I thought this was a good take on the state of the program.
We haven't seen much of Ty Simpson but I have hope that he will be a good qb for them next year.
 
I've said this for 3 years but Jalen Milroe is one of the worst quarterbacks I've seen play at Alabama. His pocket awareness is terrible along with ball security. The amount of times he threw a pass past the line of scrimmage in 2023 just baffled me. Since he wasn't benched I just wonder if Ty Simpson is capable of doing any better.

I didn't watch the video but read yesterday that a transfer (I think) was coming in and would be the presumed starter over Simpson. Of course I don't follow bama football just see stories here and there


And a lot of times these analysts opinions don't mean squat

As far as I know they haven't had any QB's come in this year. Probably talking about the guy who followed Kalen from Washington last year.

I'm obviously not an alabama fan, but I hear a lot of them talking about Simpson. I'm surprised he hasn't transferred if he's really that good.

I've been hoping to see Ty Simpson do well since he is a young man from NW Tennessee. Whether he earns the starting role or not, he is successful after earning Bachelor's degree while on scholarship.
:o)

We have just been so spoiled by some of the most Elite QB in the history of ALABAMA and probably the whole SEC for that matter that we have forgotten what it was like to have just a really good QB.

He's one of the worst in college football 3 years running. Especially since we're talking Alabama it's crazy this was their guy! He will not make it in the NFL. I hope he got a good education. His pocket awareness will get him killed in the NFL the game is just to fast for him.

Damn I agreed until that last sentence. Really good? He is not even close to being elite and is an embarrassment to Alabama football.

The only relevant Alabama QB turned pro in the last 25 years is Jalen Hurts. I can't think of any other that has done much once making the climb to the NFL. The only 3 that are making starts I can think of is Hurts, Tua, and Young.

His god Nicky recruited Mildew so it's against his religion to say anything negative about him. I reread it several times thinking he was somehow referring to another QB. 😅
 
Alabama had an incredible run of very good quarterbacks; Hurts, Tagovailoa, Jones, and Young one after the other. Milroe was taken after a preferred recruit switched and committed elsewhere. Milroe turned out to be a huge drop off from the previous string of quarterbacks; he is a fast runner but that's about it. He has limited Alabama's offense for two years now.

Simpson has a quick release and very good arm. I don't know if he is missing something that has kept him out of games or if there was something else going on behind the scenes. I believe there was something else going on as was kind of mentioned at the end of the video but it is only rumor as far as I know.

The freshman commit, Russell, appears to be very talented but at his current size, 6-3 180, he may not be physically ready by the start of the upcoming season. Russell would have to learn the offense and get moving on his strength and conditioning program. He is an early enrollee player so that will help.

I haven't seen enough of the current 3rd string quarterback, Mack, to know what to expect. The guy is huge though.
