There are many questions looming over the Alabama football team as it heads into the 2023 season, but none is more significant than the quarterback position.
Crimson Tide fans have been spoiled over the past few years with NFL franchise-caliber talents Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones and Bryce Young.
Coming back down to earth was never going to be an easy transition, but fortunately, the Tide have some really talented guys on the roster. The position battle remains open among any of the guys with a fair chance for them each to win it. Tide fans were hoping to have some clarity on the position by the end of A-Day, but I think there were more questions than answers coming from the scrimmage.
After a lackluster spring performance across the board, Nick Saban brought in former Notre Dame quarterback, Tyler Buchner, to compete for the job. While it’s likely a three-man race for the job, five guys will get snaps throughout the summer. Rees and Saban have no pressure to go in any specific direction, and I trust they’ll pick the right man for the job.
Below is my assessment on the five guys competing for the QB1 position.
