    Coach, I heavily respect your
    Opinion but Key’s issue vs Louisville was his WRs, not him.

    I am convicted that Key is a more natural passer and QB prospect than Tau

    I’ll bet you $100 bucks today that Key is drafted higher. Tau is a more athletic Kellen Moore and pushes the football. Once SEC’s do work on him, things will get tougher

    Both Hurts and Tau are better than Fitz, but Key is more talented than both ceiling wise.

    Want to bet?

    Key doesnt step in tonight and do what Tua did. Key had his shot in the Egg Bowl and turned the ball over a couple of times and lost- against an OM D. Tua did for the NC against a good Georgia D. Sure- I'll take your $100

    I disagree. I think Key does every bit of what Tau did tonight.

    I think Bama was prepared to play Tau, while I don't think Mullen was prepared to play Key. That alone is the difference IMO.

    Key is bigger, steps up into the pocket better, & has a more natural arm stroke than Tau.

    You're on. $100 bet that Key gets drafted higher than Tau as a QB. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat crow.

    I love Key and 100% believe he will be drafted- but Tua is the better prospect right now and likely continues to be

    I respectfully disagree.

    There is no comparison IMO as to which guy has a higher ceiling in throwing out of a well in the pocket.

    There are a million guys out there that have the talent to do that. The ones who can do it, while remaining composed, checking off receivers, looking off safeties, while a true freshman in his first significant playing time of the year in overtime of the national championship game? You can count on two hands the number of quarterbacks able to do that. You saw one of them last night. To say Key is better than him is beyond retarded. Respectfully, it's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read.

    This is the only thing I agree with you on. Key was not ready to play in that EB

    Have you lost your ever loving mind? Did you watch the same NC game that I did?

    Tau throws as pretty of a pass that you'll ever see. Did you see what he just did on the biggest stage versus what Key did in the Egg Bowl? I'm not down on Key, but you're WAAAYYY off on this one!

    You'd squelch on the bet if Coach took you up on it anyway, so it's all a mute point.

    Tau pushes the football. He in absolutely no way throws the ball like an NFL QB.

    His 2nd TD pass was thrown to another guy & Ridley cut in front & his last one was to a wide open guy.

    Key is more talented at the ingredients that make NFL QBs successful.

    Do you want to bet as well?

    To add, this has nothing to do with who is more talented & who is the better draft prospect. It's just an insignificant point that confuses evaluators.

    Yes, Tau is currently more advanced. My guess is that he received more coaching, camps, etc than Key did at a young age, but Key has better ingredients to be an NFL QB.

    If you don't believe me, just wait and see.

    Also, please call me out when I'm wrong. If I'm wrong, I want the entire world to know.
