Kalen DeBoer needs a quarterback. Now, who's it going to be?

Alabama took a turn for the worse in DeBoer's first season, despite him inheriting a proven starter in Jalen Milroe. The position heads toward an uncertain future. Ominous or opportunity?

On today's episode, Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network is joined by Chase Goodbread of the Tuscaloosa News to unpack Alabama's quarterback situation, one of the most interesting position battles of the SEC's offseason. Ty Simpson headlines the competition, but is that a good thing? Did DeBoer blunder by not securing a transfer?

Later in the episode, the hosts highlight what they'd change about the expanded College Football Playoff.
