Bama1966 said:My personal opinion is that he can become the starter if JPW falters or gets hurt. I think he will challenge JPW for the top spot this year, with JPW edging him out. We have more than capable back ups IMHO.

We've got JPW now. Star appears to be the guy they're planning on making the heir-apparent, but he'll have to win the job. They won't just give it to him. Then we're looking to recruit McCarron as well next year, maybe redshirt him. So you'd have to think that we're set at QB for a while, assuming the players perform to projections and no one gets injured. Fanuzzi could surprise people and end up getting the job when JPW leaves but neither Star nor McCarron are being recruited with the idea they'll run the scout team. Fanuzzi would have to really shine to get the job IMHO.
I don't doubt we'll be seeing him play for us though. If he's the backup he should get some p.t. Also remember that Saban has shown he isn't affraid to rotated quarterbacks in and out. We may see Fanuzzi in mop up or in certain meaningful situations. Just guessing though.

Where in the hell did you get this idea? Saban would not take JPW out last year even when he sucked major balls.
