Two very different situations. That era of bama football ('03-'04 ish?) aren't in the same conversation talent wise. I think if Morris had to run his teams, I'm thinking it would have been ugly. Hard to say how Pennington would have done with this group... Didn't he start as a third stringer the season he won the Music City Bowl? So I guess Morris is pretty comparable.
If it were 2009 and handing off to Mark Ingram against all the "regular" offenses in the SEC would be good enough, Morris wouldn't be as bad an option. But this is 6 years later and scoring points is a must. I'm sorry but with the talent on this team, anything less than a playoff appearance is a disappointment. All around this is an incredibly talented team in so many ways... But QB happens to be an enormously important position. That position can and will decide who wins the national title... Morris was punting last Spring... Goodness gracious.
