Battered Quarterback Syndrome: A Discussion on Ty Simpson

[teamplayer]

Here's what I was talking about:

We talked about Milroe tipping plays last year with his stance, and I believe we are still tipping plays. It seems like other teams know exactly what is coming. It's either that, or our execution is awful. Of course, I suppose it could be both. Either way, we have a lot of work to do just to look competent on offense again.

“What’s happening to him is a crime against football — a blatant betrayal of everything this sport stands for. How can people be so cruel? Criticizing a young man who’s carried this entire program on his back, shows up every single week, gives everything he has, never asks for attention, never blames anyone — just tries to win for the Alabama Crimson Tide?

To me, Ty Simpson is one of the greatest quarterbacks this game has ever seen — and instead of tearing him down every time the team struggles, people should be standing behind him.”

That sounds like an AI Facebook post.

I don't know when or where, just that CKD said it.

Yeah. It's a good possibility.

Can someone who knows more than me tell me what's happening in this clip? Why do our center and right guard run into each other and let a free blitzer come up the middle? Really hope that OL coach is actually gone because what in the world.

If you know he said it, please provide a link. I can find nothing pointing to this and it reads precisely like some Ai slop.

No I can't tell you. Was Ty supposed to move to the right? Looks like it could also be some confusion about the play on the line. A number of things could have happened.

Also, Looks like the motion back was open going right to left though for a quick slant.

Also, while I hope Ty is drafted this April or next April as high as possible, the coaching staff has an obligation to the team and not the individual.

I'm reading the draft consensus is "Dude needs to stay in school another year."

I’ve heard this a lot from lots of people who enjoyed the Bryant years including my own family. But it’s also not 1974 anymore with a bajillion scholarships and running the wishbone. Heck, it’s not even 2012. The second string guys are not 3 levels above the competition anymore.

My problem with rotating out QBs is, among other things, practice time. This offense requires the QB to make a lot of decisions. Nothing tells us that Mack or Russell are on Ty’s level there and ready to take that load, other than hopium.

Hopium- that was Bama fandom in the early 2000s. I, too, remember Bryant subbing the entire offense on occasion, it was actually kind of weird to watch.
Still, back to current events, it would be refreshing to see Mack or Russell step in for a series or two, especially playing Oklahoma a second time. I know, it affects timing, rhythm etc. But any resultant Tide success would definitely affect the defense plans/execution. Make them coach in the present.

I'll say thsi: if Ty is hurt to the point he can't run/roll out or throw the ball effectively he needs to sit. Not because I don't like him and not because I think Mack or Keelon will come in and magically do better because I don't.
My concern is the young man's health and I think the coaches and doctors could explain this to him in a way that it won't wreck him mentally.
Better for us to lose a game than a player lose their career.

Unless Ty can magically heal up or improve, the offense will continue to look bad. It isn't all on him, but he isn't really helping back there. If he's hurt, make the bold call. OU has very little tape on Mack.

If we sub at QB I’d go w the best runner and then go with a few designed QB runs and RPOs. Give their D something else to worry about. Might help slow down their rush.
