Healthy Ty Simpson unleashed an unstoppable Alabama offense. Watch the tape: his confident, decisive play made them national championship contenders.
There are seasons you remember for what happened… And then there are seasons you remember for what almost happened.
The 2025 season will always be the latter, because if Ty Simpson stays healthy, Alabama is holding a national championship trophy.
I don’t say that lightly.
I don’t say it as a fan blinded by crimson-colored glasses.
I say it because we watched it happen in real time.
When Ty Simpson was healthy, Alabama wasn’t just good, it was terrifying.
Go back and watch the tape.
Not highlights.
Not box scores.
The full games.
Watch the Wisconsin game. Watch Georgia. Watch Vanderbilt. Watch Missouri. Watch Tennessee. When Ty was right, defenses had no answers.
None.
Against Wisconsin, Ty Simpson put on a clinic:24-of-29, 382 yards, multiple touchdowns. That wasn’t just efficient, that was surgical.
He was decisive, confident, and in complete control.
The ball came out on time. The offense flowed. Alabama looked unstoppable.
Then came Georgia. The moment everyone waits for. The measuring stick. 24-of-38, 276 yards, 2 touchdowns.
No fear.
No hesitation.
He stood in the pocket, took hits, delivered throws, and went toe-to-toe with one of the most talented defenses in the country. That was a quarterback who belonged on the biggest stage.
The following week against Vanderbilt? 23-of-31, 340 yards, 2 touchdowns.
Clinical. Calm. Commanding. Ty didn’t just beat Vandy, he controlled every inch of the game.
Missouri didn’t fare any better. 21 completions, 200 yards, 3 touchdowns. Efficiency at its finest. Touchdown after touchdown. Drive after drive. No wasted motion.
Then Tennessee. Another pressure game. Another test. 19-of-29, 253 yards, 2 touchdowns. Again, poised, confident, accurate. Ty Simpson wasn’t surviving games.
He was dictating them.
That stretch right there?
That’s not a fluke.
That’s not “getting hot.”
That’s what a healthy Ty Simpson looks like.
And when he was healthy, Alabama had everything.
Balance.
Rhythm.
Confidence.
The offense opened up. Receivers played faster. The run game benefited. Defenses were forced to respect every blade of grass.
Then November hit.
The numbers dipped. The timing was off. The explosiveness faded. And suddenly, the same quarterback who looked unstoppable looked human. That’s where the narrative changed, but context matters.
Ty wasn’t the same physically.
Football people know it.
Coaches know it.
And NFL scouts absolutely know it.
Because NFL scouts don’t just look at stat lines, they look at film, health, traits, and ceiling.
They know that a healthy Ty Simpson is a game-changer. They know what those early weeks showed wasn’t an accident. They know that when his body allowed him to play free, Ty Simpson played like one of the best quarterbacks in college football.
Alabama didn’t lose its edge because Ty forgot how to play.
Alabama lost momentum because injuries stole the version of Ty Simpson that made this team special.
And that’s the hardest part.
Because the window was there.
The pieces were there.
The quarterback, when healthy, was absolutely there.
If Ty Simpson stays healthy all season, Alabama doesn’t just make noise.
Alabama finishes the job.
That stretch of football wasn’t just “good quarterback play.”
It was championship-level quarterbacking.
History won’t show it.
Box scores won’t explain it.
But anyone who truly watched knows the truth:
A healthy Ty Simpson changes everything.
And the NFL?
They know it too.
Roll Tide.
