Gibbs to Bama

Yea, they are just gonna lay down and let him have the position.
I have to admit that it would be kind of hilarious if he never sees the field. At GT, he was the BMOC, at Bama, he's just another talented football player. I don't wish anyone any ill will but you make a good point - he isn't the main attraction on that roster.
 
I think he will fight hard to carve out a Kenyan Drake-type role for himself. He may stay longer at Alabama than he would’ve at GT.
 
He’s not getting lost, but he’s not likely to get the same number of all purpose touches.

I think he wants to show off more rushing yards behind a good line for NFL draft potential.

He will very likely take a step back in receptions and returns because Alabama has other 5 star players competing hard for those jobs.

Not getting quite as many touches will likely be seen as a plus for him. He is a weapon, not a workhorse back. Those Patenaude runs straight up the middle were wasted carries for him here. He will get plenty of opportunities for explosive plays, though.

Sometimes I wondered if those runs up the middle where how Pat and Key communicated.
 
They get multiple top-10 RBs each recruiting class. Gibbs is a good player, but ya'll act like he is Derrick Henry 2.0.

He is one of the best backs in the country. Saban hasn't historically taken a whole lot of transfers. Yes, Saban can bring in multiple 4/5 star backs out of high school every year, so he would only bring in Gibbs if he thinks he is special.
 
My wife is a Bammer fan, but honestly, the only time I ever root for sa(t)an's team (and going back to when it was Bear's team) is against UGAG.

But, I like this kid and appreciate his willingness to give GT an opportunity. I will be rooting for him at Bammer in a big, big way.
 
Gibbs will do well there as he'll make them better and Saban will take advantage of his talent.
GT likely to get more positive national exposure just from Gibbs being mentioned as the GT transfer than in next year's GT televised games .
