Tana actually made an impact though. He forced the fumble on LSU’s opening drive in 2013.

Can't really include Harris and Foster.


One bounced around the League for a few years abs the other is currently there.

Was the best recruiter for the 08 class and his teammates loved him. Will always respect BJ Scott

He looked so athletic too. Was pumped when he signed with Bama. Mystery to me why the light switch never turned on for him

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^ that was the dead give away last year that Ben was a complete bust. No extra punt/FG team nor punting team. I not sure Ben would be able to start at Livingston.

Let's take a closer look at these guys

BJ Scott


I still love BJ Scott. He was instrumental in helping build momentum for Saban's first recruiting class. He may not have panned out, but he's still a great Bama ex that I have to see people talk badly about.

quote:

Robert Foster


He had a few injuries. But he just never developed like expected. It's definitely a shame.

Robert Foster


Yeah. frick that entitled prick.

No. Tyler was soft and more concerned about his fraternity than football

I thought he wad gonna be the next great and I thought he played really well in the UA AllAmerican Game. I guess he was too soft and coddled his whole life for Sabans coaching.

I don't think it's fair to include him here. I think his last 2 years would have been more productive if we had a QB like Tua slinging it.



You can say that about 95% of the wr in college football history though...

I think that one of the most used narratives on here is "_____ would have been so much better with Tua," even if the player in question just plain wasn't that great. Its not really untrue, but you do raise a good point. Tua could probably hook up our walk-on WRs with 1,000 yard seasons.

Drop Foster off that list. He contributed far more than the others and was poised for a breakout year before being injured against Ole Miss. Tyler Love is much more deserving of being on the Mount Rushmore of busts alongside Scott and Carter.
