Arr! Cap'n Saban o' Alabama compares seekin' a pirate quarterback to yer ol' grandma's cookin': "Let th' cake bake!"
2023-07-19
Arrr! Alabama's Cap'n Nick Saban be sayin' he'll let the "cake bake" with the quarterback spot, like a fine treasure awaitin' its true worth. Forsooth! Young sailin' off to the NFL, but fear not, me hearties, for Cap'n Saban be plannin' a grand search for a worthy successor!
In a pirate's lingo fit for the 17th century, let's set sail to the quarterback situation at Alabama, me hearties! For the past two seasons, they've had the mighty Bryce Young, a Heisman Trophy winner who led the Crimson Tide to the national championship game in 2021. But alas, Young has been snatched up by the Carolina Panthers as the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Arrr, that leaves Alabama with a question mark at the quarterback position as they head into the 2023 college football season.According to the wise Captain Saban, they have three scurvy dogs competing for the position. But none of 'em has truly separated themselves from the pack yet. No need to be in a hurry, says the captain. Just like waiting for a cake to bake, if ye take it out too soon, it'll be as mushy as a jellyfish. So the crew must let this situation develop and see who emerges as the true captain of the ship. All the players be workin' hard and competin' well, so it be a fair fight.
Among the contenders, we have Jalen Monroe, who was Young's trusty backup last season and even started a game when Young was injured. There's also Tyler Buchner, a transfer from Notre Dame who started the 2022 season before gettin' injured himself. And let's not forget about young Ty Simpson, a redshirt freshman who threw a handful of passes in 2022. Aye, the competition be fierce.
But fear not, me hearties, for Alabama's season kicks off on September 2 against Middle Tennessee State. We shall soon see who will take the helm and lead the Crimson Tide to victory. So let's raise our grog-filled mugs and cheer for our favorite pirate crew, as they navigate these uncharted waters with their new quarterback. Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum!
