every year it’s the same for Bama. The problem is most Bama guys just don’t pan out in the NFL. 

Their QBs, and DBs tend to fall into that trend, the WR / OL / DL / LB / HB tend to translate over consistently overall -- You could include their S's as well in most cases regarding some NFL success.

They get beat up.  You can blame some of that to the SEC and who they play, but the way I have always heard it most of their players get beat up in practice more than they do in the games.  Then they get to the NFL and they are just not the same player anymore.  Not all of them, but alot are like that.

I'm a little late on this as I was out to lunch and a walk in the park with the fam but the Minshew market is certainly heating up as there are a couple of teams that have made an offer to Jacksonville for him. 

Also, when I asked my guy about Sam Darnold he said "No one has literally any idea lol" 

So that's nice.

Was coming in here to ask what you thought about Oweh sneaking into the 1st round now, but you're already ahead of it

I knew that he was gonna measure well, but lawd almighty 😮

Yeah that is insane. Same with Parsons, we were expecting like 4.46 for Parsons.

I admit to you being more in the know than I, but in the past pro day forty times have been about a tenth of a second off in favor of the players due to the fact they aren't electronically timed. Does this still hold true?

    • We beat Atlanta by 30 in the first meeting
    • The situation here was the doing of David Tepper.  Frank Reich didn't want Young, he wanted Stroud. Stroud fit his QB mold better than Young. So yeah, he didn't design an offense for him. He was lied to by his boss and he didn't want to be here. Would you? It sucks for Young, but as I said, that has nothing to do with his terrible footwork, poor mechanics, his shitty drop backs, fumble issues, not bothering to look off the Atlanta safety that turned into a pick 6 by his own admission. Those were all things that had nothing to do with Frank, the OL or the rest of the team.  And Houston wasn't a complete team. They had the 2nd pick in the draft because they sucked. They built a team and had a damn good HC that I wanted here but he refused Tepper's interview.  Young has been protected in ways no other QB has. Dalton has been kept because he has never been a threat to take the job from Young. We signed him to a 2 year deal this offseason when it was clearly evident we needed an upgrade. For 2m more per year we could have and should have looked at Brissett if we didn't go after Howell, Russell, Winston or anyone else. Anyone else other than Dalton would have been a serious risk to take Young's starting job. If Young hadn't been the 1st overall pick, and been a day 3 pick instead, he would have been cut as a rookie. If he were on any other team as a starter, this message board would be laughing like hell at whoever was starting him for 3 years. That's why this team gets murdered when Young doesn't play. He's been sheltered from ever having to worry about his job and the QB room proves it.  I've been extremely critical of how this team has been constructed the past 3 years, especially on offense. But this whole narrative that Bryce has always been good enough and it's everyone else's fault that he's not succeeding isn't matching up to what he's been putting on the field week in and week out. 
    • He sucks to be honest. He hasn't made much of a difference at all.
