Whoopsie.. MAC.. but yeah Matt in his prime at arky would work!

Milroe jogs out first IMHO. What would be some 5D chess trolling would be if Saban trotted all 3 out for the first snap just to screw with everyone!!

Depth chart release is tomorrow (likely) and even though we may see the ole "OR" next to multiple QB names, who do you guys think is going to be the guy?

Not so fast

Saban explains why Alabama will not release game week depth chart

 

[Davestwin]

The 'Bama QB that plays the last offensive play against Texas.

Until then, it will remain wide open

Hopefully, against Texas the Bama QB taking the last snaps will be in a mop up role!

For the sake of sticking it to Texas and their governor, I hope Milroe leads us to a butt whooping over Texas after what Abbott said about him.

And I thought that I was the biggest dick around here.

I guess I have my moments brother. Been told I have a sense of humor dry as a popcorn fart

But remember, whomever is the starter game one…they will look “great” because it is against MTSU. I suspect all of them will get playing time and all will look good. Week two will be the week we find out who the starter is.

I don't think that'll be the case: I still think it'll be around game four.

Here's something to consider. Going into MTSU this weekend all signs point to Buchner as the #3 in spite of the point he's managed the offense better than the other two this fall.

I just hope its a sone deal by game #15....

They must be trying to give Milroe and Simpson every chance to win the job.

At that point, does it really matter?

I said the same thing in another thread about Milroe.

Please don’t say that, I don’t know if I can sit through three games of indecision lol

“Great” to who? It won’t be about big plays. CNS will look at control and decision making. Has CNS ever said a QB played great?

It won't be "indecision" and more evaluation. One game does not a starter make... It'll depend on how each one reacts to multiple situations both on the field and off. I don't think this will be just a field performance decision; however, that may be a large deciding point it won't be the only one. I think Saban and staff want to see how they perform for several weeks of live game prep/performance. Which is just fine by me as I think both QB are good enough to lead this team.

It will be Eli Holstein!!… Saban will have fooled you all… He is playing 5d chess…everyone else is playing triple jump checkers!!… wahhahhhhaaaa!!..

Great to me..I’m not expecting Nick to anoint great on anyone

I said that very tongue-in-cheek, however, I do hope someone stands out early rather than late
