Alabama football boasts an impressive quarterback group, according to Kalen DeBoer, the team’s head coach. Speaking to reporters after the first scrimmage of spring practice at Bryant-Denny Stadium, DeBoer highlighted the quarterbacks’ performance as the standout aspect. He praised all four quarterbacks for their excellence and noted the absence of turnovers. While Alabama aims to enhance its pass-blocking on the offensive line, the quarterbacks demonstrated the ability to efficiently execute plays and deliver the ball to receivers. During the scrimmage, which consisted of 85-90 plays, DeBoer observed numerous touchdowns scored by the quarterbacks. He emphasized that each quarterback adhered to the system and contributed with their plays.
Regarding redshirt junior Jalen Milroe, DeBoer commended his consistent performance, describing him as ‘super consistent’. Milroe’s dual-threat abilities, combining speed and passing prowess, have allowed the coaching staff to tailor play-calling to his strengths. DeBoer noted Milroe’s increasing comfort with the offense, particularly in the passing game, and praised his decision-making and ability to move the chains effectively.
DeBoer expressed satisfaction with the quarterbacks’ overall performance, highlighting their precise throws, adeptness in maintaining plays, and sound decision-making. He emphasized the absence of turnovers as a positive indicator and praised their ability to place throws where offensive players could compete for them, resulting in several impressive touchdown passes.
DeBoer and offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan have developed an offense that promises excitement for the Crimson Tide, with Milroe continuing to impress as the primary quarterback. However, the depth and talent of the quarterback room as a whole indicate a formidable unit for Alabama.
