“I don’t think it’s going to be more than a game before it’s decided and ultimately, I think it’s going to come down to the guy that makes the best decisions,” McElroy said.. “Jalen Milroe’s the most dynamic. He has the most athleticism, and I think he has the highest ceiling. Here’s the problem: There were 16 turnovers last year by the Alabama offense. He accounted for five of them, and he only started one game. So, that is problematic…That’s why I think ultimately it’s going to come down to a two-horse race between Ty Simpson and Tyler Buchner…I think Ty Simpson’s the guy down the stretch. If I were to bet right now on one of the three horses, I think Ty Simpson’s probably gonna be the guy throughout the course of the season. But it all depends on how you perform in fall camp and the type of decision-making and whether or not you can ‘win the team.’
