The funny thing is that until now 99% of this board never questioned Josh Pate’s sources or take. Yet now that his sources are telling him that there are locker room issues at Bama this board is 50-50 on it.
Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

Agree they didn’t say everything that was said in the meeting but they definitely said it was about holding players accountable and that they had confidence in JM or whoever is behind the center and that there was no favoritism… it kind of shoots the “player revolt†concept out of the water for me at least.
This is where I'm at.
Now run an offense to best utilize his skill. Don't try to make him a drop back passer making multiple reads and checks.
We can still win with him if coaches and the rest of the team do their jobs.
re-watch the game in slo-mo. at 4:09 left in the 3rd quarter, you can see the equipment manager give simpson the side eye
Why not just ask @Cruloc himself? Lol
At least on my part I've never loved Pate or really bought what he was saying 100%. I'm sure there are locker room issues. I don't think that's the same as Saban choosing a QB because the players said so.
I like his analysis of games and play breakdowns, but I always question unnamed sources.
So your saying I need to double up on my haldol and lithium?
I have my doubts that Milroe on winning the West based on my analysis of his play, nor do I like what I’m hearing coming from sources that have been proven to be far more right and in the ball park when they aren’t.
However I’m a Bama fan and will always will support them. So I’m hoping for the best although with far lower expectations. Hey maybe it will be fun.

I agree that it seems unlikely we will win the West both because of Milroe and the OL.
Look, what is saban supposed to say- "Jalen sure as heck hasn't earned it, but neither have the other two. Nobody has earned it; they all have looked mostly terrible, so may as well go with the one who is the best athlete".
That's the truth, but you're going to try to spin it a little positive than that for them and your team.
As I and most in the media predicted, saban saw the very poor performances from *both* Simpson and Buchner saturday against a really bad team and went back to Milroe.
We don't have a qb, and thats true regardless of which of the three are named the starter.
What I never understood was several posters in here believing Simpson played ok Saturday and would be named the starter because of it. He had like 2 plus plays in over a half against many negative plays. Same for buchner.
Milroe is likely to play fairly poorly going forward. That doesn't mean he is the wrong choice, however, given the options.
Alabama needs a qb for next season. It's one of the very very few black marks on saban's alabama career that we went into this season without a viable starter at qb.

yeah but I’ve brought that up many times before and people always seem to pass it off as he is too connected to burn a source. My point is that people are consistently inconsistent.
So what happens when Milroe throws 3 more picks against Ole Miss? Will we ar least consider pulling him, or is this Milroe until he gets hurt?
Who are Josh‘s sources does he say… yet we have players on the record saying what the meeting was about and what it was not about. I can see that people gravitate to a better story but it just doesn’t sail with me and I am one Who would like to see more of TS I guess a better question to ask since we all know players read message boards is who does this conversation better serve? To me it certainly is not our team. I am not saying you might not have a handful of disgruntled players - you have them every year - but a full blown revolt against CNS I am sorry I can’t buy that at all.
Yea, well that is a pretty hot take and I simply do not buy it. He said he had coaches text him to confirm but what coaches is he talking about? If any of them are Bama coaches they need to be unceremoniously fired.
I'll always root for the Tide. See my comments below the other quote.
So they admitted Milroe was punished? I didn't see that.
So he was punished because he whined about getting benched after UT?
I know CNS hasn't discussed player discipline, but it wouild make a ton more sense for him to explain this is what happened and he felt Jalen was always QB #1 and that the USF game was really a competition for the #2 spot. Otherwise, it looks like the guy he benched after the loss was #3, but because the replacements sucked so much and the team had a meeting, he made him #1 again.
I'll support whoever runs out there Saturday and I'll cheer for a Bama win.
But I don't have a great deal of confidence in the team at this point.
