Don't think Bama' QBs were that tall.Yup none under 6'3" that I can think of....

McElroy was 6'2"...but 6'2" is a lot closer to 6 3".....6'1" is really just about 6'0"......'Don't think Bama' QBs were that tall.
4.53. Fast, but not 4.4. Throw me another when you get time. By no means is it routine if it's ever even happened.Hell, didn't Clowney run 4.4 a few years back.
Not so sure about Appleby. But Trask has been a pleasant surprise. I trust that Mac knows how to pick a QB

Is this the "new math"?McElroy was 6'2"...but 6'2" is a lot closer to 6 3".....6'1" is really just about 6'0"......'
It all comes down the QB's. If they suck, we suck, no matter how great the WR's are.
Would be fun to see a downtrodden sec school (say Miss State) run a wishbone or single wing.
No Treon at QB = Automatic 100% improvement before the first snap of the season.
So you're saying that there are no safety's or LBer's who run 4.4-4.5??? My point is that with todays modern defenses either a safety or LBer is coming to the QB on just about any pass play. Go back and watch the Bama and FSU games from last year. Treon was sacked about 50 times in those 2 games by LBers and safety's. Also watch the FSU game when Derwin James routinely lined up at the los and BEAT our OL with both his speed AND power. My point to Rog is QB's like Danny never saw sh!t like that.....Even guys like Clowney with his paltry 4.53 speed have changed the way offenses play in the last 10 years.4.53. Fast, but not 4.4. Throw me another when you get time. By no means is it routine if it's ever even happened.
Only if chimp is your coach.Used to be emphasis was on better athletes being on the offense....not so much anymore.
Almost objected to this bc the 4 QBs include 2 true FR, but u are absolutely right. Our 4th string QB wld be better than 2d half of last year. That kind of statement would usually be hyperbole, but it's 100% true.I agree, but we need improvement on the OL to give our QB a chance. Anyway, I gotta believe all 4 QBs are an upgrade from what we saw in the second half of last season.
I can name one.Name me just one DE or "Buck" that runs a 4.4. Just one.
You couldn't come up with chris leak?Yup none under 6'3" that I can think of....

Are we really discussing NC's at this point, anyway? Let's just settle for being a decent offense first. It's been a long time.
Seriously. Let's just be in the top 90 in offensive statistics for a start.Are we really discussing NC's at this point, anyway? Let's just settle for being a decent offense first. It's been a long time.
Look it's fun to look back but that's just nonsense. This years Bama team would have taken that 96 team behind the woodshed 56-3, or any other team that has won a NC in the last 10 years for that matter...bigger, faster, stronger , it is what it is.You're right though crete, the game has changed. It's now illegal to tackle.
If you could get a time machine and bring that 96 team into the present, I can't even imagine how many points they would score under today's rules.
