Title: Re: Rumor is Post by: 2Stater on September 15, 2023, 01:49:42 PM That Bama will start ND transfer, Tyler Buchner vs USF. Wow! I figured if Saban put somebody else in, it would be Simpson.

I really thought Simpson would have won the spot outright in the spring. I have a feeling he will be headed to the portal if he doesn't play this year.

https://www.al.com/alabamafootball/2023/09/alabama-football-starting-tyler-buchner-against-south-florida-per-reports.html I'm glad CNS saw what we did in the TX game, and acted. Don't know what this means for Simpson. The QB competition isn't over so he needs to hang in there. But I agree, if Buchner holds on to the job, Simpson is probably gone to the portal -- maybe before the season is over.

He is such a good athlete, I hope they can make use of that. But we all saw it, he is not our best option at QB. Title: Re: Rumor is Post by: pmull on September 16, 2023, 07:27:29 AM I am glad to see the change. Milroe is not a sit in the pocket and find the open receiver player. If Buchner does not pan out (and I hope it does) we will need to change the offense to suit Milroe's skills. He may be a decent read option guy who runs (designed runs and not scrabbles) the ball 15 times a game.
I think we are all disappointed Simpson is not working out. Our qb room will look much different next year any way this turns out. Title: Re: Rumor is Post by: carl childers on September 16, 2023, 10:21:09 AM Is this going to make the OL better? I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the move, but Milroe was running for his life against UT.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the move, but Milroe was running for his life against UT. This nails it.Unfortunately, it does. I know USF is a sub-par team this year, but I would really like to see improvement, not just with the O line, but also the D line and secondary. All were exposed by Texas last week. If Buchner can show some poise and accuracy, maybe he will be our guy. Anyway............... :popcorn2: Title: Re: Rumor is Post by: N.AL-Tider on September 18, 2023, 09:29:26 AM From what I've seen in our first three games, I'd have to say that Milroe IS our best option at QB. :(
