Rohan Davey in his first start against Auburn in 1999 was 4 of 11 for 31 yards and 2 INT.
He was replaced by Booty and for two years he was a backup till Peach Bowl.
He did not screw up and get the starting job right away.
One coach lost his job. Next coach was adamant that he was not a good practice QB.
Rohan is beloved now. At that time Booty was a fan favorite.

Booty was a fan favorite in 1999. In 2000 after the UAB game, it was Rohan. The TENN game he played was iconic and essentially made him a folk hero. Had his knee still not been fully healed from a basketball injury he suffered in the Spring he'd have completely taken over the QB spot after that game. Ironically though, Booty came back after Ro was unable to go and eventually played well enough that season to be 1st All SEC on the Coaches' ballot.
And your point about Saban is correct. We hear all the time about our current coach and his inability to pick the right QB...and forget that Rohan basically waited until his RS Senior year before he was handed the keys to the offense... LSU fans seemed to be super happy about that...it was rare to run into a dickhole who, in the face of great times, would have the balls to say something like, "Dammit! He should have been playing the last three years!!!11!11"
