Alabama fans have strong opinions on latest video of Crimson Tide QBs
The Alabama quarterback competition is an ongoing three-man race for the starting job. With the start of the 2023 regular season just weeks away, fans are looking for any and all answers as to who might be in the lead at this point.
It was originally between Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson, but then the coaching staff landed a commit from Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner. Head coach Nick Saban has embraced the competition and said that his players have too. However, he refuses to give any clues regarding the status of the competition.
The Alabama football program recently distributed a video featuring a series of clips of the quarterbacks. Mike Rodak of 247Sports shared the video to X, formerly known as Twitter, and fans shared their thoughts.

Strong throws
The zip both milroe and Ty have on the ball is impressive https://t.co/6lxLn3U9jm

Analyzing the arm strength
Milroe really is the worst one. No pop on any of his passes…. Ty Simpson season. https://t.co/on6wFHQNxf

Is Milroe the key to a championship run?

Everyone has their preferences
I like Ty Simpson tbh, Milroe has yet to impress me other than his sheer physical stature https://t.co/V1xjmUMUKB

Andrew has a favorite
Simpson continues to look the best out of the 3, imo https://t.co/bXXzQfce6w

Based on the mechanics in these short clips, Simpson is QB1 to some fans
I dont like Buchners release, jury still out on Milroe, Ty Simpson looking like qb1 to me https://t.co/FDSX2lEUma

Interesting observation
I’m perfectly okay with Milroe starting, but I’ve seen 3 of these videos and each one Milroe looks like he doesnt care. https://t.co/dbcHHDQqTy

Some Buchner support
Buchner looks decent. I realize this is just warmups not too bad tho. Simpson mechanics are getting there. Milroe is all athlete https://t.co/kl0Y3jmPUY

Not a big Buchner fan
Simpson throws the best ball..
But I'm guessing Milroe's athleticism puts him slightly ahead.
I still dont understand why they added Buchner? https://t.co/30RsTqMWRe
