ESPN.com on our QB situation

Interesting take.

If grade of C is assigned primarily on the total inexperience of our QBs, though they were 4 stars in recruiting and have been here awhile, then would you expect Bama’s grade for QBs to be higher? Their’s have not had meaningful experience either. Bama hasn’t even chosen a starter yet; to hear Saban speak of them, they are all too inconsistent as yet.

They should not be graded higher than ours.

They are, but not much. Bateman has a little more experience than AA, and that seems to be the difference:

That might make sense if Alabama’s starting quarterback had won the job on merit rather than being the least worst. They have had problems getting anybody to stand out.
