Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

You have got to be kidding me. You guys are being too nice. He is no longer a player for Alabama and deserves to be ripped apart for this. He was your backup QB. If your starter gets hurt, he has effectively destroyed your season. I have no idea where he will go, but if this is true I hope that he never sees the field again.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

What a crappy thing to do to your teammates a third of the way through a season. Why not finish the year in case your starter gets injured? Doesn't cost you a bit of eligibility.
Why risk injury on a team who clearly has no plans for you? I think its a smart move on his part. Good luck to the young man.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

What Will Lowery said. Most credible coming from a former player.

He had a business decision to make, and I would have understood and supported him at the season's end. But a third of the way through? Please.

Don't think the players on his new team won't take note. Bad, bad look for somebody who wants to be a leader.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

Very sorry to hear this but I don't blame him at all. He is going to be an outstanding quarterback.

If he bails like this then my guess is he doesn't have the stones to be the first string qb. Better he fold now than during a game.

Clearly has no plans for him? Don't be dense. He was a play away from being the guy at Alabama.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

Extremely selfish move unless there is something no one knows about, and potentially damaging to our team. There are things I don't like about some kids nowadays.

Trying not to rush to judgement, but it seems in a nutshell BB is a coward and it's all about him. love, love what Will Lowery tweeted.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

Right move for him long term but low character move right now. Not finishing the season is just plain sorry and doesn't give off the look that he's a team player at all.

I believe this pretty much sums it up for me.

Re: Blake Barnett Transferring

No, the sky is not falling and the season would not be destroyed if something happened to Hurts; we have Cooper Bateman and David Cornwell and I am confident that Alabama can and would win big with either one of them. The offense would probably change a bit to accommodate the skills of another player, but that's a bit true if Barnett had to play for Hurts too (i.e. Barnett didn't run the RPO plays as good as Hurts).
