🏈 Thoughts on the new QB(s)

[Fishintide]

While most of us are obsessing over who gets the first snap against Wisky, and who might share snaps in the first couple of games, the real drama should be about who is under center in early October. And what effect would a loss or two have on which QB(s) finish the season.

I honestly believe that it is very possible for the early guys to have played themselves out of the picture by season's end, and that we will see one or two younger guys as the primary QBs, battling for the right to become THE man in 2016 any beyond. Yes, I hate taking this approach to things, but realistically having the Tide navigate this schedule unscathed is not realistic IMO. Hope I am very wrong on this.

My feeling is that the greatest chance that whomever starts the Wisky game, Coker or Morris, will be the starter the entire year. Doubt we ever see Barnett during the year.

We would have to see several guys at the QB go down to season ending injuries for Saban to use Barnett I believe. I think that Morris/Bateman can navigate the first 3 games, one of them sees it all the way through much like AJ in '11.

I think we'll see a mix of the non-redshirtable guys in the early games. It may only be one or two against Wisconsin, but MTSU and LA-M will be an opportunity to experiment.

I honestly believe it will be 2 to rotate (at this point Morris and Bateman/Coker) for the first
Couple of games. Barring meltdowns or injuries for both of the rotatees I do not believe you will see another QB until 2016.

There's always Charleston Southern
