He will because of where he plays.

Do you believe NFL GMs & Coaches draft Alabama players even when said picks aren't in the best interest of in the future success of their employer?

...being a good or even great college qb doesn't make you a good pro.

Fact!

Go back and look at 1st round qbs... they don't make it much either

That is a very true statement. It also kind of proves my point about the system. Everyone loves to point out the Big 12 systems but Bama has had some very average guys play the position and because of who they played for they are over inflated going into the pros. You still need to be a bigger guy to play at a high level in the nfl at qb because you get killed every week.

Yes I understand that very well. I'm saying wasting a first round pick on a qb is pretty much a waste of money.

Most of the time, yes, but if you hit on a josh Allen, it was worth it. I think taking chances on qbs is worth it even though the bust chance is much higher than all other positions

If it's a kid who played at Bama vs a kid who played at State or Southern Miss with the same skill sets, I believe they do. Perception is a helluva thing in sports.

Yeah it's definitely a "what's your philosophy" deal on who to draft but the averages are way against getting a big time qb in first round same as rb. Better to spend your resources somewhere else. And obviously it's it's my opinion which means nothing lol

[msstate7]

Georgia's qb came back bc he had no prayer at a top 5 round pick even after winning a natty

Fair enough. While I don't completely agree, I do appreciate your position.

Syracuse defense trying its best to blow this

Just awful coverage the last 7 minutes. Receivers running wide open.

[Commercecomet24]

And now Purdue being stupid gives Syracuse a chance

[msstate7]

Come on Garrett Fitzgerald

[Cowbell]

You can't say Kiffin is bad at coaching or player development without having on your maroon colored glasses.

Come on Garrett Fitzgerald

[Commercecomet24]
