Impossible to say how he would have performed anywhere else. He could have been much better against inferior competition or he could have been worse with a lesser supporting cast. More than likely he's in the same position as now. Part of the discussions without a clear number 1 

I think a big factor is the exposure. Everyone who watches college football is aware of who QB’s Alabama. They are televised. They play in big games. 
 

It certainly builds opinion. 
 

Had Josh Allen QB’d in the SEC he’s probably not dropping out of the top 5 players in the draft.

Outside of Tua has there been an Alabama QB drafted in the top 10 in the past couple decades? Who are our other options? The OSU QB, or the other 2 SEC QBs?

He’s not the #1 prospect to me regardless, but where he went to school doesn’t affect anything if you watch a QB closely. Unless you just never see them in any trouble or anything, but that pretty much never happens. You can always find indicators. 

I meant more brand recognition and exposure. In a similar way, this being the board for a team in the Carolina’s, everyone loved them some Sam Howell a couple years back. People here were more aware of him. Watched him more. Likewise everyone watches Young. That’s kind of what I mean. 
 

Evaluating the tape is why he isn’t my #1. Disregarding his size too. 
 

He’s too physically limited for my liking (outside of size), but the mind and feel for the game is legit (or seems that way).

 

If he was his size but faster, or with a laser for an arm, I would get more excited, but he just screams late 1st/early 2nd type guy to me if he wasn’t college footballs darling.

Yea, I mean the exposure is something you can’t take deny helps perception.  That’s why sometimes there’s a diamond in the rough out there no one has heard about.  Not much we can do about that, just gotta trust your team’s scouting department is thorough enough. If he was at Boise st or something and still on the radar and performing like he did, I’d still say he’s a top prospect. If Stroud weren’t in this draft he’d be my favorite QB at #1, because even if he is a bit physically limited, both in stature and in strength, he’s still very gifted and very good with the football. He’s not weak or noodle armed, just not top tier in that department.  He has other strengths that compensate.  He’s not as good a thrower as Stroud, but he’s better than most that have come out the past few years, in addition to the smarts and unplanned playmaking.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      In January 2014, I posted this on another forum.  Seems like it fits again:   Do you remember cheering for the rain? Trying to sleep after “The no-call”? Do you know who needs to "Ice up, son"?   Remember pleading for .500? Thinking there’s no catching the Saints? Punting to Buffalo and knowing how it was going to end?   Do you remember how you felt about Kalil’s ad? Or the fan’s follow up? Gruden’s interview with Cam?   Do you remember Clausen being the steal of the draft? Will you ever forgive Mel Kiper?   Did you cry as Jake said his goodbyes? Do you remember the game that cost Gruden his job?   As fans chant “Luuuuuuke,” do you still hear “Moooose”? … “Hoooove”?   Do you recall changing the diaper? Paddling the boat? Being happy just hearing the name Smoot?   Do you recall the day when it hurt to say “Keep pounding,” and you felt you’d lost a close friend?   Did you hunt the net for Bojangle’s commercials? Have you seen a Cajun’s bare butt?   Do you remember the sunken feeling when Smitty was caught from behind and didn’t get up?   Sports Illustrated’s prediction?   Were you angry at Janet for stealing the spotlight? Does “X-Clown” still give you chills? Do you sing the wrong words to “Day-O”? Whenever you hear “He Hate Me,” do you also hear Rosinski finishing the sentence?   Did you like Seifert a little less when he let Walls’ streak of games-with-a-reception end? But nothing compared to letting Steve go, right? Do you remember that invincible feeling you had when we won the first game of 2001? Do you recall who our division rivals were?   Do you remember thinking “Just wait ‘til Bazooka’s healthy”? How about that weird grin you got watching Kevin Greene fire up the D? Or being undefeated at Ericsson?   If your answer is “no,” we happily welcome you as a new fan of our beloved team. Trust me, we’ll be happy to explain all of these and more to catch you up. For the rest of you, it’s been entirely too long since we were alive after week 17. But every question that you answered “yes” to makes this all the sweeter. Welcome to the playoffs.
