| FTBL NEXT YEARS RECORD

So you want instability in '08 for a little help in '09? Hmmm. Still not making any sense. I've never been a fan of a two-QB system. Especially, if it's McElroy and JPW then it would provide no advantage, as they are both primarily pocket passers. If we had a mobile QB to come in and run, then it'd be different. I guess you could make a case for Star Jackson, but I'd much rather redshirt him and work with his "raw" talent his first year at BAMA so he improves for the years to come.bamanaf said:If we can try to work in a new qb with JP next year then in 09 the new qb wont be starting cold turkey. Hope that helps.
I do see Saban putting McElroy in alot faster this year in smaller games (assuming we are leading comfortably) to get him more playing time, but I just don't see a rotating two-QB system next season.
I know the big SEC games are all on the road...UGA, Uark, UT, and LSU....But for some reason, I'm not as intimidated by some of those teams next year.
I mean, is Tennessee going to be that good? I don't see it. How about LSU, losing 25 seniors/NFL type players? Sure, they reload, but what if they are working in a new staff? Is Perilloux really their future? Uark will still do what they always do. They will run Felix Jones to death, but thank GOD that Hillis is gone because he's that one guy that you never count on beating you, and always seems to. I think Uark is very winnable, again, possibly working in a new coach. UGA will be unbeatable. I'll give you that one...
But other than that, I am wondering what the fear is? I see Agbarn as a WIN next year. At B-D, working in a new QB, Borges might be gone to be a head coach. Even if he isn't, they still can't do much but run.
11-1. That's my call. Clemson looks very beatable at times. Kentucky will be down. Tulane...Well, after LaMonroe, maybe not :lol:
11-1.

Not unless he learns to read coverage. He has the physical tools but I am starting to wonder about other aspects of his game.
I agree 2009 will be "the" year, but I don't like the idea of "playing for next year". I guess we are both entitled to our opinions. I still think JPW will be our man next year and we won't see a two-QB system. I guess we'll see.bamanaf said:I'll take a little instability in 08 for a solid 09 anyday.. 2009 seems to be the year all Sabans blood, sweat and tears will payoff.
One thing about JPW that I keep in the back of my mind: There have been many, many times when a QB was fair to poor for his underclassman years, and then turn in phenomenal Senior years.
I think of how much Brodie seemed to improve his senior year, and look at Jason Campbell down at Auburn. I will wait to see how this guy looks in Spring camp, and then going into Summer camp. But I know he had a rough, rough junior year, a big step back from his soph season. I know he has the tools to be an exceptional QB, not just decent. Good runner, strong arm (not the strongest), and durability. The guy has taken some hits.
I guess we should think back to the difficulties that Freddie Kitchens had, due mainly to the shortcomings of the OL. I'm certainly not making any excuses for JPW, but one has to consider everything. He will be the guy to beat going into 2008.
