Good question. A mix of coaching and inferior talent at the position IMO.

Mostly because we haven't had that much talent at the QB position in quite a while.

Because they don't win rings?

The best QBs in the NFL: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers. 0 college titles.

Can they just not recruit any elite nfl type guys at qb? I heard a guy on Bo Bounds show the other day who was talking about how terrible bama qbs have been in the league.

I think AJ will be at least a decent NFL QB. Other than that, we just havent had the type of offense that attracts blue chip QB prospects. Things are obviously changing for us though.

If AJ doesn't under throw his receivers against A&M, Bama would have won. No Bammers want to analyze that game tape.

AJ will be atleast decent. Brodie was slightly below decent. Joe nameth was pimp. Kenny stabler was pimp. Bart starr won the first two superbowls. Compared to other schools we do pretty good. O, and we play team ball in college better than anyone.

Ok brodie blew, but he was injury prone.

Seems like people try to find things wrong with Bama just cause they're Bama and there isn't much to find fault with.

Considering that there are only 32 starting NFL QB's, only 20 or so of whom are "decent", very few programs have produced "a decent NFL QB" in the last 10 years or so.

For the record, our last 3 starting QB's have each spent multiple seasons on NFL rosters. AJ will make that 4 in a row. Nothing special to brag about, but very few college teams can say the same thing.

If it hasn't already been said...


It's because a qb at Bama never has to develop. When you've got NFL level offensive line and running backs and receivers, and NFL level defense all around, you don't have to carry your team at quarterback, you just have to be serviceable and you are going to look good at Bama.

FYI Alabama has produced more Super Bowl winning QBs than any other school.
