Why do Bama RBs grossly under perform at the next level?

Former SEC RBs make up 20% of all top 50 NFL rushers at this point in the season. A few UA Heisman trophy winners scattered in there, as well. One of those HT winners has never rushed for 1000 yards in any of his NFL seasons. With the seasons extended to 16 games; all a player needs to do is average 62.5 yards a game to reach that mark.

With RBs from LSU, Florida, aTm, and Georgia scattered throughout; what is it about the "system" at UA that doesn't allow for success of these young men at the next level?

Even Cam Newton, a QB, has found much success toting the rock as a professional.

Because they actually suck. Saban is just that good of a coach to make them look and get them highly drafted.

And that's because he's in a system that hasn't produced a 1000 yard rusher in over a decade.

Crappy teams draft them and don't bother to draft any of the OLine they ran behind?

And he's been in that system for what 7?

I don't know if that spin is going to help you here. Feel free to post RB recruiting posters.

Why does it matter if they over perform in college and win championships?

Well, that's the paradox, my Dear Watson.

It's what we are discussing here.

LSU is the Baylor of the SEC... Beat up on nobodies, to make them feel good about themselves. The teams they have beaten have a combined 9-12 record. Now that's funny

Deuce McAllister was the last RB to do that for the Saints. It's been a long damn time since he was toting that football. Mark was on pace until his injury last year, even in a shitty offense with horrible play calling.

Just more evidence of the outstanding coaching they get at Alabama. Doesn't Bama have more RBs in the league than any other school?

You had one of the most experienced teams coming into the year with a once in a generation running back and the best you can show for it is likely a trip to the Belk Bowl.
