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.

    • Sam Darnold was the 2018 QB. Not Mayfield, Allen, or Jackson. Firing Rhule was the key. Wilks, Darnold, CMC, Rico, TMac, Moore, and Coker would have gotten the job done. Toss in all the extra picks wasted on day one and day 2 project players, and the Panthers have a top defense too.  
    • That’s if you draft the wrong quarterback. Patriots aren’t having to do that. They are straight in year two.  I suppose you could argue that they did draft the wrong one and then built like you said.  The difference is, if that were the case, they moved on from their mistake. That’s what I am thinking about that. 
    • Yeah. That start to his career was about as bad as it can get. In New York, Meat grinder press corps, of the first degree,    When he came here he was on OC 3 - in year 3.  And people in this fan base that think they are smart, could not take that stuff into account.  Now, most of the smart ones are not Bryce Stans but Bryce gets 4 damned years free pass. At least 3  The fail of the organization AND fan base in general, fuging shamefully short sighted,  And the choking thing, players have to fail before they succeed. With very few exceptions. Last year was really his first meaningful, high stakes game. Okay, he didn’t play well. They learn from that, or are supposed to. You don’t throw out a guy with all those tools and with his rocky did him no favors background for not being perfect right away.  He might suck in the SB, but he proved a ton this year.    If we’d have had any patience he was the guy to use it on, not Bryce Young.
