Title: Bama QB battle

Good article by a guy who hasn't been wrong yet.

So to recap I see the quarterback battle of 2020 at the Capstone, Jones starts the season, Taulia gives the transfer portal a hard look, Bryce Young could be the starter at some point of 2020, Jones returns to being the capable backup and Tyson becomes the insurance policy.

Pretty good guess of the future at Bama.  I think all of us expect Mack to be the starter against USCw.  After that depends on their showing at spring and fall practices/scrimmages.

I feel like that's roughly the opinion of any average fan.

So, he's not 'Old Joe', he's 'Average Joe'?  :lol3:

Sounds about right, although I don't see Saban switching to Young unless "Average Jones" really starts messing up.  Kinda like he didn't pull out Tua until the Natty.

I think this will be a great battle for starter, and then a bigger battle for back up. RTR!

At any rate, I will be surprised if either Taila or Bryce enters the transfer portal before the end of next season.  Jalen and Tua basically set the standard in that area at Bama.

What is the ceiling on Mack Jones?  We don't know.  It could be very high.  Maybe so high that no freshman can get up to it.  The real battle may end up being for the #1 backup slot.  Honestly, that's what I'm hoping for.

I don't see Taulia and bryce both on the same team for 4 years or even 2 years. RTR!
