Alabama QBs are the new Ohio State QBs

[JawnyBlaze]

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've said for a while that the Dolphins are held back by Tua.

He simply doesn't have the arm strength you need in the modern NFL.

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.

Did he just claim Tua and Hurts are flops?are you high?

[CRA]

Bama QBs are still Bama QBs.   The error was pretending something changed

Bama doesn’t really get to claim Hurts IMO.  He didn’t figure it out really until he left Bama.

Hurts was the best QB in the NFC last year. He is banged up this year but still solid.

Defenses have figured him out.

Their new OC is running a predictable offense that gets figured out yes.
