Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

[colbysullivan]

We don't blame you at all.

You should see some of the hate I’m getting as if I’m the one that lost the Texas game.

I’ll say that it’s exactly how it looks and exactly what it and it’s exactly what Pate stated.

The team made their choice now let them survive or fail with it. All we can do is cheer for the them and hope for the best

If that is true, and I’m still not ready to accept it, I’m not really sure I want to pull for a team with such an outrageous attitude and entitlement problem. I’d rather see the entire starting offense get benched and replaced by the 2s than put up with that toxic mess. Just……dude. This is like football sports movie drama.

Before the USF game, I jokingly mentioned the possibility of a Netflix special in our future. I’m no longer sure it’s a joke.

None of us know exactly what is happening here but remember when there was a QB controversy between Tua and Jalen Hurts. Hurts was playing but the players had confidence in Tua and stories were circulating there was a near mutiny in the locker room. The difference back then however was the fan base and even OC Brian Daboll felt Tua was the better choice. Here it seems the players support Milroe along with some in the media. I can't say this was a near mutiny situation but JessN who has a good idea about whats best for Alabama football was convinced that Simpson was in the driver's seat.

JessN also thought Milroe was going to start vs SF, when everyone half way close to the team knew Bucher was taking literally 100% of first team reps last week…

Simpson is going to get more opportunities cause I guarantee you the pics,and pic 6's are not over,there will be more. Simpson needs to hang in there and be ready and make the most of his opportunities, and Buchner needs to hit the portal ,it just didn't work out ,good luck to him where ever he goes.

I thought this site didn’t allow unsubstantiated rumors, yes we know there was a team meeting but where is the facts for a mutiny or demanding Milroe start. Also where is the proof Milroe was suspended last week? If it is there show it but if it isn’t Mods shut it down.

This discussion is helping no one and is creating division where none can be proven to exist. I noticed JM during the game was congratulating team members as they came off the field… one of those was TS. So where does this division stuff come from … a picture?

Would I have liked to see TS be the starter yes, but I will support the team no matter who starts at any position. Honestly it is a close call in some areas which QB is better but I trust the Man who Leads this team. There is no one I would trade Saban for … No one has accomplished a third of what he has and that includes bowl cut Kirby.

lets get behind the team or find something more useful to do on Saturdays

Milroe is the best running, scrambling QB on the team. With this oline, that's what the qb is going to be doing a lot of.

 

[Probius]

What’s happening on the field is all that should matter.

I get that, but the ability to be a leader in the locker room matters also. A good QB leads the team and earns their respect, so they play hard for him. I'm starting to think that the team likes Milroe and they believe in him.

No, you're getting hate because you keep posting unsubstantiated rumors and then act surprised when people don't accept your word as holy writ.

I understand all that, but it still doesn’t explain the abysmal effort from the OL against Texas. Or the fact that absolutely NO ONE was yelling at anyone else on the sidelines. They don’t get the right to “pick their guy” AND play like crap.

 

[RollTide2U]

It’s odd to me that CNS left no surprise to who will start this week. Normally he would use it to his advantage. This announcement was intended to quiet the inner sanctum.

Looks to me like a Coach trying to settle a locker room down.

Agreed. I'm telling you what I think may be going on, not what I think is right.

People can think whatever they want. I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I’m simply saying “This is the reality”.

 

[colbysullivan]

Agreed. I'm telling you what I think may be going on.

Yeah but they DIDN’T play hard for him, that’s my whole point.

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Yes, but in all fairness to JessN he posted his USF preview very early last week before practice was underway.

 

[BamaMoon]

I don't think everyone understands how BAD USF was. We made them look like a decent SEC team that kept it close until the 4th quarter.

This may have been the worst game we played since LA Monroe in 2007.

Does anybody want to explain how we could dominate MTSU, a decent team, but look this bad against a bad team???

You kidding me man, you are a great poster. Glass half empty sometimes but always valued input.

Alabama players-only meeting was about 'holding guys accountable'

JC Latham shed some light into why Alabama called a players-only meeting Sunday after a sloppy win over South Florida.

247sports.com

This is what the players reveal about the meeting

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Here’s the thing I can’t figure out. The players got what they wanted when Milroe was announced as the starter against MTSU, but then apparently had a tantrum when he was benched after losing to Texas? What did they expect? They honestly thought Saban was just gonna let one player ruin our season? Of course he was benched! You don’t get to pick “your guy” and then throw a hissy fit when he plays like crap.

And you know this how?

 

[Probius]

Yeah but they DIDN’T play hard for him, that’s my whole point.

I understand that, which is why I think it's something going on off the field since what we have seen on the field hasn't explained why CNS is sticking with JM. There has to be some reason and being a leader off the field is one possible explanation. I'm grasping at straws to understand what is going on here. JM has been a turnover machine on the field.
