He would have been a first round /pro bowl linebacker if Saban used him correctly.

Why make him play a position he's not interested in?

I still see the word "drafted" in the post. I feel like that's all that matters.

And to think, all he'll have to show for his time in football will be fame, individual awards, millions of dollars, national championships, an NFL pension for the rest of his life, and the knowledge that he achieved all of his boyhood dreams.

A tragic story, really.

He wanted to play RB. I know several teams offered him as a LB, but he chose Alabama, because saban told him he would keep him at RB. If he is mad, he should be mad at himself for insisting on playing RB. On the other hand....if he makes it as a RB, then he should be happy Saban allowed him to play there.

He's got Demarco in front of him with a shitty OL; so I doubt we see much production from him as a rookie.

We will see soon enough; but the OL he had last year may be better than the one he has next year.

Yea it was a horrible landing spot for him. He needs a team that will commit to him being the workhorse.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, Monti. And I'm not about to spend two hours arguing how bad the Titans are.

Saban Derangement Syndrome. As bad a case as I've ever seen. You can tell, because the main symptom is acting like a huge bitch whenever Saban comes up.

Corey Webster was a WR who had zero desire to play on defense. Saban told him if he wanted to play in NFL he would have to convert him to a DB. He was a All American national champion, pro Bowler, and Superbowl champion.

Your prediction of 5 Bama players going in the first round has done a number on you.

LOL Your biggest win of the year was 6 Bama players going in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft. Reek University.

I love it when random posters suddenly lose their mind and go on tilt over the strangest things. It's been fun to watch your Bama draft melt. You should start a blog.
