Bad luck? Nah that’s a consistent pattern. Gunner Kiel too. For 2 3/4’s of a year they trotted out Ian Book. That’s not good enough. An elite QB could have possibly won them a title, I feel like they would have had at least a playoff win. Even when BK hit on a guy(Kizer) he still turned the QB position a shit show.
Listen here flyers boy,… you’re not allowed to make sensible posts here
Everyone gets enamored with the physical traits of quarterbacks when it's the mental side that determines their success. Buchner just doesn't have that part, neither did Wimbush or Jurk. The best guys mentally we had under Kelly (Rees and Book) were limited physically. Getting a guy with both the physical and mental side is very difficult.
Important to note that Simpson was the guy that Tommy offered and tried to get before he gave Angeli the greenlight to commit. Obviously, Ty didn’t give AF. As he committed to Bama shortly after.
You can add Crist to the list. I maintain that there is some element of bad luck. Check out the committable offers from Crist, Kiel, Wimbush, Jurkovec and Buchner. Every single one of them had a bunch of offers from powerhouse programs and were all highly rated. Book was not recruited to be the starter. Notre Dame has consistently recruited highly rated Qb's but they haven't panned out, for various reasons. Book was the starter after the previous QB's flopped. He was recruited as a backup. QB recruiting is the biggest crap shoot of all positions. The only big mistake was getting Angeli instead of Allar imo. The rest, as mentioned above, was unlucky in many respects and regardless of who the OC or QB coach was in place.
Pretty sure it's not luck when it's this consistently bad. This is what incompetence looks like
It’s almost like the guy in charge of their offense may not be that great. May just be a talent problem though, haven’t really followed Bama’s recruiting. Is it any good?
247 has them as the most talented team in the country
Yea except at QB and OC. I am thinking a 3 loss regular season. Oh I feel so bad for Saban....LOL
So none of it is actually his fault he is bad at football. Got it
if the offense requires the quarterback to pass the ball then he won’t be successful.
Correct. That’s the least of his issues. You’ll never actually know if he’s bad at football because - and I can’t stress this enough - no one could overcome as many things working against him as he has.
What’s that guys name? He should be cancelled haha.
It definitely was.
