This is STILL going. Jeez. Again, watch how many Bama players are taken in the first round next year to see if NFL execs really believe this. No team will have more players taken than Bama

It is still going on in large part because the bammer tards are so defensive about it. Part of the reason it is such a successful troll

Because in their minds it is impossible for anything Bama to fail or lose.

There has to be a balance. If someone posts something that is completely untrue/spin then you would expect others to respond. You can't just declare something a successful troll if it elicits responses. If I posts a thread that "Malzahn players suck in the NFL because they run a finesse offense" I am going to get responses not because it is a successful troll but because it is not true. If I post a thread that "Auburn is the second most sanctioned program in NCAA history" I am going to get responses because it is true and thus rustles API jimmies creating a successful troll.

If you look at how many of his players have been drafted and how few of them have truly become stars or pro bowl players, the idea that Saban players have been overvalued by the NFL could not be more true

As opposed to who? Is there a college coach just churning out pro bowlers I'm unaware of?

Alabama has produced more solid NFL starters than they have busts. That's the cold hard truth

When you are putting a greater absolute number of players in the NFL as Alabama is currently, you are inevitably going to have a higher absolute number of busts, just because of the random nature of the draft.

Overall though, Alabama has not had a significantly different percentage of their prospects to go on to become busts.

Look at LSU. They have produced great players like Patrick Peterson and Dwayne Bowe. They have also produced players like Jamarcus Russell and Mo Claiborne.

If Auburn put more players in the NFL, this would be more apparent to you.

Yet we continue to put players in the league at a torrid pace including the most first rounders over the last few years.

How'd that #1 draft choice qb that you barners fawn all over look last night against Mark Ingram and the Saints? Talk about overvalued. Gus's best player evah!

Id like specifics about how Bama players are "overworked." Regardless, not Bama's problem.

The problem is with steroid and PED testing in the NFL. Too stringent.

It's just more evidence that Saban is the best coach in the game. He makes all of these average players look like pro bowlers. He understands how to get the best out of his players. Bryant never filled the league with pro bowlers, either. They are just great coaches.

I guess Eddie Lacy is wore out too, you AU posters surf the net trying too find some UA trash, and that is what is posted on this board Trash, What about Mclain for Dallas, He just leads the team in tackles, I guess they would be doubled if he was not wore out,
