    I would transfer too. You get one chance to play college football. I’d rather go somewhere and play than stay at Alabama and watch. If you want to impress pro scouts, you can’t do it from the bench. Especially at qb, where playing time doesn’t get shared, getting stuck behind another pro prospect is a terrible position.

    And please don’t say anything about “loyalty”. There’s no such thing in college ball. Nick Saban wouldn’t think twice about cutting a kid who’s not good enough, so a player shouldn’t feel beholden to the program either.

    I guess if you sign with Alabama and don’t start it is off to another program. Good thing Sam Darnold stuck around.
