It's one of football's oldest axioms that a team will go only as far as its quarterback will take it. That should once again prove true with the 2008 Alabama Crimson Tide, which returns a highly productive third-year starter and a host of talented-yet-inexperienced backups under center.
Projected starter
John Parker Wilson (6-2, 213, Senior)
Wilson has been an enigma during his Alabama career, putting up numbers never before seen in Crimson Tide history. He's set school records in attempts, completions, yards and touchdowns in each of his two seasons as a starter, yet has posted just a 13-13 career record.
The Hoover native seemed to lock down his starting job with a productive spring, his first under new offensive coordinator Jim McElwain. Ever since his high school days, Wilson has been at his best when utilized in a short, controlled passing game, and McElwain's schemes seem better suited to Wilson's skills than the downfield attacking passing game favored by former coordinator Major Applewhite.

Perhaps it should be noted that JPW is only as good as his recievers.

It should also be noted that He has had pretty darn good receivers. Or why else would he be so close to breaking so many passing records, Matt Cadell, D.J. Hall, Kieth Brown and some others as well. Stoney you have to remember all the crazy catches they made to make JPW look good on paper. We will see just how good the receivers will make him look this year hopefully like Unitas.

Tyrone Prothro... if he hadn't got hurt JPW would not be 13-13.

Ah yes Prothro He was great but what if does not apply it's what you do with what you have and JPW has not done every good with the receivers that he has had. Yes he has a lot of passing yards close to a lot of records but look at how he as faced adversity that is why he is 13-13 as alabama's QB.
