Another Injury! A QB This Time

[Marshal Dillon]

Cecil Hurt and Phil Savage both have said this week that the injury to Coker is minor and they expect him to be the starter against Wisconsin. The bigger unknown is if Coker can perform and hold the position.

Alec Morris is getting a lot of reps during media viewing which is a very short time each practice. I have heard he is a game manager but lacks the skills of the others but has the support of the players. I think Morris and Cornwell are fighting for the back up spot which is very important if Coker can not win/hold the job or gets injured.

I think Barnwell will redshirt.

In other words, we will know something for sure on Saturday September 5th in Arlington, Texas.

hey MD I am not sure we will know then if we have a starting QB. I think Jimbo Fisher was blowing smoke the whole time. I wouldn't hang my hat on anything he says. RTR!

Honestly, I think if Bama runs the Henry-cat and the Drake-cat every snap this year they win every game 98-0.

I know somebody that would be very happy with that................ALL OF US!!!!

Personally, I think the whole thing about the Alabama QB is overblown. In 2008, who did we have? John (Happy Feet) Parker Wilson. We won 12 games and nearly won the SEC against a great Florida team. In 2009 who did we have? A guy from Texas with an average arm but solid moxie named Greg McElroy. All we did was go undefeated, win the SEC & the National Championship. In 2011, we had a skinny sophomore who led us to NC's in 2011 & 2012. In 2014, we had a lot of concerns and ended up with a slightly above-average QB with a lot of heart and we won the SEC. Like I said, I'm not really worried about the QB.

I agree completely.  This time last year nobody thought Sims would be the QB, and he turned out to be a little better than alright.  It's been the same every time we've replaced a QB since Saban arrived. During the fall practice no one establishes himself as a superstar, the fans scream that the sky is falling. In the first few games the new QB goes through some growing pains, the fans scream that the sky is falling. Then the season ends with Bama one or two wins from the national championship...and the fans start screaming that the sky will fall next year.

I don't know about the sky falling, but what happens if a Freshman starts this year? What a future we would have knowing we have a Heisman type guy was playing QB. RTR!

At least we would probably be set at QB for the next 3 years, if Barnett becomes the starter. We wouldn't have to go through this again for a while.

I imagine the coaches know more about who is going to start than they are telling the media and the players. It is a valuable asset to have competition at every position. Players work harder and it makes everyone better.

FYI -- I just looked out my window and the sky is still up there.

Not sure what this means about the QB situation....

  It means the position has not been resolved yet...

Coker will start and throw 2 TD passes against Wisconsin. No need to worry.

 , gotta give ya an e-cred for being bold KoKoPuf. I think you might be off a little though, I am not sure but I wonder if Blake don't get the starting nod because of his athletic ability. Our run game will punish Wisconsin if the coaches don't go away from the run like they did in the playoff last year. JMHO. RTR!
