I'm going to make a bold prediction right now that next year Nick Saban will increase the workload for both quarterbacks, in a split, and say that his reasoning is that the way things happened last year, if the same happens this year and we have an injury we want to make sure we've got two guys that have rapport with the offensive players instead of one.
When asked if they are in an open competition Nick Saban will say stuff like "Well, the best guy is going to play no matter what." and he will act like the media are idiots for pretending that this "competition, i guess if you want to call it that" is any kind of a big deal whatsoever.
When asked specifically about Daunte he will say "When Daunte is healthy and able to play Daunte Culpepper football, he is our starter" and he will just refuse to answer questions about whether Daunte is now or will ever be "healthy and able to play Daunte Culpepper football".
If I had a dollar for every time he utters the words, "In this league, you need two quarterbacks, not just one" then I will be a rich man.
And, in a way...he'll be right for acting like everyone are idiots for making a big deal out of it. Because, it will be what it will be. Daunte will be healthier, he already looked like our best quarterback in camp even with a lame leg, pretty much all the players and coaches were in agreement about that...he'll be the starter until/unless something happens. What that 'something' is, is anyone's guess.
