A former University of Alabama wide receiver has a perspective on Thursday’s news.
Some fans of Alabama football are concerned with the Crimson Tide getting Tyler Buchner out of the transfer portal as Notre Dame’s former quarterback. Marquis Maze, a two-time BCS National Champion in 2009 and 2011, has no problems with it.
He weighed in on the quarterback conversation via Twitter. Maze feels that despite the Tide having four quarterbacks on the roster, the spring game did not provide us with the player that could consistently get receivers the ball. Maze said ‘there is more to playing quarterback than athleticism and a strong arm.’ He also said Alabama has to throw downfield to keep defenses honest.
Maze has a valid point.
Alabama wants to return to controlling the clock, but it has to create explosive plays too.
We will see what Buchner adds to the team.
