Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

[glorydays1990]

I'll play along. Who's next?

I live in Gainesville and hear this stuff every day, I ask them ok if not Napier who? So I will ask you. Who?

My top choices:
Throw as much money as you can to bring Sark back. He was obviously the guy groomed for the job
Dabo-- seats getting hot in clemson

After that I go thru the saban coaching tree. Lots of them out there. Keep the bones of the place in tacked.

It just seems we a pinning our hope on a QB who can run better than pass.

Maybe, but I think if that's the case that should tell us all we need to know about Simpson and Buchner.

Ty has great arm talent. It's been said from day one by basically everyone. But clearly he isn't doing a lot that the coaches want him to do. Both in the game and in practice.

The problem here is we don't have a great QB and honestly almost every insider has been saying that since day 1. Maybe none of us wanted to believe it.

 

[CoolBreeze]

You have absolute faith we’ll beat Ole Miss, aTm, Tennessee, LSU, and the Barn?

I got faith in the Coach.

 

[Tiderollin32]

This is absolute BS. If I’m Ty Simpson, I’m transferring TODAY.

Hopefully he remains Ty Simpson. Looked like he and Milroe are both pulling for each other. Maybe we should do the same!

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

Occam's Razor people. Maybe Milroe, despite his flaws, is just better than Ty and Buchner.

 

[colbysullivan]

I got faith in the Coach.

Have you taken a look at Saban this season?

 

[PA Tide Fan]

I don't know what happens if Milroe throws 2 picks against OM. Does Saban pull him or is he committed now no matter what?

How's the weather in West Georgia?

Looks like a champ to me.

Smells of desperation.... given what we saw Saturday.. genius if it works out, a goat ( and not in the other use of the word, the actual animal) if not..either way we will get to watch this potential train wreck unfold. Roll Tide

Tua didn’t transfer in 2017 even though he was better than Hurts so why should Simpson transfer now? His name might be called upon later this season, maybe even Saturday.

At this point I don’t think he’s ever going to pull him. He had the perfect opportunity to move on after the Texas game, yet here we are.

 

[davefrat]

If he's the man going forward, then it is what it is and we need to get behind the young man.

Tua was seeing the field a lot in 2017. Simpson hasn’t been given a fair shake.

I have no inside information whatsoever, but it looks like some of the team mailed it in on Saturday because Buchner was named the starter (obviously a bad decision). By the time the hook was used and he was pulled in place of Simpson, they had floundered around to the point of almost costing us the game. Simpson at least showed some command and poise even if he didn't play great.

Regardless of the other multitude of issues in the Texas game, Milroe's pick six sealed our fate, and it was a terrible read from the beginning. He has shown he can't read the defense, locks in on one receiver, and can't throw slants or other intermediate throws with any consistency. He is the epitome of the baseball player that may hit you 30 HRs but will strike out 100 times, most of those with runners in scoring position, and leads to the team losing games they shouldn't. He is a great athlete and from most indications, a great young man, but being our main QB just isn't working...

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

sure thats one way it could have went down.

OR

The team dislike simpson so much there would be a bigger cluster....

like i said, it will be impossible to know. I have my guesses but saying them on the board without proof usulally gets a strong slap on the wrist.

Clearly the team is split on this issues.. or the meetings dont happen.... clearly if it was in saban we trust there wouldnt be team meetings. The TEAM has seen the QB position one way this entire time. Obviously Saban hasnt.

OR an Alien who is an Auburn fan came down and replaced Saban to sabotage from within.

Who is to say?!?!?

 

[colbysullivan]

Looks like a champ to me.

Even the most crimson glasses wearing homer knows this is objectively wrong.

 

[Bama Lee]

Tommy Rees needs to call plays that help Milroe and not hinder him. Keep it simple

 

[Methylred]

Well... ok then

I haven't been this discouraged three games into a season since Shula roamed the sidelines.

This.

I think at this point even if Saban doesnt think JM is the guy. He's going to roll with the team on this one and get everyone on the bus.

Hence why i said earlier... did the team make the decision or saban... i think Saban knows this is the only way to get the majority of the team on board. So he went with it.

That said. Its still a huge red flag. And its certainly not in Saban we trust inside that lockerroom. All the quotes from former players about you better listen to Saban... means there are some in there.. that arent and dont.

Situation REEKS and REEKS bad.
