Tua Tagovaiola and the Bama offense

Why? The NFL has rookie Bama staters who do well every year, including linemen and Tua is better than half the NFL QBs today. I highly doubt that most of Bama’s OL won’t be starting as rookies in the NFL... so what makes you think they couldn’t win some games?

Men against boys. That's why.

I understand the point, but I completely disagree with it. There are a lot of "average" college players who make NFL rosters and sometimes become starters. Guys like Jason Croom, Emmanuel Moseley, Justin Coleman, etc. Becoming an NFL player doesn't all of a sudden make someone better. They are the same player and they are still not as good as the guys in Alabama's two-deep.

Actually becoming an NFL player does make someone better, but you are right, it isn’t sudden. In 2 days NFL players spend more time watching film than the NCAA allows a college player to spend on football activities during an entire week. Read an article where a rookie said his first summer OTA practice was harder than any college game he played in. NFL players spend around 16 hours a day training, practicing, and studying. This is why NFL coaches and coordinators that transition to college can’t implement NFL level offensive and defensive schemes.

Bama has a good O-line, but they aren’t all NFL level. It takes one weak link to crash a line. Cleveland would get pressure rushing 3, they could have Myles Garrett blitz. That’s 7 players occupied by 4, well probably 8 b/c I wouldn’t trust just a RB to pick up Garrett so have a TE in to block too. So Bama’s only play is trying to get the ball to 3 WRs covered by 7 defenders.

First paragraph was a very good point. If I could give you a +0.5 I would

Bama's second and third string QB's aren't that bad either! In fact, if they were playing almost anywhere else (forgetting politicos) they'd be star starters. Bama is going to have a great QB next year, even if it's not Tua

You know damn good and well Tua likely plays another 2 years at Bama barring major injuries or a stud comes up and steals the job. Saban will do anything to hang on to the kid until he graduates....

Can we see Tua play a game where he is pressured more than once a game before he is crowned. He is accurate with time there's no doubt but he's not been knocked around enough to know if it will affect him. How can anybody project him as pro star based upon his time at Bama. It will be the only time in his life where he gets to play clean every game.

Alabama would get hosed by the worst nfl teams. Its grown ass men vs college boys. The best of the best get drafted.
