Getting Ready for Spring Battles!

I'm not buying the "Mack is only the #1 starter because he's been in the system longer" nonsense. And many here are looking at last year's performances. I thought both did pretty good last year in what little time we saw them. And Coach DeBoer has said both are lightyears ahead of where they were last year. They evaluate the players based on their performance in practice. Now, maybe Mack's performance is better than Russell's because he's been in system longer. But I doubt that has much to do with it. But the coaches are not going to start Mack, if Russell is clearly the better quarterback, simply because he's been in the system longer. They're going to start the QB who they believe will be most consistent winning games. And that comes from practice performances, and later game performance. It's not going to have anything at all to do with who's been in the system longest. That's nothing but bunk.

Say what you want about talent/upside but what people aren't addressing is who can read the field better.
You can have all the talent in the world and if you don't know where you should throw the ball to it does no good.
For the record I'm not speaking of either of our QBs. Just a general opinion/observation....
Whichever QB wins the QB battle I hope is able to read coverages and RPOs and such.
Both QBs can run (KR is probably the better pure runner) and both throw the ball well.

Some have asked about our 1st scrimmage. I saw on another site that it is supposed to be this Friday. I believe this is the REC scrimmage, which usually allows for some insightful leaks about players.
I wonder what type of controls are going to be put on the scrimmage or will the players and units be able to just play as if they're playing in a real game?
 
Is it just me or has this been the slowest anything has come spring training ever? I mean, I haven't been starved for Tide football news due to my angst with all things nil and transfer portal. But I'd love to see some football news.
People can complain about the word salad answers, but when it comes to combing for information,

Nobody’s finding….um, nothing
 
I thought the REC scrimmage was this Friday, but I think it's Good Friday, instead.

Surely, some scrimmaging is taking place this for into practice, though???

They were on spring break last week so no news at all and I saw some interviews with coaches and players the previous weeks on multiple outlets. They are back at it this week so more to come.
