Are we going to do a "Josh Reed" to Broussard or should the best man play? | Page 2 | TigerFan.com

Remember when Reed was moved to WR. It was obvious for 10 games or so that he was the best WR on the team but he was relegated to the fourth and third WR spot behind Robinson and Myers because they were the incumbents.

Are we going to do the same type of thing to Broussard? Keep Addai and Carey as the starters because they had the job first. Must we lose games that we could win like we did with Reed on the bench? Why can't we just play the best guy regardless of the politics of who is the incumbent? Broussard appears to be the most talented back that we have had since Collins, and he is not an evil headcase. Start Broussard. He is better as a true freshman than anyone we have and he is better than Toefield was when he started as a true freshman.:cuss:

It is amazing how fans are so much smarter than the coaching staff.

What I don't understand is why all these smart fans don't get into coaching and make a cool $1.6 mil a year?

justin vincent is by far the best over all back. he has all the tools. alley is not a complete back like justin. alley does not have the hands and same speed as justin

That works for me. I could use the raise in pay.

Honestly, up until this past weekend, I don't think ANY of us knew how good Broussard was. I mean, I know we all knew he was good and had talent, but I think it's absurd to think that Saban was 100% certain that Alley was the best RB.

Alley fumbled twice in the Arizona game so I think that hurt his
chances for playing time.
Like others are saying, I really don't think its a bad idea to put
Vincent in a wr for some plays.
Its always good to get your best players in the game, Kinda
like Marcus Spears going from TE to DT or DE
