Not trying to make this a race thing but obviously Alabama as a state has a long history and perception. How many starting black QB's had Bama had all-time? I want to say there was one in the early 90's but most of those years were intentionally deleted from my memory due to the Hallman era. I also remember a WR that may have played QB part-time (and eventually full-time). Have there been any that were recruited with the intent of being a starter that ended up earning the job for the better part of one year (i.e. not just as an injury replacement).
Good thing you are not trying to make it a race thing. Get over it bro, I hate Bama as much as the next LSU fan, but this is stupid.
Yeah, I hesitated even asking the question but someone was telling me that Bama never had a black starting QB and I told him I thought there was at least one or two but couldn't actually name one (except for that WR that's name escapes me). I don't think there's been one since I started college in '95 but could be wrong. I know the Bear was ahead of his time in race relations so not trying to knock Bama. Just curious.
Well I got mixed up and forgot the Simms from NC's first name (I just looked it up and the guy's name is Phillip Simms.)
BamaOnLine.com - Notebook: Harris staying, Darrah going, Jackson could follow The crowded depth chart has led to open speculation that Jackson might transfer this season to give him a better chance to play, which the 20-year-old did not dispute. "I mean I ... this is the game I'm worried about," he said. "That might come up, I'll think about it, but right now I'm worried about the national championship." When asked about a specific school, Jackson didn't comment.
