Alabama QBs are the new Ohio State QBs

Alabama was the OSU of QBs before OSU was. OSU had what, 2 or 3 guys who were good in college and didn’t pan out in the NFL? And those weren’t even drafted high if I recall correctly. Tua and Hurts are changing to perception of Bama QBs, but OSU’s perception was all media manufactured. If anything, the college that deserves that perception is USC.

Hurts is going to break all of Cam's rushing records lol. If "Cam is going to the HoF", Hurts "will too". All he needs is an MVP. He has the Super Bowl loss.

If Hurts plays like he did last year for another six or seven years, he’s in the talk. Rushing records and the MVP aren’t the only thing that Cam has there. Carrying a barren offense for so many years with inept coaching is probably the bigger accomplishment and Hurts hasn’t had to face that yet.

I'd like to counter with ... Heisman Trophy winning QBs are the new "insert something bad here".

2023 - Jayden Daniels (we'll see!)

2022 - Caleb Williams (we'll see!)

2021 - Bryce Young

2019 - Joe Burrow (the real deal if healthy)

2018 - Kyler Murray (meh)

2017 - Baker Mayfield (double meh)

2016 - Lamar Jackson (the real deal)

2014 - Marcus Mariota (oof)

2013 - Jameis Winston (nope)

2012 - Johnny Manziel (lol)

2011 - RGIII (pretty good announcer)

2010 - Cam Newton (2015)

2008 - Sam Bradford (nah)

2007 - The Golden Calf of Bristol (hahahahahahahahahaha)

2006 - Troy Smith (who?)

2004 - Matt Leinart (sucked)

2003 - Jason White (seriously ... who?)

2002 - Carson Palmer (decent enough I guess)

2001 - Eric Crouch (woof)

2000 - Chris Weinke (isn't he like 65 now?)

 

So yeah ... ask yourself why most of them won it. Could it have been their ultra elite top tier team they were on? Was Young simply a product of a GREAT college team? All I know is ...

Josh Allen - R1/7

Tua Tagovailoa - R1/5 (jury is out)

Aaron Rodgers - R1/24

Joe Flacco - R1/18

CJ Stroud - R1/2

Russell Wilson - R3/75

Patrick Mahomes - R1/10

Justin Herbert - R1/6

Dak Prescott - R4/135

Jalen Hurts - R2/53

 

And of course ...

Tom Brady - R6/199

Drew Brees - R2/32

Matt Ryan - R1/3

Ben Roethlisberger - R1/11

Peyton Manning - R1/1

Eli Manning - R1/1

Jared Goff - R1/1

 

And ...

Brock Purdy lol ... R7/262

He's already broken one. Maybe more? But yeah, Hurts has a better team than Cam ever did outside of 2015.

All I know is Tua is a mental midget and I would be buyer beware to hand him a $50million a year contract

I don't think he's a mental midget, but he is very limited physically.

It'll be the death knell of that offence if they sign him up to a $50m a year contract.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
