Cornwell has a long way to go to be "the guy". I think he has a lot of potential, but then again I thought Phillip Sims did as well. That's the value of having another guy like Blake around. It could be just like AJ and Phillip, if Coker has a great season. But, it's far, far too early to know who could win that battle.I think Cornwell is going to be the guy BB is going to have to surpass for the starting job.
That's good to hear coming from you in Cali SJC. About the scouts comments he could play WR, I can totally believe it after seeing his tape. Kid is incredibly athletic. He is highly rated now but after his senior season he may be rated even higher.first off, let me start off by saying Bama just got a Huge Commitment from BB. secondly, I firmly believe he will stick with his commitment , his family were completely blown away when they came to Tuscaloosa for their visit. they know in their hearts , BB will get the proper coaching and development once he arrives. lastly, some Scouts think he is athletic enough to play WR, think about that for a moment.
Agreed. Not one of us has even seen Cornwell take a snap. It's always going to be the new guy but experience and knowledge is huge in a Saban QB.Those wanting to discuss Barnett's waiting time and saying Cornwell is the man after Coker leaves (whether it be Coker starts the next two years or next season) need to remember this time last year many thought Bateman would be the man. That has not been the case, yet. However, CNS now mentions him when discussing the QB battle. Let's not make Cornwell the next guy without him actually getting reps.
um, how exactly has bateman not panned out? he redshirted last year, and then played way better than all the other qbs in the spring game, the only time we have seen him do anything. did you expect him to beat out aj maccarron as as true freshman?Actually I could see him earning a shot early on, Bateman has not panned out like most thought (and myself) and after Coker is gone he would be a RS-F in an open QB battle more than likely so it's not like he will be sitting for 3 years with no shot. By then I'd imagine Bateman would be in the Alec Morris boat if he doesn't improve.
Ummm Blake Sims has him beat out, a QB turned RB and now QB again. You don't expect that it of a big time QB. Even with us taking more QB's each year tells you what Coach Saban thinks about our depth.um, how exactly has bateman not panned out? he redshirted last year, and then played way better than all the other qbs in the spring game, the only time we have seen him do anything. did you expect him to beat out aj maccarron as as true freshman?
you think cooper hasnt panned out becasue sims, who is a 5th year senior and was also a 4 star qb out of hs, is ahead a RS freshman in the spring. do we even know if sims is still ahead of cooper after the spring? we do not.Ummm Blake Sims has him beat out, a QB turned RB and now QB again.

I certainly agree with you and that can be accomplished without profanity.Especially that particular one which is unacceptable in my book. That being said is enough and I will say no more. Congrats to Blake and I look foward to seeing him in crimson.I think we'd be better served if this thread stayed focused on the good news of Blake opting to play for the Tide. To that end, welcome aboard, we look forward to your arrival.
