The straight answer that no one wants to hear, is no one knows who the starter will be, its a question that will solve itself. Every time we break in a new QB Saban gets the fifth degree on naming a starter. Just sit back relax and let the kids develop. The two kids vying for the start don't know, Saban doesn't know, the new OC doesn't know. No body knows. It's a "Let's see how it goes" kinda game, and we all have narrowed it down to Ty Simpson, and Jalen Milroe. It's literally up to those two who starts.

I honestly really don’t care who it is because every time i get excited for someone I tend to ignore the other guy who is probably going to be the guy. The only time I absolutely knew who the guy was going to be when it was an unpopular opinion was Mac. It’s because for two years I heard from guys who went to the private REC scrimmages that Mac was leagues ahead of Lia, and was in some aspects pushing Tua. The only question was if Saban was going to give Bryce the nod early in his career when he had an experienced guy in the system.

So I would not count Milroe out. Because us and reporters only see a fraction of what actually goes on. I would seriously wait until the REC scrimmages to start really listening to updates.

Unpossible, no one ever improves!

A source present at Alabama's scrimmage today had this to say about Jalen Milroe: "He looked 1,000 times better than last year. If he would have played the way he did today against Texas A&M, we’d have beat those guys by 80 points.”

It sounds great if Milroe has improved a lot and I hope he has, but I always remember what Saban says about some guys are great in practice but play poor on game day and vice-versa. He may look 1000 times better but the question is " Has his ball security improved?" We won't learn that in Spring or Fall camp but instead must wait until the opener.

If we don't find out until Fall, we might keep both 1 & 2 on campus this fall. Otherwise we may lose one of them thru the portal. I hope they stay. Last year proved the value of having #2 semi ready.

Saban after the Friday scrimmage speaking of Tommy Rees..... "Does a really good job with formations and how to use formations to create advantages for us on offense"
... been some time since I've heard that in describing our offense..
I really liked that myself.

Saban using the word “ great “ has to make college football nervous. I love it.
(on new OC, Tommy Rees) – “Offense was great today. Tommy does a great job with the players. Players like him. He’s taken our system and pretty much used our system that we use, added some things to it."

Thats good and all, but afew games in and the defenses will have tape on what Rees is trying to do with the talent available. After that formations will help, but reads and proper decisions will be what counts.
