Just had this thought cross my mind this morning. Can't help but wonder if Barnett would've made it into the game given the struggles of the offense in the last few games. I think Blake was definitely a more capable passer. It seemed like they were about even at the beginning of the year in that aspect but then Jalen regressed greatly toward the end of the season. Maybe not so much regressed as once there was enough film on him he was easy to gameplan for. Anyway, what do y'all think about the Blake thing?
Do you guys think things would've been any different if Blake would've stayed?

He doesn't have the stomach for a game like last night. He's better off at the beach with all his dudes.
Don't know... Don't care. Blake is a quitter and I don't want his type in the game when we are down and need a drive. Jalen led the team back and put us in position to win. It's a team game and you can't say our Qb play was the only reason for the loss.
Yes, things would have been much different. We may not have won the SEC west, much less make it to the playoffs.
Yeah we scored enough points to win but the defense was on the field for 99 plays. They were exhausted because the offense couldn't do their part to control the game.
Jalen is 18 years old, okay maybe 19. Last year he played high school football. In the clutch he drove the team down the field and scored the go ahead touchdown with a great scrambling run. That showed me a great deal of guts and courage. The kid's a winner in my book. Blake got beat out for the starting job and he decided to move on to where the competition to play is not so intense. What does that show you?
Um I don't think so. Jalen just hit a freshman wall. Give him a break.

no, he folded like a cheap tent at the slightest pressure. With our OL, we would've relived the "sack game" and Brodie Croyle would have nightmares again.
No comment on him quitting the team.
I don't think we go 14-0 and make it there with him playing early in the year.
He may end up being a great qb with time.
He would have been best to stay in the program and then start as maybe a redshirt soph...like AJ.
I figure he could have thrived in time.

No. We needed a mobile QB to be successful this season. Our pass protection broke down at times and Blake would have taken too many sacks.
If Barnett is starting:
- we possibly loose to LSU
- We possibly loose to TAAM
- we loose to Ole Miss
Therefore, no playoffs, no SECCG, and no reason to be upset today about losing last night. Jalen will be okay, he gained alot of valuable experience this year and I have no doubts he'll lead us to a championship soon.

Loose - not firm/tight, able to be detached. Once the screw came loose it would no longer hold.
Lose - opposite of win. I hate when we lose.
