Yeah, he got the series after the fumble recovery, first play was a long run by Jace inside the redzone. Last play before the FG was when Proctor got beat and Simpson was lucky to get off the ground uninjured.
Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

I don't think you're a Bama fan if you "can't wait" for a Bama player to fail.
I certainly don’t want him to fail, I just fully expect it. As I said earlier, I would love nothing more than to be wrong.
That's not what he's saying.
Its an inevitability given that he can't read coverages.
Hmm, I haven't seen one person say Simpson is the "best" QB. I think the rub is no one really knows because he wasn't given much of a chance to shine. He didn't get first team reps all week. He didn't have the game plan made just for him. He had to come in and play safe in a game that we could have lost.We put 17 pts. on the 98th ranked defense in the nation and people think that Simpson is the best. smh!

We know what we've got in JM; good and bad.
We know what Buchner can't do now.
Simpson? Who knows?
Unless and until the OL play is addressed, who struggles to QB the offense won't matter.
If the fg drive is 'counted'(in which he threw no completions and took a 7 yard sack), he had 6 total possessions. 5 if you don't count the last drive of the first half. Not 4.
And on 2 of his 3 scoring drives, he neither completed a single pass nor had a single positive carry. He did nothing- no read option, no play action, no nothing that could have been seen as threatening the defense in a way the box score wouldn't show.......he was essentially not part of those drives. Giving him credit for any of the offensive success for 2/3 of those drives is a real stretch.
I went back and reviewed the whole game now play by play(just because I was curious due to how popular this thread is), and I gave both Buchner and Simpson an D-. (only a D- because neither turned it over)
I'm usually a generous grader, but that was the worst half of qb play I've seen in a long time from both. Buchner's issue of course was that he was wildly inaccurate and having lots of throws hit the dirt. Simpson, otoh, just looked like he didn't even belong out there. I suspect in some theoretical world where every play involves just one maximum read and a perfectly clean pocket(like on one of his two plus plays all game where he hit the long pass), he may be the best option of the 3. But that's not realistic- that one successful play he did have is just not an opportunity he will likely get against a credible opponent. When live bullets are out there and pass rushers are around him and pocket is changing and recievers are covered........he's not ready and that game made it obvious. We know Milroe is not a decent qb, but right now Simpson is not a realistic option.
Finally I looked over the national reaction to today's news and virtually every single outlet anticipated it as being predictable.
I don't have *any* confidence in Milroe Saturday, but we are 7 pt favorites and I'll be pulling for him. If for some reason Milroe can't go tommorrow and Buchner or Simpson were named the starter instead, that line would go down some.
I saw that earlier on video today. There can't be a lineman on the bench who could not do better than that!
I haven't been in much since they remodeled the store and school started back. I need to drop in and check on everyone.
I stopped reading where you said you gave Buchner and Simpson the same grade. We watched 2 different games.
Best option that we have.We put 17 pts. on the 98th ranked defense in the nation and people think that Simpson is the best. smh!

Well it was with the 123 ranked oline in pass protection so that's pretty good no?We put 17 pts. on the 98th ranked defense in the nation and people think that Simpson is the best. smh!

Yup agree—really weird posture for a fan.
I just caught the first part of the replay of Mac and Cube program on JOX.
McElroy (basically) alluded to what most here have speculated. There was a reason Milroe didn’t see the field Saturday. He wasn’t going to. Period.
-“remember the pats on the back “congratulations” you see on the field is not necessarily the same attitude you have in the locker room.
- McElroy said “this team can still be “good”, but they better get it together soon.
- Saban should be “ripping off heads” based on the things he is hearing about attitudes.
There are some serious “it’s about me, not about we” issues going on down there.

Maybe sitting on the sidelines watching it all potentially slip away jerked a knot in him. In my eyes he’s better than what we witnessed last Saturday night despite the warts. Both those boys had the deer in the headlights look. They’re just not ready and may never be. Milroe is a great athlete and we’ll have to use him to the best of his ability. It’s another weapon on the field. I’m disappointed the others didn’t work out but its time to move on.
Buchner yes, but Ty absolutely did not have the deer in headlights look. The team responded to him.
