Even then I doubt they get into the playoffs. And, sadly, I doubt he gets fired. He's teflon for some reason.
Agree. Which makes no sense to me because some really good coaches would line up for that job. If OSU embarrasses them, he’ll probably be gone.

I think Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback, is interesting.

He played some games a couple of seasons ago, but this is really his first as a fulltime starter, even though he is a redshirted junior and is going to be a 23-year-old rookie. That is because he has been sitting on the bench behind first Bryce Young, and since Jalen Milroe, so it is not until now that the team is truly his. In an era with NIL-money and transfer portal, I think it says a lot about a players (especially a QB’s) character to stay loyal and wait for his chance.

After Alabama lost the season opener, Simpson has been great the last three games, and it was especially after the last one (a big road win against Georgia) that he got on my radar. Crazy that an Alabama QB can being overlooked, by the way. By all accounts, he is also a great leader of the team.

My first rule when studying quarterbacks is that they must be in full command. It must be noticeable even for a viewer. That they have total control of their army, and that they signal that “it”-factor that no one have ever been able to describe. Ty Simpson has that. I am not sure Murray does, and I want that for my team. Further, he is simply a good player with both great arm strength, technic and athleticism. Sometimes it is even noticeable that he has a very good understanding of the game, in a way that you don’t normally see with college-quarterbacks. He is more advanced than usually at that stage.

Obviously, Alabama will play a lot of great schools, so there will be many opportunities to study Simpson more.

Getting worse for Allar...out for the season with, what looks like, a broken arm.
Leg, but yeah. Some are saying it was his last college game. He's hurt his draft stock, though, and combined with the injury, he may need another year to redeem himself.

Franklin is done, thankfully. No one he comes back next season. They might not even get to a bowl game.

John Mateer is so damn selfish for playing yesterday knowing damn well he didn’t fully recover.

I wish folks would stop acting playing through injury demonstrates toughness when it is selfish.

The injury might have been a blessing in disguise for Allar. Now he won't have Franklin in his head the rest of the season messing it up even more. It will give him some time to remove the greasy grimy gopher guts Franklin planted in there. The more he distances himself from Franklin the better it will be for him. It will be interesting how he performs at the combines and how he interviews with teams.

Several people are thinking this will be an odd year for QBs draft-wise unless something changes. Instead of 3 or 4 being grouped atop round 1, Mendoza stands alone at one. Moore is top 5 unless he has another bad day. On raw ability Sellers is still round one but all over the place. Mateer is end of one or more top of 2. A few have Simpson end of one, but most round 2. Others getting discussed for 2 are Nussmeier and Klubnik.
