A lot of Saban players are quietly having good careers.

Too early to tell on a few studs(Richardson/jones). One went total retard(rolo). One is in a system not suitable for him(Ingram). One had a bad start but has been consistent recently(Kareem Jackson).

Milliner is a cant miss stud. Kirkpatrick will have a long career.

A few others but I'm tired to list everyone.

All have played well so far, and their teams are happy with them. Ingram is gonna have a good year this season with CSP back, he loves Mark. Cody hasn't been bad, but probably wasn't worth a second rounder. We're just now getting into the thick of the process, so Saban hasn't even really begun to push out talent yet. Look at our offense right now based off of projections :

AJ McCarron - Probably a top three QB in the draft at worst next year, could go in the first.

TJ Yeldon - Right now him and Gurley look like 3 and out first rounders.

Amari Cooper - Projected as a 3 and out first rounder.

Cyrus Kouandjio - Projected as a first rounder.

OJ Howard - Who knows, but if he lives up to the potential he could be the top TE in his draft class.


Then on D we've got guys like HaHa/LC26, Mosley, DePriest, Hubbard are three starting LBs who probably wouldn't be available after the second round, Pagan has had early first rounder whispers. Saban is just now getting into groove, he's been here longer than he's been anywhere else and he isn't leaving any time soon. The four a year streak will end soon, but only because he's pushing out more talent.



TLDR WE STACKED YALL frickED ROLL TIDE, KEEP GUMPIN, ETC.

I've never understood why so many fans take it to heart when a player from their school doesn't pan out in the NFL, especially when he was a major contributor during his college days.

Do I want them to succeed? Hell yeah.
Do I cheer for them? Hell yeah.
Do I get a chip on my shoulder when they aren't all they were cracked up to be? Not really. They did their part in college and kicked arse. Nothing they do in the NFL will take that away.

Just my .02.

It's commonly believed amongst Saints fans who don't double as LSU fans (can't keep from hating MI because he went to Bama, CSP LOVES him for a reason) that Ingram is gonna have a good year if used right this year. What that means is don't bring him in for just one or two plays and have him run straight ahead and then leave. Give him and PT whole drives if you want to get the best out of both of them. This shite where we swap them every other play is retarded.

It's well known that college practices are more physical than NFL. NFL players have representation and are worth a lot more than college kids on scholly. I wouldn't doubt that Saban has about as physical of a program as anyone in the college game.

Billick is spot on.

you laugh, but Ingram is the type of back who gets stronger as the game goes on. His number of carries is synonymous with his success as the game unfolds. at least that is what was proven during his time at Alabama. The Saints offense doesnt allow him to do that.

As I have already posted, there are first hand accounts that Saban's practices arent that physically demanding comparatively speaking.

He should produce when he's given the ball. Unfortunately he doesn't. BUST

I kind of wish you'd stay confined to the Tiger Rant. You are a horrible poster so far.

He's not Adrian Peterson, you can't expect him to produce when for the longest time literally all we did was bring him in for one or two plays in a row, AND IT WAS ALWAYS THE SAME PLAY. Once we changed it up and kept him in longer he played BETTER. It's not a hard concept to grasp, you're blinded by your hate for him being a Bama guy.

Yeah apparently he isn't an alt, or the help board topic would have cleared that up, but still I can't believe they cleared him if they did a post quality review. The SECr's survival depends on everyone cleaning up the act.

NFL teams are leery of players from bama? Lol ok. Bama is going to set a 3 year span 1st round record tonight.

Saban's first full recruiting class is entering their second or third year in the league. Ingram is the only one that has consistently struggled with nagging injuries. Brian Billick went full retard. If coaches are leery of Alabama players there ain't a hillbilly in Tennessee. Sounds like Billick is going out in a limb
