Deshaun Watson and Nick Marshall. But if Burrow is “dual threat”, might as well throw in Trevor Lawrence, Bo Nix and Jordan Jefferson

He was an extremely underrated college QB. That offense was legit at Auburn.

Joe Burrow is a double threat.

So you're saying that if a team has a Heisman caliber QB, they can beat Bama?

Wonder why nobody has thought about this. That's some 3D chess shite there, buddy.

Will be a miracle if Tennessee's QB makes it through the second drive without limping. We know how Bama works.

Glad to know you don’t think an SEC championship counts.

Don't forget Cardale Jones.

Edit to add: also Brian Johnson from Utah in '08

Said when it counted the MOST. National Championship means exponentially more than an SEC Championship.

It's very weird that Bama has struggled more with great QBs having great games. Most teams do better when faced with that right?



What I love most about this thread is that basically everyone in here can name by memory the couple handful of QBs that have beaten Bama in the last 15 years.

Chad Kelly had a screw loose but that dude is the best pure talent Ole Miss has ever had at QB.


It sure helped he had Freeze running that offense as well.

I would of liked to see what Masoli could of done with Freeze.

Well, there have only been 25 losses and 7 of those were in Saban's first year.

If we call the 2007 a misnomer, since then 19 QB's have beaten a Saban led Alabama team. If I add in Cardale Jones and Brian Johnson to the OP then that's 8 dual threat QBs.

And we all know that the only times Bama ever played "alpha" dual threat QB's were those 8 times. So, good job OP. I'm not even going to watch Saturday now that I know we have no chance.
