Mac and Tua won’t be starting for much longer
you're a retard. Tua just needs to stay healthy, he's one of the better qbs in the league, led the NFL in QB rating this season. Mac got fricked over by Belichick losing his mind, but it looks like he realized his mistakes. Bob isn't the best oc, but at least he is an oc

Former Bama QBs won the first 3 Super Bowls.

Namath is a cultural icon. His impact transcends just stats. People try to emulate, but never have. People say he threw a lot of INTs...true, but it was also a completely different era of offensive football.

4 former Bama QBs starting in the NFL at the same time will be pretty cool. The only program that might have had that happen before is USC with Palmer, Leinart, Sanchez and Cassel. I think they were all in the league at the same time and just assume all 4 started at the same time at some point maybe.

I disagree with Mac but if Tua continues to get injured the way he has in the past couple of years he needs to hang’em up.


I cringe every time he gets hit. I love the dude and he has a ton of heart, but I'm afraid he's going to end up punch drunk and braindead.

Bama had a bunch of quarterbacks in the NFL before Bear went to the wishbone which kinda took them out of the future pro QB ranks for a while. Starr, Namath, Kenny Stabler, Richard Todd, Jeff Rutledge just off the top of my head.

When Bryce gets to whatever team drafts him, Alabama will have 4 starting QBs in the nfl. That’s an 8th of the entire NFL. Absolutely amazing.


Not really. At one point Washington had Moon, Brunell, Chandler, and a few others who started at the same time. Washington had a streak from late the 1970s to early 2000s where every QB who started more than half of season ended up in the NFL.

Bert Jones had some great seasons. Unfortunately injuries piled up & ruined his career.

Saban doesn't get enough credit for changing over the years. The whole program has made changes as the landscape of football has evolved

Meh, not sure Bryce is a starting QB in the NFL.


His height is a concern but what he did despite absolutely horse shite coaching and lack of support on offense was incredible. I think he will at least give his team a chance to compete and make plays.

That coaching won him a Heisman. Can you actually speak without going into extremes? Pete Golding was much more the issue, but you wouldn't know that.

By the time he's out of the current concussion protocol, the dolphins will be playing the first game of the season. And I'm not talking pre-season.

“tuna”..that’s so creative and at the same time hilarious. Bryce will be a great pro and the teams making moves in an effort to have a shot at drafting him seem to agree. He is likely going #1 overall
