Alabama football has multiple quality quarterbacks on their roster for the 2020 season, but Mac Jones needs to be the starter in Week 1.

Alabama football has had its fair share of quarterback battles over the Nick Saban era. Phillip Sims almost beat out AJ McCarron, Blake Sims made Jake Coker sit on the bench for a year, and Tua beat out Jalen to become one of Alabama’s most successful quarterbacks ever. There will be another battle in 2020, but I believe that the winner is clear.

The two true competitors are Mac Jones and Bryce Young.
