I'm very happy for TY! Living here in West Tennessee and near his home town I've kept up with him since highschool, as I have said before we are going to be fine with him at QB, the young man has been breaking film down with his Dad since he was like 10 yrs old, his Dad was a QB at Southern Mississippi and also has been a QB coach to go with his Head coaching, he knows the position, will he make mistakes of course who doesn't, but the fruit of success will be better than the failure RTR
Ty Simpson named starter for FSU game
- Thread starter Bama Lee
- Start date
Another aspect that hasn't really been addressed much is that we sold out to a certain style last year due to JM being the unquestioned QB1. The entire offense was customized for his skillset. It isn't an easy peasy fix to just simply throw the playbook out the window in the middle of the season and start running plays that fit Simpson's abilities. This season we have three guys who all have similar styles and they also are styles that CKD and Grubb are most comfortable with. I expect to see a much more fluid, efficient, and explosive offense this season.
I have little to no doubts Ty can run the offense and even be exceptional once he gets a little experience. My greatest fear is that he will let his desire to succeed push him on plays that he needs to just throw away and end up getting hurt. As much as I hate seeing a play go for nothing I've noticed the QB's that win rings all know when to give up on a play and move on to the next.
The good thing is we've had several QB's (that we won titles with) who had to learn when to give up on a play and live to play another down. I think Ty will have some moments (early on) where he may try to do too much, but ultimately will learn. Let's just hope those times don't cost us games. There's nothing wrong with making mistakes; it's when they cost you games that it becomes a problem.
Grubb is very aggressive.
I feel safe in saying our Offense will try and dictate what opposing defenses do and make them adjust and react 1st…. If they can.

Alabama now has multiple former quarterbacks starting in the ACC.
He always looked to have good mechanics and seemed to understand the play calls.
So Ty, Holstein, and Lonergan are all Starters now.
I don't know a lot about X's and O's, but one of the things that has confused me over the last few years is that it seems like we have recruited highly rated quarterbacks, but they all were very different from each other. Am I way off base? Is this a side effect of the constant OC turnover? Are some of our recent QBs panic recruits when we lost out on more highly desired players?
Does not mention a 40 time but this review is quite good. Don't think Mac would have had this review.
Ty Simpson is known for his speed and ability to extend plays, with some even comparing his play style to Patrick Mahomes. While he's known as a versatile quarterback, his speed and improvisational skills are considered notable strengths. NFL Draft Buzz notes that his release speed is rated at 82%.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Playmaking Ability:
Simpson's speed allows him to scramble and make plays outside of the designed passing game.
- Arm Strength:
He's also noted for having above average arm strength and a wide base when throwing.
- Comparisons to Mahomes:
According to a Reddit thread, former Alabama players have highlighted his ability to extend plays and look downfield while on the move, drawing comparisons to Patrick Mahomes. - Scouting Reports:
Various scouting reports, including one from On3, emphasize his creative, improvisational style and ability to stress defenses as both a passer and a runner.
- Comparisons to Mahomes:
two things we've heard since the scrimmage make me hopeful he won't push too hard. CKD said he's thrown ZERO picks in all of camp. That sounds like he's not taking risks he shouldn't. GMAC then said TS only made 1 bad read/decision in the scrimmage. i.e. he knows what to do and processes almost all of it correctly.
so all the raw material is there, so like I said before, now he's just got to prove he can do it in live fire.
It doesn't hurt that Grubb and CKD run a QB friendly offense. I have held my excitement in but I'm starting to have a hard time doing that...
There was really only one that was a panic recruit when we missed on who we wanted. All the others, while having different levels of different strengths pretty much fit a similar mold. Tua, Mac, Bryce, TS, Lonergan, Holstien and even Sayin were all considered pass first guys who also had a reasonably high level of overall athleticism - not elite level athletes, but better than average QB athletes so they can extend/escape if a play breaks down.
I always liked Lonergan when I was able to see him, which wasn't much.In other news, congrats to Lonergan

I get everyone knocking the coaches for the Jalen Milroe experiment. And this isn’t an attack, but I do believe the reason for the long leash was because of 2 staffs. Had Nick and Rees stayed a second year I believe Milroe may have been pulled at some point for Ty , like Jalen was pulled Tua . Milroe is that superb athlete that if the light comes on for him, he could be the best dual threat ever. The new staff thought they could turn the light on for him, Like Sark , then Rees before them.
We complain, but Jalen did get us within a play or two from playing in the National Championship game.
Well done, Mr. Simpson, here are the keys to the car.
Now, go make us proud.
Now, go make us proud.
That's a really good sound bite by AJ.
Loved that dude when he was playing.
Thanks for sharing! Man, I know these are "highlights" and not "lowlights" but he looks really good when he looks really good!!!
And, I've been confident in his arm talent, but I think we'll see him make some defenses look silly with his RPO vision skills. All I'll say is TS has vision and knows what to look for/read.
Ty Simpson starts his first game in 19 days, one week from Sunday will be game Week.
I applaud Ty’s dedication to staying the course, not being a distraction, and showing excellent perseverance. I’m excited to see him play and lead this team. RTR.
