Sometimes they play teams where no players will make the NFL. This is completely untrue. Teams like LSU, Georgia, Auburn and the rest of the SEC teams on Bama’s schedule are packed with future NFL players. Oh, and nowadays, guys who get drafted do in fact play in the NFL right away. Very few drafted players get released as rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Well, here are the lines for other NFL teams vs. Alabama: https://www.actionnetwork.com/nfl/alabama-spread-against-every-nfl-team-hypothetical-odds Also, the Bills started and played 2 UDFA rookies from Alabama that had an impact in the game. Neither guy was a star at Bama either. That should give a sense for the level of talent that they are pumping out.

I just had to mention that. Yep and for a half of football they couldn't put up more than 10 points against college players that are already planning other careers. I wonder what we would do to Alabama in a half of football if we didn't take our foot off the gas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part that I think should logically stand out but may be lost on you because you are really dug into your argument... in the bills bama matchup- which team is the overwhelming favorite and which are the scrubs just trying to hang? I think its its easy to think that on any given day a bama team could probably hang for quite awhile with a little luck. A 30 point spread is pretty huge still. I don’t think anyone here is arguing that Bama is a better team but that they might be able to win a few matchups and with some good bounces or blown coverages keep it within 4 touchdowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every starter on Alabama’s team will have a chance to play in the NFL, although of course not all will make it. The point is, the talent level is very high. I would absolutely take Alabama’s receiving corps this year over the Bills’. And if you think Alabama’s D-line would get obliterated by the Bills’ o-line, despite today’s performance, then we’ll just have to disagree.

mannc Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Anyone who thinks it would be a total mismatch is kidding themselves. This year’s team will have at least 12 guys drafted, and that’s just the guys who decide to come out. And that’s after having 12 guys drafted in 2018. The Bills have two current starters who were 2018 UDFAs from Alabama and one didn’t even start for the Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 How many players on the Bills roster right now are players on an NFL roster? Exactly. How many Bama players (who played the Citadel to a 10-10 halftime score last week) will end up on an NFL roster? Optimistically half of the squad? 75%? Just sayin’. Also, what kind of a difference maker is it to have Saban on the sidelines? In college, unreal. In the NFL, not so much (see, Dolphins experiment). You just can’t compare an oranges to apples world like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just can’t compare an oranges to apples world like this. How many first round draft picks are on the Bills’ roster? 5, including Star and KB. How many on Alabama? Probably 10 guys who will be first round picks this year or next, plus another 7 or 8 who will be 2d or 3d rounders. The Bills get one first round pick per year; Saban can sign 6 or 7 every year. Pretty much every starter will either be drafted or will get a shot at the NFL as an UDFA. There is no big talent disparity. I’m not saying Alabama would win, but there’s every reason to believe it would be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
