I think some of us are jumping the gun in the natural QB development dept. If Nico didn’t transfer he would be going into his 3rd year as the starter and GMac would be the backup. So what’s the difference with JA?? The process for GMac should be 3rd string in his 1st year, win the backup job year 2, year 3 start. If you put up big numbers go to the draft if not still have 2 more seasons. And the same process for Faizon.

At some point a coach is gona have to evaluate hs qb much better. Using you scenerio. Mac if he is good you only have him for 1 yr

From what I have seen from Nico he was just an average qb. And that’s all he will ever be

FAIZON is on campus, will participate in spring and summer practices. He'll be 6'4" /220 by the time the season starts and could very well be the best QB since Peyton/Tee or Hendon. Fact is I don't know and neither do you. But at some point next year he will start. Go look at his film. Throws an accurate deep ball with air under it unlike pineapple UCLA boy, he can wing it and zing it. See's the field -has a high football IQ and is fairly fast. We need a QB that is 2 dimensional and a serious threat to take off.

Here's the receipts of when you wanted Nico over Milton. And thought he deserved a shot.

Unfortunately in College football players that make plays get to play-players that can't sit! PERIOD. As far as Joe waited for this or whatever? To heck with that noise if he can't make the plays -time to move on. Nico was a 5 star, let him get a shot.

The truth then and now is that there's no way a true freshman starts for Josh Heupel. I'd bet Trevor or Jalen or Tua would not have started.

There's little chance Faizon is better than them.

That "stop gap" threw for the 4th most passing yards in school history with about 120 days on campus before the season started and almost no time at official practice.

Having the worst defense in the SEC is why we didn't make the playoff last year. Not Joey Aguilar.

Don’t forget to add in Hooker and Milton. While you’re at it, add in Nico since he was the QB on start that led us to a playoff.

It’s the system; not theQB.

They aren’t endorsing Joey to go after the NCAA to be a backup. If Joey is back, Mac might as well get his agent looking around because it’s Faizon as the future.

JA is going after the ncaa cause it’s his best chance at making money. He’s not a nfl guy. Has very little to do with the universities needs

I think the evaluation is spot on. Year 2 they’re RS Freshman & should be QB2. So that’s 2 years of eligibility when they should takeover as starters not 1 and if they’re great they can leave after 1 year. Merk for instance got his opportunity to be a multi year starter last offseason. JA beat him out. In my scenario GMac was QB2 regardless because had Merk won the job last offseason this wouldn’t even be a topic.

Ty Simpson could play another year for Ala. He’s an excellent QB and apparently Bama is ready to move on from him and play a younger player next year. Why is it so hard for people to look at Joey and accept Tenn May have better talent waiting in the wings. Simpson had no running game and led Ala to the 2nd rd of the playoffs. Im thankful for Joey’s time here but he’s had 4 years and has probably reached his peak. Going 4-4 allows me to think we have just as good if not better options awaiting. Apparently if Bama is not willing to pay Simpson, they think they do to.

Joey lead the SEC in passing. If you think he, or the offense in general, is anywhere close to the reason for our record, idk what to tell you.

Why do you think a 17-year-old high school QB could make us successful going through a 9 game SEC schedule? I believe we will be in big trouble if we start a freshman. That only works if you have a roster full of 4 and 5 star players on both sides of the ball.

Tell that to Lamar Jackson (but, in general, you are correct).

I think when u talk about NFL draft it can’t be just 1 good season, it would have to be 1 great season where the QB played at an elite level. Otherwise he’s going back to school and trying to improve his film
