    Who’s leading QB1 race in FALL practice?

    Correct. Also a true statement. I will be surprised if Milroe does not start the MTSU game. Now, whether he is the starter a few weeks later, we’ll see.

    Eli reveals John Parker Wilson will not be radio broadcast analyst this season

    I like JPW, but personally, I didn’t think he was a good fit for the role. Happy for TW. He has been doing CTSN for years, and I’ve always enjoyed listening to him.

    Who’s leading QB1 race in FALL practice?

    I think there’s some truth to this. It’s likely whoever starts is going to do well vs. MTSU. I would bet scrimmages against our defense are more valuable.

    Poll / discussion: Who will start at QB?

    Simpson was a turnover machine in the spring, but fans didn’t have the opportunity to witness it. We’ve seen Milroe have similar issues firsthand. I do think whoever protects the ball best in camp without being too cautious will ultimately be the starter.

    Fall Camp set to begin August 2nd

    I’ll be surprised if we’re not down to 2 guys by Game 1. It may not be stated outright, but there isn’t enough practice time to rep 3 QBs equally. My guess is that at some point relatively soon, maybe after the 1st scrimmage, the competition will start to favor 2 of the 3.

    News Article: Unnamed SEC School Offered Talia Tagovailoa $1.5mil to Transfer

    It was definitely Auburn. Not guessing either.

    Poll: Predict the NCAA decision for the 2020 season

    Agreed that most organizations are more worried about getting sued than they are about the virus. But we cant afford to wait for a vaccine economically. I have a feeling we’re going to find out that this thing isn't much different than the flu which also doesnt have 100% vaccination or...

    Optimistic 2020 outlook

    I’ll take a stab at it: QB - Mac or BY RB - Sanders (obviously Najee here if he decides to return) WR - Smith WR - Waddle WR - Metchie/Bolden/Shavers (will probably rotate a lot here) TE - Forristall/Billingsley (probably have to use converted OL again to help with blocking) LT -...

    Link: QB Jake Fromm Declares For The Draft

    I watched Newman play a few times this year, and I thought he was ok. He’s better than all their other options, but he definitely doesn’t scare me or anything. I think catching Georgia early next year really plays to our advantage. Their defense will be elite, but they will have...

    Bama Game Thread: Tua Announcment - Watch Live & Discuss (11am CT)

    Good luck to Tua! One of the most special players to ever play at UA. I don't think there was any right choice with this one. Tua's situation is just so unique. There was potentially a lot to be gained by coming back, but they opted for the less risky option which is completely understandable...

    Let's Do This: 2020 QB Discussion

    Mac will have a massive advantage because of how well he has played this year. Young is an elite talent and has a chance, but it's gonna be a tough task. I don't think Lia or Tyson have much of a chance here. Not because they're not good players, we're just loaded at QB right now.

    Najee Harris Draft Position

    This is right. It doesn't mean Swift is better. It just means that Swift is more what the NFL covets right now with the way the game has changed. This is a pretty good running back class too. Swift, Dobbins, Etienne, Taylor... I'm sure there are some lesser known guys that I'm missing. EDIT...

    DeVonta Smith Staying with the Tide

    This is awesome news. I thought after the Auburn game that we needed to get Moses, one of the tackles, and one of the receivers back to really feel good about next year, and that's what has happened. Obviously, we're all disappointed to see Tua go, but we're going to be in good shape with Mac...

    Poll: Does Tua Stay or Go?

    Late scuttlebutt seems to lean towards him leaving but who knows. There's probably only a small group who truly knows. I saw the post that Boz put up on another site, and he's had some pretty good info in the past. However, he has been wrong before, and honestly, the stuff he posted tonight...

    Alabama could have 9 first round NFL draft picks!

    Not gonna happen. This happens every year and is partly why we have had some guys leave early that really shouldn't have. I see 3 or 4 most likely, 5 max.
