Wayne Arnold Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 What is this garbage? Buffalo would be up by 50 after the first quarter and they would have to cancel the rest of the game because half of Alabama’s players would be injured.

formerlyofCtown Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Tim Tebow was one of the greatest college QBs ever. Aaron Maybin had I think 10 sacks in a season. Some of the best talent in college gets cut in the NFL. Some of the best college football has to offer are on our practice squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separate question: but does Murray’s success take a little bit of the shine off Mayfield? The guy played in 2 offenses (Texas tech) where every qb puts up big numbers. and I love Tua. But playing qb at Alabama is maybe the easiest job in sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Diver Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Ross Pierschbacher and Jonah Williams would probably start on our O-line. I would take Tua over Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray’s numbers are almost identical to Baker’s at this point. Tua is really, really good though. He was the number 1 QB recruit for a reason. I’m less concerned about the numbers than the skill set. He appears to have elite traits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I remember abck in the day when they'd have a college All Star team play the defending NFL champs. It was like men playing against boys. Primarily because it was men playing against boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what people are missing is that elite college players translate. 2 years ago some would have said “Tre White is a college CB” he’d get smoked out here. 8 months later he was a top 10 NFL CB. The same goes for Lattimore. Elite players are elite players. Edited September 20, 2018 by Kirby Jackson 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Simple numbers: 1,500,000 high school players, 30,000 college players, 1,700 NFL players. There’s no college team that could stay with the Bills or any other NFL team. Too big & physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 This is absolutely ridiculous. Every year there is a fan/pundit debate over wither the best college football team could beat the worst NFL team. The NFL team would crush any college team no questions asked. NFL Teams are composed of essentially multiple years of the best college football players in the country all in their physical primes. On Alabama how many players on the roster right now will end up being drafted into the NFL? Then how many of those players will have great rookie years? The number is probably a handful of Alabama players could come in and have success at an NFL level right away. So where does that leave the rest of the roster? You have a bunch of players who won't be able to compete with guys at an NFL level. !@#$ off with these silly questions every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick the position, X prospect will fail because they are not big enough, strong enough or fast enough for the pro game. There are Day 1 impact rookies every year. When guys like OBJ, Von Miller or Joey Bosa come in and light up the stat sheet in their first game, it's not because they had 5 months of NFL training. It's because they are phenomenal players, period. If Alabama played Buffalo right now, I'd say....38-9 Buffalo.

billsfan89 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Just now, Sky Diver said: 21 players with Alabama ties were drafted last year, 12 from Alabama. I don't know how many it will be this year, plus they have some stellar underclassman. 12 Alabama players were drafted last year let's go ahead and assume this year it is 14 just for sake of argument. How many of those 14 players will be good NFL players? Probably at least 6-7 will be outright busts, maybe you get 8 that will be good NFL players. Then out of those 8 that aren't busts how many are going to be impactful in their rookie years? Maybe 3-4. So right now on Alabama, you have 3-4 NFL caliber guys right off the bat. The rest of the roster wouldn't be able to compete with NFL players. The Bills would completely destroy Alabam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 4 top 25 teams on the schedule. 3 are currently top 15. Have you watched an Alabama game?
