AJ gets no respect. He won 2 NC and is one blown coaching decision away from winning a 3rd. He was not the most physically gifted QB at Alabama but he was a better competitor and smarter than most of these QBs under Saban. He could make all the throws and rarely made mistakes.
AJ
Tua
Bryce
Mac and then the rest.

If you look at their college numbers AJs is right on board with Tua and Bryce. AJ was at a 67% completion percentage and had over 9000 career yards.

He's at the top of my list. Jake Coker doesn't get enough love either. He became a playmaker. That rollout TD throw against AU, making a couple of guys miss? One of my favorites of all time. I don't recall him sliding. I don't recall him running out of bounds. Not afraid to throw a key block. Grew up dreaming of playing for Alabama. Looks (a bit) and talks (a lot) like Elvis.
What a fricking stud.
My list:
AJ because championships matter. He's the only one with 2.
Tua saved the season, the greatest play in Bama football history to win the natty
Mac Jones. Most dominant Bama team offensively ever. Did everything asked of him and was elite in college. Natty
Jake Coker - what a chad. Natty.
Bryce Young. Elite player. Both seasons ended in disappointment. Not sure about his leadership. Did beat Auburn twice.
Jalen Hurts, saved an SEC championship, handled everything with class. Everything you want in a Bama guy. No Natty.
Grec McElroy...probably doesn't get enough love. Didn't do a lot in the title game, but balled out against Florida. Natty
Blake Sims. What a fun revelation. Great season. No Natty.
JPW - 2008 remains one of my favorite seasons, but it ended without hardware and an embarassing loss to Utah.
Not ranking Milroe. His story is unfinished.

Not disagreeing with you, but one could say something similar about McElroy. The guy did win an SECCG MVP. I'd have him above JPW.
