some would say that if the Dolphins would have let him get Brees instead of Culpepper, he would still be in miami.


That's my biggest question with Saban. I have major doubts about his QB evaluation skills. He's recruited two top-level college QBs in 15 years at LSU and Alabama. Those two QBs are obviously JaMarcus Russell and AJ McCarron. Jalen Hurts looks like he'll be the third but the jury's still very much out on him. It's really hard to win championships with Matt Mauck and Jake Coker-level QBs in the NFL. It's not impossible but it's very rare and you usually need a staggering amount of defensive talent to do it (2000 Ravens, 2015 Broncos).

This is just dumb. First off, getting your QB drafted and in the NFL is damn hard. Second, you could argue he go the best out of QBs considering how well all his QBs have played and third, you forgot Joe Flacco, Eli Manning and Brad Johnson won Super Bowls.
