Kalen DeBoer is all about finding a playmaker at quarterback for Alabama Football. It’s not exactly a shocking statement—pretty much every college football coach wants a QB who can make explosive plays, especially against tough defenses. DeBoer made it clear earlier this week that he’s not looking for a “game manager.” He wants someone who can step up and make big plays when needed, but without making huge mistakes.

He also mentioned that he and the coaching staff are in no rush to pick a starting QB just yet. They’re going to take their time and let the guys work through the summer before making a final decision. Some people have criticized DeBoer for being vague, calling it typical “coach speak.”

As for the starting QB, DeBoer isn’t holding back to be mysterious—he might just not have seen enough yet. While he doesn’t want a game manager, that doesn’t mean he’s willing to settle for someone who can’t make smart decisions. For quarterbacks, being able to do more than just rely on speed, arm strength, and accuracy is crucial to making game-changing plays against top defenses.
