I firmly believe we make the 2011 NC with Tyrod. No way we lose to Clemson with 5 running the offense.
So 4 QB's from th SEC drafted since 2005 are making an impact in the NFL. The ACC has at least 4 drafted that are doing well just since 2009.
and several others carrying the clipboard or injured.
well, it works one way and it doesn't not work the other way. ;-P
Perhaps I'm alone, but if Nike doesn't show us the $$$ that Whit wants to see, I would love for us to go with Under Armour and stay far, far away from Adidas.
I'm on your side, Quailman.
I'm a big fan of AJ McCarron, he was actually winning games for Alabama as opposed to just sitting back and letting the defense and the running game do all the work. He is currently the backup behind Dalton in Cincy so who knows if he could turn out to be a good NFL QB or not, I definitely watched him make a lot of NFL throws in his time at Bama.
Can blame Stafford? I mean he plays for a terrible Franchise and still puts up great numbers. I mean, the best WR in our generation, Calvin Johnson, is just wasting away in that city.
Manning has 2 Super bowls and Cutler is actually having a very productive year!
I know right,
someone said it earlier and I agree, fans in general need to temper their expectations for Freshman, this cant be all of them but maybe, NCAA had a list of comparison for true freshman starters, I think its only freshman starters, because I know more true freshman QB's have played, this table only has 18, so Im assuming its true-freshman QBs who are considered the starter?

If thats true, which, honestly I dont know if it is, but if it is, that would mean there were only 18 true freshman QB's who won the starting job in 12 years...it just doesnt happen, the jump in level of competition from High school to college is huge, I think Andrew Ford's a good example (I still wish he had stayed), smart kid, looked like one of the best QB prospects from a throwing standpoint we've had in a while on tape, it took him 2 years to really get up to college speed just in practice
Or as he is better known as Noodle Arm!
Yea a QB who played in the 97 season??
Uhhh Peyton Manning....
When did Newton, Cutler, Manning and Stafford all get drafted? Newton is only one in recent SEC days to actually be having an impact at the next level. The SEC in the last 10 years has not produced QB's on par with their rankings as the "best conference"
You can blame Tyrod and Vick for that.
If this is a big visit weekend and if my intuition is on at all, I bet we see an awesome Alex Koma article coming soon
Cam Newton is kind of good. Eli Manning 2x Super Bowl Champ, Jay Cutley (attractive wife), Matthew Stafford, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Tannehill
The last two are iffy but I don't see it as an SEC problem
Edit: Ok so Gabbert and Tannehill were in another conference. That's what I get for a quick google check
Guerry should just roll with Sandman17 next year and just change the twitter handles. It works and you get a BOGO deal on the slogan.
Tannehill and Gabbert were at A&M and Mizzu while they were still in the Big XII.
It's like sex, still counts no matter how long you're in!
The SEC as a whole is becoming an NFL QB graveyard. They don't produce NFL QB's.
That's probably a bit of an overstatement. There are currently five starting NFL QBs from the SEC (Newton, Stafford, Cutler, Eli Manning, Manziel,) and several others carrying the clipboard or injured.
correct. It works either way.
I'll grant you Cam of course, Eli, Stafford are only two and they both were drafted in what mid 2000's. Tannehill and Gabbert both played mostly in Big 12.
As a former D1 basketball coach, I disagree with your #2, you are assuming that SL's coach talk of his mental side is directly character related. That's an extremely shallow thought. We don't know the kid on a personal level to make that assumption. It could be just as much as him having trouble grasping and implementing the concepts issue as it is a 'character' issue.
You very well may be right that the kid has some growing up to do, BUT implying that the definition of 'coach talk' in regards to the 'mental side' is character related is an extremely uneducated sweeping generalization of coach talk.
I agree with you that I hope it isn't character related and that he has a bad attitude. Honestly, I think his HS coach being brought aboard has more to do with them being a package deal under the table in order to seal the deal. I'd be willing to bet this type of action happens significantly more than we think.
Either way. I am pumped about the talent we have in the stable for QB and it's going to be exciting to see who emerges from the pack and blossoms under CJF.
You're the kind of guy who slows down to almost a stop to look at a fenderbender on the other side of the road during 5oclock traffic on a Friday aren't you! You sick son of a B*... J/k!
A&M fans are pretty mad right now. If Murray doesn't live up to expectation, Sumlin's seat may keep getting warmer.
