I must respectfully and strenuously disagree. The 2020 draft is just too plentiful at talented WRs to give up picks like that imo.

Green is a great receiver. My one and only worry with him is how much he would care about this season when he stands to make untold guaranteed millions as a ufa. I think that whether or not he would go all out is a tossup. Next year might be the deepest wide receiver draft I have ever seen. We might be able to pick up 2 very good wrs. if we keep our picks. Indeed, a tough call for Beane.

All through this long and sleepless night I hear my neighbors talking (She don't love him) Saying that out of my life Into another's arms you'll soon be walking Somebody shake me, wake me when it's over Somebody tell me that I'm dreamin' And wake me when its over

In your scenario, would signing him to an extension be a prerequisite?

How many years are left on his contract? How is his health? If he IS healthy it might be a disadvantage for the Bengals to play him and risk him getting hurt. I know that sounds odd, but it makes sense. The Bengals are going nowhere with or without him. If they put him in, they might even win a game or 2. Is that even a good thing in terms of the draft? Lots of questions.

Gideon came in with his eyes on the floor, Says "y'ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door. Moses stood up a full six feet ten, Says "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in."

Would they get a 3rd if he leaves in free agency?

Sometimes I think that Flutie should have started the Throwback Game. Other times it seems OK that they went with RJ but I think that Ralph made the call.

Interesting topic? Hey.....could the Dolphins beat Alabama?

Btw Tua was hit late at least twice on Saturday and neither hit was called.

Texas gave up 9 sacks to Oklahoma. 9 sacks Yolo. I'm not so sure that Texas is ready to play against the big boys in the SEC OR the Big 10. Clemson kicked ass. I am not going to make excuses. They had a GREAT and deep defensive line, in addition to all of the other good players. They were WAY too much for the Alabama OL. This might not be the case this year but we shall see.

Is MSU any good? It would appear not but I don't know.

You make sense and unlike some of the teams listed above, Georgia has a tough schedule. The hardest teams for me to rate at this point are the Big 10. Who have Wisc. and OSU played to this point that are any good? Michigan State? Please. I am NOT saying that OSU and Wisc. are not fine teams. I am saying that a clearer picture will emerge when they start to play against good teams. I suppose that the same could be said about Alabama, although Texas A&M is much better than most would probably rank them. They have what is probably the toughest schedule in the NCAA and are starting to get hit with injuries.

I don't think so at all. In fact, it appears to me that Alabama exposed the Big 12 last year when they clobbered Oklahoma who at the time had a clearly superior QB to Hurts.

This assumes that he was ever going to be any good. It really is. This is why I want Rosen to play. Fitz did the best he could for the Bills and appeared to be a good guy.

I hope that you are right but a Bama win seems to be far from a given. The biggest edge that the Tide has over LSU is the head coach. Well, the QB and the receivers aren't so bad either but the game is by no means a sure win for Alabama.

Of course. Alabama still has to play at least 2 (perhaps even 3) excellent teams. They can lose, absolutely. Clemson played a good Texas A&M and has a game left with a good (but not at all great) South Carolina team. Oklahoma feeds on week sisters. Do tell, why didn't you include Ohio State in your post? They have some tough games remaining. Do you view Ohio State as 100% unbeatable?

My years of watching college football have taught me that teams with a great offensive or defensive line are very hard to defeat. Georgia is said to have the very best OL in the NCAA. I watched South Carolina play against Bama and they are good. Should Georgia have lost that game? No freaking way. Fromm? He is a very smart game manager. He doesn't have Josh Allen talent but you can win with guys like Fromm in college. I'm not going to kick Georgia while they are down. As you well know, good teams can have bad games. Georgia lost to a team that they should have beaten. Let's see what happens down the road. They might be OK. I don't think that many teams outside the SEC could beat Georgia. Do you?

LSU is very good virtually every year. Of course they are capable of beating the Tide IF everything falls into place. I have an idea.....give us a list of who LSU couldn't possibly beat...…. Let me guess.....Penn State? Ohio State? ?

Any pro team can beat any college team, no problem. This is a given. That said, the bolded was a rather dumb comment. I dare say that they generally play pretty well.

I am a HUGE Crimson Tide Fan who thinks that they would lose but your post is enough to close this thread. The bottom line is that it would take a similar miracle. Nice post!

2-2 in their last 4 meetings. Who is your favorite team?

The bolded is very true, but I really do not think that the Tide could beat a pro team. Both of their starting ILBs are out for the season and freshmen are in there. A 5 star and a 4 star but they are just kids. Pros would be just too tough for them.

Absolutely, because he is the GOAT, and not even Bryant comes close. Saban has the same number of titles in half the time. Texas offered him 10 mil per year several years ago and told him that he could fill in the number of years. His wife wouldn't let him sign with them. Terry Saban is in charge of that household.

This is true. Saban has an easier time keeping players in line because if they don't listen to him they will lose HUGE money. Saban can toss a player off the team, any player, and not get fired. If he WAS fired, he would have another offer in 10 seconds. Other parts of being a college coach are difficult nonetheless. I heard a Bama player say he was the best at his high school, if not his entire state, and when he got to Alabama, so was everyone else. In any event, I think that the phish would beat the Tide. Pros are too tough and experienced for college teams.
