Saban doesn't guarantee anyone anything. Kid will come in and compete and the best guy will play. All this freaking out is dumb lol

[MrBighomey]

I see Ty Simpson hitting the transfer portal wait and see

[DatBoiDeboer]

To be fair he has talent and is a young guy and knows the playbook

[hikedayley]

Tyler Buchner will be the starting QB at Bama. Mark my words.

[bamashow]

Competition you got 2 other quarterbacks to choose from also. Milroe will still be the guy this season. Saban brought this guy in to push Milroe and get the best out of him. Milroe will win the team and the qb race this spring. 💯

[blakeware]

Outside looking in (Dawg fan hear), this appears more to be a safety valve than anything. I still believe the two more talented guys are already on the roster. If they can’t “get it” enough in this new system to move the ball, you’ve got a guy with experience in the system and he should be ready to go mentally. As a Dawg fan, if I’ve learned nothing from these past two seasons, I’ve at least learned that the most physically talented guy isn’t always the answer. 😉

[jamesjackson]

Coach is a Wizard....he did this to appease the cave trolls, he is in the fellowship of of the rings!

[jaxsage]

As the idiom states, "The proof of the pudding is in the tasting."

[charleskollin]

He is the one with seven national championship rings on his fingers not you guys. And he made the point that no-one separated themselves during the spring after having opportunity to win the job out right so if he wants to bring competition in from the outside to push these guys harder and light a fire under their ass that's his choice to make.

[bamabeachboy]

Saban also knows that one of the two will transfer after losing the battle...so Bruckner so we're not stuck with 1 QB other than high-school kids.

[glennvanzandt]

Because he saw what we all did during A-day. None of our qb's look ready.

[charleskollin]

You guys can all shut the hell up coming at coach saban about who he chooses to bring in and who he doesn't choose to bring in.

[rphillips]

All I have to say is Go Destination 3 peat

[paavoviuhko]

Maybe someone needs to talk to that new LSU coach to find out what is actually going on.

[mizrahimjew]

People saying Tyler Buchner is not going to do well. Can you post of video of you explaining to coach Saban your thoughts?

[jakethemuss]

He knows what is currently has will not get it done.

[victorandrews]

far be it from the likes of me to question a seven time champion but the only reason Nick Saban went to portal looking for a quarterback was that he doesn't currently have one on his roster that can compete at the SEC level... can Tyler Buchner be the one?

[tombrown]

If Saban says we need competition then we need it. I personally thought we had a probable starter between Ty and Milroe. Something is missing so far betwen the two of them so Saban brings it in.

[hattymay]

Look at the Gator Bowl performance against South Carolina. Hes adequate enough.
But also, Jalen shouldn't feel like he needs to go the QB room needed this for clout but also listening to buchner hes chill good smart veteran vibes knows Reese this is a good move that will fuel more fuel cause we will get shi% on cause he ain't flashy but look at Gator bowl.
We are ready to go everywhere else this move along with Keely, Pierre, Young arrivals along with returning injured guys I mean we want fuel we want doubters at this point completely different offseason.

[Rageousss]

Everyone knows Saban is known for using Psychological tactics to set fires under players.

I think this is what this move mainly is about.

It’s to make Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson take those extra strides needed to go on a championship run.

Plus Tyler has 3 years of Eligibility. He gains more from sitting 1 or 2 year at Alabama than 10 years at ND
