I doubt any bammer cares about my opinion on the subject, but as a card carrying premium member of Aldeer, I'm going to give it anyways.

Anytime a team in the SEC starts a true freshman QB, it can mean only one of three things:
A. The kid is better than anybody's wildest expectations,
B. All the other QBs suck something terrible,
C. A combination of some A and some B

In this case, I think it is probably C, with leaning more towards A than B.

Yes, I'm wearing my orange and blue Captain Obvious cape right now. Seriously, if Saban is going to start a true frosh QB, the kid has got to be good.
