Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

The introduction of big money to players in the college game is something we’re gonna have to sort out. It’s a different player today. With some of the money floating around these guys feel they’ve already made it but they’re too young to really know the difference. Whole new world here and it all revolves around the almighty buck.
Yep, hearing about what was going on last week has me worried that this team is very close to implosion. How did it ever get that far, who knows. Think the only way that gets fixed is through recruiting and transfers out. Milroe cheering Simpson on over the TD, while I'd like to feel it was genuine, its hard to see it that way.
I know Hurts got benched for Tua and stayed and took it like a man, grew from it, got better. Have a lot of respect for Jalen Hurts. Jury is out on young Milroe, I'd like to see him turn that attitude around.
Maybe at least Ty will get some work with the first group since he is behind Milroe. Even though he didn’t light it up I still think he showed signs of being a good qb at some point.
If this team had more Jalen HURTS this thread would not exist.
‘I’ll take your word for it since I didn’t watch him that close but neither of them felt big enough for the moment.
The team responded in the 4th with Simpson. The line played marginally better even. You can tell he sees the field better, and he can also hit short and intermediate throws better.
When there are more "I"s on the team than "we"s, then there is bound to be trouble............I'd say single those guys out and bench them, but only Saban can make that call............but I'd have a come to Jesus meeting with any ring leaders and let them know the score
Let’s look at the facts: TS plays with the same deplorable OL, takes the team downfield for a TD, throws a couple of first-rate passes, elicits an offsides penalty, and, most notably, no turnovers. Yet we have witnessed the inexcusable turnovers from Milroe, inability to see wide-open receivers, and waiting too long to avoid sacks. Don't be shocked if Ty jumps in the portal---who would blame him?
Once one approaches age 70, many companies and hospitals require an employee to undergo a “compos mentis” evaluation----please test Saban.

There's a big difference in getting 1st team reps and starting the game when it's 0-0, than in watching your offense do nothing for an entire half and you enter the game at 3-3, without the benefit of 1st team reps.
All of this happened under suspiciously apathetic play from the starters against one of the worst defenses in college football.
Simpson was put into an impossible situation, getting no protection, getting nailed in the back and somehow led a couple of TD drives to lead us to a win.
Not the stuff of Hall of Fame careers, but he also didn't lose the game either.
You may see him again Saturday if things go south............hopefully they stay north of the equator
My observations from this early week announcement are...
- This OL is not fixable this season...
- This early week announcement was more for the OC than anyone. There is dissension on the staff as to who the starter should be. He will have to build his resume based on Milroe’s play.
- If players are really going to hold each other accountable, then they need to learn to huddle this week. That's a good place to build a team.
- Saban never had this team over the spring and offseason.
- This team has more drama on it than the 2007 team and DJ Hall was on that team.
- Ty Simpson will be factor later in the season. He just needs to keep working and wait for his opportunity. He has probably been affected as much or more by the favortism of a clique on the offense. He has essentially been shunned by his own teammates. Unless he has insulted them some where along the way, this is just wrong.

Yeah, gotta give him credit for that...............at least he didnt go prospecting like TB
If Ty plays a factor later in the season, that can only mean Saban has benched Milroe because of another loss. And if that happens, our season is over anyway.
What did you hear? How many players are we talking about with attitude issues? A few or many? I hope Saban handles it the right way.. Sounds like some players need to be counseled or talked to.
If he does that he might hurt their feelings and make them anxious.
I wish Jalen Hurts could come talk to the team.
