The new recruit from California, Jimmy Barnes at 6-4/225 rated 4*'s by some, seems to fit the situation/solution. He is tall and carries some weight. Maybe he can take a few hits from these 300+ pounders that have been finding our QB's on a regular basis. (Heaven forbid that our OL stop that from happening, but I will not go there-this is on QB's).
And if anyone responds *'s don't matter, let me say in advance @#$% &^% and stay out of my thread.
Well apparently you do have your head in the sand. The Alabama offensive line gave up less sacks than any other SEC team.

Also Pennington having no Spring Practice, very little fall practice, and small amount of backup work prior to Brodie's injury ahs played well, and improved each week. After all the Tide was 3-3 with him as a starter and he lead the team to a bowl birth when others were saying the season was over after the SC game. Losses to Tennessee and Auburn were close games, and the LSU debacle. If he had won those 3 games would ya'll still be bashing him? Hey I have never made a start as an SEC QB, so I cant criticize him too much, maybe some others should consider that also.
As for MG. Who knows, the offense was VERY vanilla at Arkansas, and against SC they tried too hard to change the gameplan. MG was thinking too much before throwing, as Brodie did in some cases last year. But I guess we can criticize him for two games because after all we have all been a starting QB infront of 83,818 screaming fans.
