Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[HankHill]

Tua played more than a half. He got a lot of reps in games (go watch his stuff against Vandy and us).

Fromm doesn’t get enough credit. I think he will still be good this year.

Agree on Herbert, but maybe Cristobal gets their oline to play well to keep him from getting hurt again

I was more talking just meaningful snaps when referring to Tua but yea i think he’s the real deal, by far the best talent that Alabama has had at QB under saban.

 

[mrMet]

I'm scared

I’m scared and confident all in one. I can really see it going either way.

OTOH, my vandy fan buddy thinks wvu beats us by 21+

Gotcha. They probably have saban’s most talented WR group too. It’ll be interesting to see how Locksley does this year

 

[T Dog]

Meh


Steve Mcnair was called tough more than anything else. I don't think he was a great HOF QB but he was dang good

Big Ben and Favre come to mind when I think tough QBs also. But McNair was the toughest. They showed a chart one game when he was playing and it looked like he had broken every bone in his body ar one point. Miss that dude.

 

[T Dog]

Isn't Bates in the 2 deep?

Three deep per the chart today.

 

[Chuckie]

I was talking to someone earlier today about the upcoming football season and I told them I was a Tennessee fan. They were like, "Me too. Alabama's my second favorite team."

I was like,



I ended the conversation, post haste.

 

[drvenner]

Worley was as tough as nails.

LOL

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think JG is going to surprise some folks.

My bold prediction- he is in the top 5 sec QBs by seasons end.

 

[volinbama256]

Isn't Bates in the 2 deep?

Yes, but only because of our depth... come on, the kid has been passing out Gatorade on the sidelines for 3yrs... He hasn't just magically come alive in his 5th yr... I hope he plays well, but meh.

 

[volinbama256]

We will soon see. I don't think JG is going to be very good.

I have to agree.. he is going into year three... and he still has plenty of issues, including accuracy and consistency, which has been noted by several folks, even those at the Manning camp...

Would love to see it

Then not a true fan of either team. He doesn't remember what the 3SIO supposed to be about.

My definition of tough includes us not being knowledgeable of every pain in your body. To be the toughest guy in NFL history, McNair was awfully fragile.

 

[SugarCC]

Worley was as tough as nails.

Who knows what Worley maybe could have done in a different offense...you know, other than the spread option...the VERY LAST offense he should have been in. Another Butch gem.

He wouldn't have done much in any type of offense IMO

A buddy that's a Vandy fan?

He may well have been HOF with a different coach besides Fisher.

Unless you've come to explain your devotion to Joe Namath, get back in the box.

 

[LaagerVol]

Sorry boys, I have a bad feeling. Ever since the magical time of Fall 2006-Spring 2007 (when My teams won 3 championships: Cardinals, Colts, Lady Vols) karma only allows one of my teams to be playing well at any given time. Right now, that’s the Cardinals.

Then the cardinals are about to fall off a cliff this Saturday.

Joe Willy was and is a boss, SugarCC. #Realist

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

That’s kinda where I am, but I hope we’re wrong. If he can develop the mental/intangible aspect of his game then he’s the only chance we have at fielding a complete QB this year. Our other guys will limit our offense capabilities in a big way.

You have a ****ed up outlook.

 

[jakez4ut]

I just reported the last 10 *** **** posts. Ingrates.

 

[Dooby15]

I can see JG having a bounce back year like Crompton had with Kiffin. Serviceable with a run first to set up the pass approach.
