Do you think Ty is better than Will Howard and/or Carson Beck? What about Arch Manning? Just curious as to where you think he ranks amidst some of the guys that have won a NC, are still playing for one, and are coming back next year for a team like UTx (with fans having a bit mixed reactions but hopeful).

No, but 5 star “generational talent” Julian Sayin was on the bench at OSU while 5th year starter (6th round pick) was winning the NC. True sophomore Julian Sayin went 0-2 in post season the next year. Seems relevant

First year starting QBs that I have watched win national championships at Bama:

Steadman Shealy...1979
Jay Barker...1992
Greg McElroy...2009
AJ McCarron...2011
Jake Coker...2015
Mac Jones...2020

Jalen Hurts was 2 minutes away from being on that list.

Most of our national championships in my lifetime have been won by first time starters. It may not be ideal, but history says the team can be hugely successful behind a first time starter...who is well coached.
