Alabama announces spring practice schedule, A-Day Game kickoff time
- Thread starter kyallie
- Start date
I got to be honest, I've totally forgot about preseason with everything going on with basketball lol
Looking forward to seeing how everything pans out. I think the QB battle may go into fall camp though.

Just Simpson for me. I've seen all of Milroe that I care to
Agreed I honestly don't think Bama can compete for any kind of championship with Milroe under center. I would love to see Milroe be open to changing positions.
Generally agree but a good QB coach can work wonders...
I am pulling for Milroe. He is a good kid and a new O coordinator may just be what the doctor ordered for him. Simpson, yea, hope to see him push to be QB1. Holstein and Lonergan are also on campus so maybe one of those guys has the moxy to step up and get into the mix. Going to be interesting with Rees calling the shots so a big Spring on the gridiron for the Tide. Fun stuff.
If you had told me what Kiffin would do with Blake Sims I would have tried to have you committed.
I really hope Colorado enjoys their moment in the sun, because as soon as a bigger program calls, Deion will leave them just like he did Jackson St.
We use football analogies all the time to describe basketball, so how about a basketball analogy for football/quarterbacks:
There's no doubt this spring is about discovering the next Bama signal caller.
I try to remain open-minded about Jalen Milroe (trying to learn from my inability to see the possibilities with Jalen Hurts), BUT, to me Jalen Milroe is like a gifted athlete who has an awkward shooting motion in basketball. It just looks awkward coming out of his hand. In basketball terms, he might be the best athlete/fastest guy on the court, but B-ball is about getting the round ball in the round hoop. On the other hand, Ty Simpson looks to have a pure shooting motion; smooth and graceful without much effort - again, basketball analogy...
Can JM ever learn to throw with better motion (and most importantly better consistency/accuracy)? IMO, he just looks like a great athlete trying to play QB (granted, he's got a strong arm but seems to struggle with other throws).
BTW, the concern I had for Jalen Hurts was never in his throwing motion, just in his unwillingness to stand in the pocket and see the field.
So, I'd like to see JM improve and have a chance, but the eye test for me says TS will emerge as the eventual starter.

Really impressed with everything I've read/seen in him!
He’s the heaviest quarterback on the roster. Interesting to see if he slims up a little.
I'm pretty sure he's just finished the 4th quarter program and he's listed at 15# heavier than he was in HS, so I suspect you're looking at what they want him to be.
He has the size of a TE. I hope he turns out to be a heck of a QB though. I like a big QB.
