A lot of the quitters going to the TP will absolutely regret not coming/staying here. Most of these are offensive players and we're about to build an awesome offense. I hope they do well in life but I hope their playing days go down the toilet. I have nothing for them.
Gonna have attrition with players with a coaching change, especially those that came to play specifically for Coach Saban (ala Bond). We are 4 deep at most positions with superior talent so even if we lose a bunch of those guys we still have a roster that can win for this Coach. We will see what happens on the field this first year but we hired a winner that finds ways to win. With the GOAT still on campus, I like our chances in sustaining elite recruiting at the Capstone.

CKD is not going to start his Alabama career with 1/2 a play book because his QB can't read defense. All the QB's need to learn the play book but reading defense and making quick decisions comes easier to some and not at all for others.
Didn't Wash have a package for another QB that usually run the ball?
Did you watch the video? George tells us that a running quarterback in this system can be deadly.

Uneducated opinion here, but CKD would be unwise to just toss Milroe into the gutter because he doesn’t “fit his system”. I can’t recall the source right away, but CKD I think was quoted as saying he had worked with mobile QBs in the past. Milroe isn’t chopped liver, he accounted for 3,300 yards and 36 touchdowns last season.

I don’t know how it will play out, but some of y’all act like Milroe should either transfer out or change positions and I think that’s very premature.

I think CKD will for sure play the best player at the spot - just no guarantee that it won’t end up being Milroe.

No matter what any fans think or say about what Milroe should or shouldn't do, he's not going to just up and walk away from his NIL deal of $1 million plus.

Milroe's stats seem great but Alabama's stats were significantly lower than previous years.

I wish they would have taken the time in the video to tell the viewers what the reads are that the QB has to make on each play, because it isn't as easy as some think. You have to know the play well enough to know who you are supposed to be reading, and why. And the who and why changes with the play. Where you go with the ball depends on the read. Mess up the read and you are playing backyard ball, which is essentially what Milroe did all season.

Let's see if Milroe can get there, but it is a lot more difficult to master than casual fans can possibly appreciate.

Again, I don’t care who the starter is as long as we can run the full play book. I'll say this, if Deboer can make a complete QB out of Milroe he is a better coach than I think he is. And I think he is real good. Deboer needs to get off to a really good start. He better get it right from the start.
