I think at this point regardless of what we think we have to come to a place and decide if this is our team and if we trust them. Not just who is behind the center but all the players on offense and defense. Or are we the type of fan that gains their self worth from what their team does on Saturday? When they please us we cheer, when they disappoint us we moan and groan? When the coaches play who we want then they know what they are doing. When they don’t well they are just too old, too soft and have just lost it.
The boys say they have come together as a team and are now on the same page. Let’s see what they do as a team. JM has won this team by who he is to them. None of the other QBs have done this and honestly the only difference between them is the fact that one of them have won the hearts and minds of the players while the others have not.
At the end of the day that is who I support those who bleed Crimson. CNS says he likes this team. He says JM has earned the right to start by his leadership skills. Some Of you are too young to remember CPB favorite QB and it wasn’t JN it was Pat Trammel. Paraphrasing Coach’s words “He wasnt talented but he would beat you… the players rallied around him like puppies and would jump out a window for himâ€Â. Pat brought Alabama its first national title since the 1930’s. Maybe we get too star struck or place too much emphasis on the Superstar or worse yet listen to sportscasters who think they know or they just like to stir the pot. We have forgotten this is a team sport. Do we have a QB who can win games single handed? No! But we may have a team that can bind together, do their jobs and do something spedial.
There are no real rankings at this point and most of the teams in the “top five“ have yet to be tested. This season is far from over but it starts this Saturday. Let’s get behind the team or if we are too self absorbed to do that at least have the decency to find something more productive to do that doesn’t include running down those who are our team.
RTR!!!
