Might get killed for saying this, but Perry seemed to see his targets and hit them more regularly, at least for one game. King is good, but I'd be lying if I said I was impressed with the O outside of a few games with King at QB. Most of the year it just felt like the O was stuck in second gear, and we were grindin' 'em trying to find'em.
This isn't a knock on King, but on what Lashlee was asking King to do. It felt like with Perry in there, he was just allowed to sling it. With King, it was like we were trying too hard to fool the D to set up plays. Don't get me wrong, that needs to be done from time to time. However, most of the time the best plan is to man up and beat the guy on the other side. We just look like we're trying to be too cute with King in there.
All that being said, I am really glad Perry is coming back, and I was one of his harshest critics. I expect him to either be the starter for Alabama, or being the first off the bench if TVD gets mauled like DBC on a camping trip in Alaska.
