kind of comment implies our 5 time national champion coach doesn't know his team.
Because I'm a layman and newer to sorting out the validity and insight of some of these beat reporters I'd probably have a similar reaction. I feel like CNS has been positive overall on the QB's. Also the comment of "championship football" being boiled down to just the QB's when other's have pointed out the GMAC situation. I don't think Cecil would make a comment like that because it's rarely spectacular play from the QB's that wins championships for Bama. From what I've read of Suttles I really like him, but he's kind of throwing the baby out with the bathwater with that sort of statement.
Aaron is stating what we already know. He was talking to an aubie as well. The QB's are not looking very good right now , but we weren't getting championship play out of the QB position this time last year either and look where we ended up.
We have to have a QB who is capable of winning a game for us or we end up with games like we played again Ole sis last year.

I think Cecil has more sense than to make that kind of a statement at this point in the game. 1. He knows the limits of his knowledge and accepts it and 2. He would give the young man a chance on the field before making that kind of a harsh judgment.
CB may or may not get it together this year. Heck, maybe no one will be ready, but the more veteran player - if you play the chances - gives us the best chance year in and year out. FSU for years played juniors and seniors and were a consistent top 5 team. Same for us except for AJ's RSo season (in which we won the NT, but not the SEC). If someone does not get it done someone else will be given the chance, but the coaches are going to start whomever they think gives the team the best chance to win NOW. That's worked out pretty well so far.
Outside of Clemson, South Carolina I imagine very few are playing at a high level right now.
The "2 QB's" may not have looked like they were capable of playing a high level of play when Suttle's watched them at practice, but, when they're practicing against what's perhaps the best D Coach Saban has ever fielded..Not many college QB's will look good or play at a high level when you're practicing against our D & behind a O-Line that's trying to find an identity practicing against one of the absolute best D's in college football..
I just don't think it's fair to judge our QB's & our offense practicing against our dominant D cause we've looked fairly good on offense every 1st game under Coach Saban..I don't think that will change this year against USC..Coach Saban has been consistent in the fact that irregardless, if a Player is a True Freshmen & he's the best Player at his position that gives our team the best chance to win..That Player will play..If Hurts doesn't play that means he's not ready & I completely trust Coach Saban on that decision..
Really excited to see Barnett at QB..
I know Hurts was the popular choice but I think people are slightly under rating Barnett's abilities. Watch any of his Highlight reels from HS and you will see that he is a legitimate Dual Threat. Some eye catching runs and decent Top End speed!
The kid is good and he will deliver if he's given the chance. Hurts will get his shot but right now I'm really excited to see how Barnett develops..
Roll Tide!

Blake does have a lot of talent and potential. He has to get the gunslinger mentality out of his head and make the safe, smart read instead of trying to throw a dart into a seam with double coverage. If he does and takes his shots when they are there he will be very successful.
You know... I had the same concerns about AJ and that's one reason I was a bit concerned about him as a starter. He proved me wrong and had less turnovers in the entire season than he has in scrimmages. It is certainly within reason that Barnett do something similar.
