re: Can we now admit there should be an open QB battle under the new regime?

The only way that I could see BH playing over Etling in the bama game would be to line him up in shotgun and throw deep every single play. That's the only advantage that I see BH having over Etling. BH doesn't usually under throw deep receivers. The main problem is that bama wouldn't give BH enough time to let the receivers get down field and would have sacked him or made him fumble, throw into double coverage etc...
