So Alabama has this pineapple quarterback who had one good half of football that was by any rational evaluation 75% blind luck. Still, they've elevated him to the greatest to ever play the game, the first truly elite quarterback in their program's history, a three-time Heisman winner and if they could figure out how to spell either of his names, the namesake for a future of highway flagmen and house painters.
They've got this other quarterback who has won a lot of games for them. A year or so ago he was touted as a sure Heisman candidate and clearly the best quarterback in the SEC. Now he's a dirty sock and should move to another position if he ever wants to see the field -- this despite leading the team to 12 wins, directing a late comeback to beat Mississippi State and dominating a first round CFP game against the number one team in the country at the time.
The fans are done with the other quarterback and completely enamored with the one half of football that wasn't nearly as good as they remember it being. (Jeremy Johnson anyone?) The other quarterback's dad vows that if his son isn't the starter, he will become a free agent -- apparently forgetting that *wink, wink* he's not getting paid.
Local media has turned it into a soap opera. I get that it's interesting in some mild way to watch these idiot Alabama fans quiver in orgasmic spasms over Tulio Tingawango while they savage a kid who they'd idolized mere months before, but the way it's being covered by local media disgraces the profession of journalism yet again.
This is how al.com described it:
Everyone already understood the potential ramifications of one of the most intriguing quarterback competitions of our time.
This implies that "our time" is about two years long.
Then al.com took it's customary shot at Auburn while it was fawning over Alabama having TWO once-in-a-generation talents battling for the same spot.
if you watched Auburn's spring game, then you know the importance of quality depth at the quarterback position. Starter Jarrett Stidham was limited to 10 minutes of non-contact seven-on-seven due to offseason shoulder surgery. His backups played in the actually A-Day Game, and it was ugly.

This morning, our local sports talk guy and former Bama beat writer said, "If Jalen decides to transfer, well, so be it. Good luck." And then, he and the callers went on to talk about how soon they could get a statue built for Tonguelakova.

I'm sure he's a great kid and I don't wish him any personal ill will, but I'm hoping he flops at a level Jeremy Johnson and Turtle Mosley can mock.

Greg McElroy never got a statue and he set the bar for greatness.

No, but folks will line up to screw one. Look how many sausages Nicole Kidman's underdeveloped, semi-okay looking self has snagged with her fire down below.
Oh, and screw Bama.
