This argument is so dumb. Have you even attempted to compare Alabama's o-line to Arkansas'? What about their rush attack from last season? It's literally night and day. In addition, don't you think having that defense that completely shut down every offense they played against last year, meaning the opponent's defense had to come right back on the field without any rest, played some part?


Why is it so dumb? Because I didn't rank your Arky boy #1? Lighten up man!! I like Tyler Wilson a lot! I love the way he takes a hit in the pocket. I'm not dissing him one bit. I'm ranking him #2 in the conference right now.

I just like McCarron a bit better. I love how he played on the big stage. I loved how he made plays when he had to even when his receivers were covered.

Just because someone has a different opinion than your "homer" opinion doesn't mean it's dumb. I don't think you are dumb, I just think you can't think with any objectivity at all, which is what I'm doing here.

The objective thing would be to look at their games and come to a conclusion, instead of using a single statistic as your entire analysis. All you cited was pass efficiency in SEC play only.

Wilson can make throws McCarron only dreams of. I'm pretty sure you're being the opposite of objective, saying McCarron is the best just because he beat LSU. Oh and his 'receivers were covered.'

I remember AJ making a bunch of bad throws too, and several of his completions were terrible throws that had to be caught acrobatically by that backup receiver.

It has nothing to do with who you ranked where. In addition, I couldn't care less how some random person ranks some arbitrary thing on an internet forum.

I just think that your reasoning is flawed, and you aren't even considering the scenarios behind those numbers. In addition, I can tell that you didn't watch Arkansas play much, if at all, or else you would have seen Tyler running for his life about 75% of the plays. What is more impressive? To be the best QB in the SEC last season despite having no running game, an extremely inexperienced o-line, and a defense that allowed the other team's defense to get plenty of rest in between taking the field? Or to be a QB that put up decent numbers while having all the time in the world in the pocket, a Heisman-caliber RB in the backfield, and going against defenses that are exhausted because their offense couldn't give them any rest? I pick the former every time, regardless of their name or what team they play for.
