Unless we plan on tanking he is LT depth the next three years. I don’t see any way we can have him as a starter for such an important position.

None of our QB's will survive if he is LT for the next 3 years.

Serious question.

Who is the last Bama O lineman to make a name in the nfl? I feel like bama has produced a number of lineman busts.

Cam Robinson.

I know that Bama players used to not succeed in the NFL bc Saban burned them out in college. Recently, Bama players have succeeded well: 

Julio, Ingram, Cooper, Henry, Ridley, Bozeman, Humphrey, Eddie Jackson, Mack Wilson, Jarran Reed, Ashawn Robinson, Ryan Kelly, Ronnie Harrison, Drake, Minkah, Hightower, Dalvin Tomlinson,  Mosley,  Josh Jacobs, Barron, Rashaan Evans, Collins, Payne, Jonathan Allen

Bama OL do seem to have a high bust rate. Then again, so do USC WRs but Juju looks pretty damn good. So do FSU pass rushers but Burns looks promising.

Rough rookie season continues. How many O line combinations does this make for the season? We need to look for a left tackle yet again this offseason. We cannot depend on Little to last an entire season and play at the level we need

Little is beginning to reek of Jeff Otah.

   No one is talking about all positions. Just OL. 
 

And Cam Robinson is an awful example for someone being good. He’s sucked or injured his entire career. Bozeman was a 6th rounder and wouldn’t be considered a bust no matter what. And starting doesn’t playing well. Kelly is legit but that might depend on what you expect from a C at 18 overall. 
 

   So that’s one, who took until this year to make his name. Before that. Chris Samuels in 2000. 
 

Now I gotta go see if any the current ones can hold up. Headed to Iron Bowl.

Wisconsin OL guys usually pan out.  I think two went in the first five rounds last draft and we passed them up.  Pretty sure one or two are coming out this draft, but if Hurn-dog is still around, they will be on some other roster.

Wisconsin OL is the reason you should never draft a RB from there---they are awesome, as are many from some other Big 10 schools and Notre Dame.

Funny, but I lack confidence in OL from Alabama.

Agreed. No way we can look at him next season as anything other than depth. 2nd round pick or not he is just not performing, or staying healthy. 2 concussions aside it looks bad and factor that in...we are back on the hunt again for a Gross replacement.

I’ve pointed out before that this dude was a consistent under-performer at the college level in the SEC.

For any GM/coach to believe he would suddenly come into his own at the most elite of levels and actually trade draft capital to move up and get him was the very essence of wish-casting.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
