How many become NFL impact players ? And how many become bench players and fringe guys? They don't have 20 long term NFL starter's Not too many busts come out of schools like Bama and Clemson. And I'm pretty sure the Dolphins don't have anywhere near "20 long term NFL starters." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoBills808 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 People asked this question about the Bills last year. The defense the Bills are running ie a top notch NFL defense shutting down NFL caliber teams full of NFL caliber talent...this year is pretty much exactly the same as last year. People were saying Alabama would have had a shot to compete. It's complete lunacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might they be a little biased? Q. Williams, guaranteed Bama stud top of the table 2019...injured and largely ineffective his first year thus far. It's just a different game. 1 minute ago, mannc said: And every guy on the Dolphins is a bona fide NFL star? We're not talking about the Bills.

My favorite responses are the ones that say the Tide players would all be seriously injured, as if these SEC players aren't all grown-ass men. You do realize that two SEC grown ass men olinemen, Jonah Williams and Williams on the Jets are already hurt right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 10 minutes ago, mannc said: There was a long thread on this issue last year, and the majority of the posts saying Alabama would get killed are like this one by Buffalo716: No real evidence offered (other than misinformation), just blanket statements with nothing to back them up. Fact: All 22 starters on Alabama this year will have a shot in the NFL, and perhaps 15-18 will make NFL rosters. Of those, most will be drafted and there are probably 6-8 who will be first round picks, although not all in 2020. On the 90-man roster, I'd guess that there are 40 or more who will have a very good shot at playing pro football. Unlike NFL teams, Alabama is not limited to one first round pick per year; each recruiting class has probably 4 to 6 future first or second round picks. Clemson and Ohio State aren't far behind. Miami on the other hand probably has 10 players who wouldn't make most NFL rosters and has a number of guys on their team who probably would not start for Alabama. Robert Foster, for example, was the Bills' best receiver last year and he was a backup at Alabama the previous year. I think it would be a competitive game and there's a good chance Alabama would win. It would be a blowout. Every rookie will tell you the hardest thing to adjust to is the NFL speed. These Alabama players have never seen it but you think they’ll just adjust to it immediately in a 4 quarter game? Some of their starters are still teenagers. I forgot which rookie QB said it a few years ago....but basically said in college you’ll get about 5 different looks on defense. In the NFL...it’s 20. The playbook is 1/5 of the size. Miami would win by 40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins have 100% NFL players, if not top tier guys. Bama’s best might be the stars on Miami, but you need a complete roster to play an NFL game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
