I'm saying that 3rd string QB played a helluva lot better that Dak did and y'all thought he was Heisman material at one time.

I think by Bama standards they are right to think they overachieved as this team was flawed in a few areas and simply not as good as some of their recent teams. There is no shame in viewing it that way as they overcame some of their issues and still won the SEC. More than I can say for my team.....


Early candidate for post of the year. Tell it like it is.

He was the leading candidate for a third of the season. Everyone thought he was a heisman candidate, but nice try to deflect the Alabama loss to something MSU related.

No deflection here, scooter. I was just pointing out that the term "3rd string" implied much less than what the kid is/was during his time on the field. We kicked Dak's arse all over Bryant-Denny, but couldn't handle this guy..understand now?

theres no such thing as overachieving in conference play.

looking at ooc bowls, it looks like alabama did exactly what they should have. secw just wasnt as good as we thought top to bottom.

It's hard to win 12 games with a RB playing QB, Alabama did.

3rd string implied that he is not an elite or experienced QB. Bama let that QB kick yalls arse all over a neutral field.

revisionist.

The Bama yell leader, Finebaum, had Coker as Heisman and Bama all the way.

So are y'all trying to say that we really are the best team and we just beat ourselves on Thursday?

Bama did win the sec . Your team couldn't win the egg bowl.

I'm sure you predicted for Bama to win the SEC, huh? All Bama fans heard was they were a 3-4 loss team. Especially after Ole Miss. Personally, I'd just say they fell short, but achieved a lot. Roll Tide.

well the highest rated talent coming out of HS anyway. I'm not so sure the Alabama defense is all that talented.


This is correct statement. Recruiting rankings are hit and miss. Ole Miss and LSU had more talented defenses than Alabama this season.

Your team couldn't win at Ole Miss either, need I remind you.


Bottom line is the SEC and SECw in particular was much more pedestrian than most thought. Anyone could have beaten anyone on any given day.

This is one of the best Bama flop threads yet.

The consensus here was that Bama was going to cruise in and win a national championship. I love that an SEC championship is a consolation prize this year.

That 3rd string qb would start on every single SEC team.
