Alabama QBs are the new Ohio State QBs

Mac Jones, Tua, Bryce, Jalen Hurts... all of them looking like flops. Mac is terrible, Bryce looked like the worst QB in the league, and Tua has one of the best amounts of talent in the league behind him and can't get anywhere in the playoffs.
 

We got fleeced by a school that repeatedly pumps out limited prospects

QBs coming from dominant programs warrant a lot of extra scrutiny. They're enjoying a huge advantage that they won't have at the next level. Namely that their surrounding talent won't be head and shoulders better than the opposing team's week in and week out.

Do you not even see a little irony in that this exact same argument was being made of why CJ Stroud supposedly wasn’t going to work out in the pros?

System QBs that can't carry poo. Will look OK in a perfect situation but lean to hard on them and they snap. Don't care about the school, it's all in their evaluations if you don't have blinders on. You can win with them but if you get a chance upgrade and never look back.

I wouldn't say Tua and Hurts are flops.  Future hall of famers, no.  But not flops.  

Fwiw, I don't think any Ohio State qb has ever won a superbowl.  Three bama qb's have won a super bowl, Ken the Snake Stabler, Bart Starr, and Joe Namath.  Its been a while since it happened.  

It certainly is easier to succeed and look great at schools like Alabama and Ohio State.  So maybe their college results should be taken with a grain of salt.

Tua and Hurst aren’t flops. That’s just a silly statement

Draft the player not the school. LSU had a loaded team around Burrow. Stroud’s team was loaded as well.

The loaded teams just make it a much harder evaluation IMO. You gotta try to envision what this guy would look like if the talent surrounding him wasn't hands down better than the opposition week in and week out and that's tough.

    • I disagree with a lot of those rankings, 07, 04 and 13 are too low. It’d take too long to redo it but I’d have fun making my own. 
    • We have to be bottom 5 in the league at draft success. It's miserable to look at that. So much to the point that I had to stop reading the list when it got ugly - which for me, was #3 lol. Yes, Cam was a homerun but also number 1 pick. The rest of that draft...yikes.
    • I swear if I see one more idiot that posts something like this and doesn't check what year I joined this forum... He literally averaged less than 3.5 ypc the year I created this profile and had some really bad fumbles that cost us games. Yet... this organization thought it was a better idea to keep giving him the rock than give CMC more touches his rookie year. Pretty sure everyone on this forum with half a brain cell knew he was washed... Sorry, everyone except you. You said we need (what I presume to be) an elite TE if you want us taking Warren at eight to address "Bryce's glaring needs". We just invested about 150 million in the oline and he had one of the best olines last year. It isn't really realistic we keep spending every dollar we have and every high draft pick we have on offense while our defense continues to set records for futility. If we trade down and take Warren in the 20s, I can live with it. Using a top 8 pick on a guy I have a late 1st round grade on while doubly not drafting at a position of need is the kind of crap I expect our front office to do sadly. And you say Kelce, Olsen, and Witten aren't getting open on athleticism yet fail to mention that all 3 of them are/were elite route runners t. Warren's route running is not great (as of right now) and is something he is going to have to work a ton on. Those 3 dudes also got drafted nowhere near #8, which really argues my point of you can find good tight ends in later rounds. This draft is very deep at tight end. At the end of the day, I think Warren is closer in current ability to tight ends along the line of Kincaid, LaPorta, Freiermuth, Hunter Henry, etc. than he is Bowers, Pitts (up this high because of freakish athleticism), and Tony Gonzalez. Those 3 justifiably should have been top 10 picks in the draft.
