“You're not going to learn a lot throwing the football at LSU, I'm sorry. If he had the right coaching, I like that kid. I remember that kid, he has a gun. Freshman got his chance and they pulled him. That kind of offense that they run, I don't think they read defenses, it doesn't look like they do. LSU especially, they don't really coach them up down there.”
It's as much recruiting as it is development, but there is a lot of truth in that statement. I mean if you had a son who had NFL potential (think 5*) would you really want him playing at LSU? Are there examples of kids maximizing their potential at that position because I can't.
OL, RB, defense? Routinely. Just not QB. Its like Bama with kickers and punters, just not a program strength.

Wait a second, bama has the best punter in the country. Kickers are a different story though

3 of the 5 QBs to start for Les Miles have been drafted. The others, Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson, won the SEC Championship as seniors and were invited to training camp by the Chargers and Bucs, respectively.
Hell, even Russell Shepard, who changed positions is on a 53-man roster.
QB recruiting has been terrible largely because QB development at the high school level in the state is terrible.
Once they get here, the staff does okay with them, but they need time to actually learn how to read defenses after they get here.

Alabama has the best punter in the country. He should have won the Ray Guy Award as a true freshman. Do you JK Scott at all man?

Combined. I wouldn't want my 5 star son going to Alabama. Saban doesn't develop QB talent.

Alabama is no quarterbacking powerhouse. Its biggest success at the position in quite some time is poised to be a bench warmer for his entire career...
Bama Qbs since 1977:
• Greg McElroy (2011 draft): one start.
• Brodie Croyle (2006): 10 starts.
• Jay Barker (1995): zero starts.
• Mike Shula (1987): zero starts.
• Jeff Rutledge (1979): 10 starts.
