Ty Simpson would be the perfect Goff backup guy.
You know who shouldn’t be? Drew Allar. He’s ass. Him and Franklin are perfect for each other. Shrivel up in big moments

Got to be cautious with B1G girls.
You never know what you might get. A friend told me that….
@frm710 you should come to T-Town next year when we host you guys again.
Ty is an NFL QB
He looks good.
He processes well, makes good decisions, has good accuracy, good pocket awareness almost all the time, and he can make plays with his legs when he has to.
He’s not small, and he’s a really good leader with good intangibles. Seems to have good poise.
To me, that SCREAMS NFL QB. I’m not saying he’ll be a good NFL QB, but he’s going to get drafted highly if he keeps this up.

Arm strength? Looks good so far.
It’s definitely not bad.
He has no obvious weaknesses to his game IMO.

He also played well in the FSU loss. That game was 100% not on him.
That overturn in the Penn St game was tough
Two things:
I do understand why DeBoer wouldn’t want to just bench Nick Saban’s QB in his first year at Bama.
I also think Ryan Grubb coming back to college has a lot to do with the improvement in the passing game this season.
Ty got his shot in 2023 against USF and showed that he had no pocket presence whatsoever. He’s clearly improved over the time he was on the bench.

Tide got a little to cutesy with some play calling… Need to let that Simpson kid cook. He’s been Lasor sharp.
Horse collar tackle history:
History
In the 1981 NFC Championship Game where the Dallas Cowboys visited the San Francisco 49ers, after the 49ers took the lead 28–27 due to “The Catch”, on the Cowboys following drive, Drew Pearson caught a long pass from Danny White at midfield. 49ers cornerback Eric Wright stopped Pearson with a horse-collar tackle (Danny White fumbled on the next play, thus preserving victory for the 49ers and putting them in Super Bowl XVI).
Roy Williams was well known for horse-collaring players while playing at Oklahoma, and continued to use the tackle after moving to the NFL in 2002.
The horse-collar tackle rose to infamy during the 2004 NFL season, in which it was implicated in six major injuries, four of which were caused by Williams, including two in one game. The injuries that season included broken legs for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith Sr., Baltimore Ravens running back Musa Smith, and Tennessee Titans wide out Tyrone Calico. On May 23, 2005, NFL owners voted 27–5 to ban the tackle, with the Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, and San Francisco 49ers voting against.[1] The first year of the ban, only two penalties were called by referees for the horse-collar tackle. Owners voted 25–7 in 2006 to expand the rule to include tackles by the back of the jersey in addition to tackles by the shoulder pads.[2]
EDIT: watching the Bama/Dawgs game and they just called a horse collar tackle penalty. I was curious about the history of the play. That’s why I posted this in the CFB thread
Everyone does the 4th down thing now. DC does it correctly.
