Alabama and Georgia have gotten tired of waiting for the fabled “Year of the Quarterback” to arrive in the Southeastern Conference.
This was supposed to be the season that young signal-callers matured and new five-star blood came into the league and quality quarterbacking abounded across the region. Instead, fan bases everywhere are complaining about this guy’s inexperience or that guy’s inaccuracy.
Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide and the Bulldogs have become the two best teams in the conference by finding a workaround. They are taking the quarterback position back in time 60 years, inserting a respected “leader of men,” a field general who inspires his troops with his team-first attitude but in his heart of hearts believes the only yards really worth having come via the A-gap.
