I agree. I think Simms will be the starter early on. Who knows what Bray will do. He is a true freshman and is very skinny. Simms should be a junior, so he could start for 2 years here.

I agree with your post.
He definitely does not have 5 years of experience here. He is on his 3rd system in 5 years. He has never been picked as starter, outside of a few games in 2008 after Crompton played badly. His only advantage this season would have been that he has had several years as a college QB and he has had more time in a college weight/nutrition program.
It was by far our toughest test of the season. They didn't rely on gimmicks {barn}. That said, it will be more difficult this year.
It should be much more difficult for them with the lack of personnel this year. Back to the topic, Tennessee seems to be better off with Stephens gone. Are you disappointed he left?
Maybe someday barners and ucheat fans will realize BAMA has moved to another level and your teams are really that insignificant..:biggrin:
Up until an hour ago I still thought this a rumor.
I am not surprised at all, and do not see this having a large negative effect for them on next year's season. As others have pointed out, the line issues are going to be much more problematic. Stephens always seemed to play a little tight to me what little I saw of him.
He knew this was his last shot to be the guy. I think that he just wants to use his last year of eligibility to actually play and he was seeing TEKEL written on the wall.

I also think he would not have won the starting QB position. Dooley is not afraid to cut the fat. The more attrition they have, the more room they have for pt next year. That is a huge recruiting tool. Saban did the same thing at UA. They do have talent coming back, just not experience...much like our secondary. How well they gel and buy-in will be the question. I still think Kiffin has some left-over thugs on the team. I wonder how long Dooley will put up with them before they are gone too. The quicker problem guys are gone, the quicker they can gel. Not saying Nick was a problem guy, but it was a problem situation.
I hope you are joking (and if so ignore the below), but if not:
Guys, lets not get an all mightier than thou attitude all of a sudden. I mean I am interested in what other teams are doing in our conference. Do I lose sleep at night at what Tenn or any other SEC program might be doing? No!
But lets not act as if we are so "superior" and "significant" that no one elses moves and ideas don't matter.
The idiocy of some fans is where the hatred for others starts...
Would you expect anything else from a guy nicknamed "Pick" Nick?
A QB nicknamed for throwing INT's is doomed from the start...

The Fat one is gone, the mouthy one is gone, the good one is at Home. No need to get happy about a Vol leaving. Disappointment is all Vol not Bama.
Your probably right. Dooley is a great recruiter, and if the VILES give him a chance he might become a thorn in our side. Hope not, we'll see.
