While I often disagree with Krazy I still enjoy his posts
Well I’m done traveling to away games after this year. Too much money, stress about opposing fans, and it’s just not fun anymore. I’ve kinda backed myself into a corner with the Wisconsin game because I’ve been planning it with military buddies for years. I think I kind of came to the conclusion after the Florida game in 21 after the miserable drive, heat, and fans that I was about done. But I kind of look at the upcoming road games and only maybe Ohio St and ND interest me. One friend wanted to know if I was going to FSU and UGA next year and i said I rather get the stomach bug for 7 days than do either. I mean going to college baseball games, Braves games, and Stallions games are becoming more fun than going to Alabama football games. The stress, the number of jerks, and the lines are very low while usually having better parking and amenities than your common college football environment.
But nil and transfer portal is slowly hurt my interest. The donkey fans controlling discussions is also driving me off the boards.
I don’t think i agree with much that krazy says but atleast i can respect his commitment to research and basis for his argument. I do miss him but by far the one that I miss the most is Selma… although I talk to him often, but his contributions will be missed.
I KNOW there are several JM fanboys who won't touch that challenge with a 10 foot pole.
It's like his obvious weakness, which have been on display for 2 years now, do not exist is their eyes.
I believe these two posters have about as solid of a take on this matter as I've seen on this board. I'm not a JM hater or lover. Neither do I hope he fails.
Here's the thing I see: his weaknesses as a QB are so graphic I struggle to see how he can erase them and run an offense like CKD desires to run. If he somehow gets fixed by his QB guru then I'll become a believer. I just want to see him play like a true, drop back passer who can dissect a defense with his arm (and legs when appropriate). Until I see that I'm a doubter. But I'm not a hater. I just want to see Bama put our best QB on the field.
You are confusing "accomplishments" with "execution."
We slopped/muddled/lucked our way to a lot of those accomplishments. There were many games during the year we barely beat average teams and looked real sloppy doing so.
Kudos that they put it together to beat Georgia and make the CFP. But we were a seriously flawed team that got by with three things: 1..Great leadership from CNS. 2. A great OC who simplified the offense for JM to be able to run it. 3. We were the most talented team in college football, according to recruiting rankings and many of those "stars" played defense!
Those 3 things are the only things that stood between last year's 10-2 season and CNS finishing off at probably 8-4.
Just out of curiosity, what have our other QBs been doing since the offseason? Just sitting around drinking beer, vaping, and playing video games. I'm sure they are doing everything possible to be QB1 when the season starts as well. All we hear about the QB position is Milroe this and Milroe that. It would be good to hear about how the other QBs are doing every once in a while.
Well, Milroe gets his picture taken more than the other QBs. He gets himself out there to be seen.
I understand why Milroe is getting all the press. Simpson really didn't play any meaningful snaps so there's nothing really to go by. CKD is being very strategic in how he publicly speaks of the QB's but the majority of the QB questions are about Milroe, not the others. But if A-Day told me anything, it told me Ty Simpson (on that day) looked better than any of the other QB's and though he's not asked about a lot, the gap between Milroe and Simpson isn't that much at all, if any. Because on THAT day, Simpson looked the part.
In no way limited to this thread, what a number of people are getting tired of is:
1. Inane back and forth of the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” variety.
2. Intractable positions. As in, I’m right; you’re wrong. On top of that, you‘re too stupid to recognize my glorious infallibility. Therefore you’re are an inferior human being.
3. Black-and-white / 1s and 0s thinking. There is no gray to consider, let alone multiple shades of it.
Which boils down to….
4. The board as a whole is a microcosm of the world today.
Forget compromise — which many see as a sign of weakness. An increasing number of people find it impossible to agree to disagree, yet respect and enjoy the company of someone holding a different opinion on a specific topic.
And yes, it’s causing some posters to stop posting altogether. For others, they cut back volume and/or avoid parts of TF. Still others just don’t read or respond to specific posters or groups of posters.
It’s for real, guys.

It's the hypersensitivity to constructive criticism about JM that seems to be the biggest issue. Second to it is the "hope/belief" that because he is a hard worker all of his issues will suddenly disappear.
There are some who may be a little overly critical, but I don't think there's one person who wants him to fail so they can say, "Told you!" Most critics say, "He's got flaws that are hard to fix and I've got my doubts, but I hope he can.

This. Everyday. Casting aspersions would be pointless and naming names would get me banned, but some of the folks on here are so intractable in their positions - and manage to hijack any seemingly-related thread to talk about one particular issue - that I have dramatically reduced the amount of time I spend on TF. I appreciate 4QBC for finally giving voice to what I've been hesitant to say myself.
To be frank, I'm tired of seeing the same people beating the same drum over and over again. Constructive discussion is dead in many of the threads, and it's getting to the point that I will only click on and read the most recent post on a thread on the FB board if a mod is the one who posted it.
I can get behind this
