Title: Saban: Two quarterback system possible
Post by: MDB Tide Roll on April 20, 2011, 08:40:27 PM
Nick Saban noted following A-Day that he and his staff not only had 29 fall practices to make some personnel decisions, but perhaps two or three games as well.

On Wednesday, the University of Alabama coach made it clear that goes for every position, including quarterback.

With sophomore A.J. McCarron and freshman Phillip Sims performing to a relative statistical draw in spring scrimmages, the question of who will lead the Crimson Tide offense in 2011 may not have a fully-formed answer when fall camp ends. And Saban acknowledged the possibility that the two could share time at the position.

"Until somebody separates, I have no problem (playing both). I really don't," Saban said. "I like both guys, I have confidence in both guys, we have confidence in both guys and I think our players do. ? Both guys were effective, both guys played well. Statistically you can look at it and cut it up all kinds different ways. I think just from a leadership and an execution standpoint, both guys made a lot of progress, both guys did a good job and we're going to continue to develop both guys. If they can both play winning football, then they both should be able to make some kind of contribution to our team."

I like the idea of having that much talent at QB. The thought of playing a 2 QB system sounds like we could run, pass, trick play, or short punt anytime. The chances are so great, I wonder what everybody else thinks about this one? RTR!
