Imma be honest, this reads like you have no idea what I've ever posted. I am about as far from a Lashlee supporter as it gets. I also was criticsl of everything you stated namely because even with Lashlee, Tyler still had multiple stinkers. I think your post is more aimed at CIS than anything I've ever said. But to address the Alabamy and fsu portion.
Saban has added blue chip after blue chip to the roster at QB, and I have no idea why he brought Tommy Rees in to steer the ship.
I think he is an absolute idiot for that tbh. fsu is different because, unlike Miami, they were bringing back a proven commodity. I hate fsu to my core, but I think it's reasonable to see drop-off w/o Heisman candidate QB. Even though I think Travis is overrated and won't be drafted in the NFL.
We were a year behind at QB to start the year because Garcia (yes he is ***) would have been the backup and we didn't fill that gap. We should have had a legitimate backup option because our QB showed a tendency to get hurt physically and mentally. I do not think the other teams you listed were in that predicament.
