re: Eight Million Dollar Man Nico Iamaleava...

Is that his real last name or an invented name?? Seems like something you read on a note card.... "don't call me, cause iamaleava town first thang"

So does Alabama have nothing but 9 star players? Or nothing but 2 star players? Your post is confusing.

I think it's about a 1/4 chance

I mean all things equal between 4 guys equals a 1/4th chance

If we are talking top 10 I think Nico has the best shot of those guys if we are looking at it just based on what we know today.

If Ewers had gotten good feedback from the NFL he would have gone this year. He is losing some key offensive weapons and playing a tougher schedule.

Beck I think just wanted to come back and was given a great NIL deal, but there may have been a bit of the same thing on the NFL feedback too. He is losing the best CFB TE ever and some other weapons that were really underrated, and playing a tougher schedule.

Dart is a curious case, though I think there was a bit of the NFL feedback thing here as well. He played a pretty tough schedule but didn't exactly always light it up.

I'm trying to be objective on Nico here, but obviously I am biased... if you look at his build, the throws he has put on tape so far (albeit in very limited action), and the mobility he has shown at his size, I think he is the most likely of the 4 mentioned to be in the top 10. That said, I'm not expecting that out of him (because thats foolish to throw that on a kid, plus there are other factors like the other QBs coming out that year that influence draft position), I'm just saying he is capable.

I think its something like 35-40% Nico is the highest drafted of the group, the field is 60%. And that might be something like Nico 40%, Ewers 10%, Dart 15%, and Beck 35%. Its close.

Right before COVID you had Burrow and Kyler go back to back, both only having one stellar year in college. Both have been good pros

Burrow was a 2 year starter.
And there really wasnt anything "wrong" with his 2018 production.
He is actually an example of why the NFL likes 2 years starting.

As for Kyler Murray, which one was his good post season game?
What does he do extremely well in the NFL?
I always thought of him as just another guy.

3 years as a starter in Heupels O with the talent around him? Absolutely. No question.

In 4 years of play Beck will likely end up around 7,000 yards, 4 to 1 TD to Int, 140 yards rushing.

Dart will likely see closer to 1500 yards rushing and closer to 9,000 yards passing with a 4 to 1 td to Int ratio.

Ewers is likely to be around 9,000 yards passing, maybe 50 yards rushing and 3 to 1 td to Int.

Assuming 2-3 more years for Nico there is no reason to believe he will not pass Beck in every category and only trail in passing yards to the other two due to not playing his 4th year of eligibility.

Don't be shocked when people don't believe a tenessee mans prediction... especially when we saw a few people say the same things about Milton

Trevor started over 2 years.

I know, hes an example of guy who started early, but like I said he was always going number 1. He isn't an example of the NFL liking someone because he started multiple years.

Guys just being these transcendent type talents aren't good examples of your argument because there are always those guys occasionally and the NFL will take them regardless of 1 year starting vs 3.

Caleb Williams

Started over 2 years. 1000 pass attempts in college.

How far back do you have to go to find a stud in the NFL who was a 1 year starter with under 500 career college attempts?

I literally explained this example in my original comment and you either ignored it or just didn't read it

quote:

---

Whats the difference in being meh one year then stellar the next vs just being stellar for one year?

---

Ask the NFL
The data shows they favor game starts and pass attempts.

And the only thing that makes 2018 "meh" was how stupidly awesome 2019 was.
Burrow was arguably the 2nd or 3rd best QB on the SEC in 2018.

Ah so now the goalposts have moved, gotcha

---

If you want to hang yourself on Kyler Murray as the "gotcha" 1 year starter, then that is a very sad "best case scenario".

You already provided me 4 great examples of why the NFL likes multi-year starters.
Keep typing before your brain catches up. I'd love to see more reasons why I'm right (and a Vol is wrong as usual about the QB position)

quote:

---

I read it. I thanked you for the example of a 2+ year starter.

Your own initial example wasn't about "starters" though, it was "one year wonders", which Burrow is the shining example of. So I mentioned Burrow because we were going by your own definition, and you try to change the argument.

And I've only been talking about number 1 overall picks and still managed to get 2 examples (at least of what we were originally supposedly talking about until your brain malfunctioned) in the last 5 years.
