Joe Burrow has a shot if he keeps slinging it and LSU keeps winning..

 

tOSU sure has been on fire recruiting Heisman candidate QB's. Burrow transferred out, Fields transferred in. And Haskins declared for the NFL.

How ridiculous is it Alabama had two QB Heisman Trophy candidates on the roster last year?

Hurts killing it at OU..

 

 

Funny part is, Alabama hasn't had a track record for QB's over the years until recently. I did like AJ McCarron, though.

Outside of Troy Smith, tOSU hadn't had many NFL caliber QB's either until the past 4 years.

Yeah, that whole thing is crazy thinking about it. lol

 

And they had JT Barrett, who wasn't an NFL caliber QB but was a legit Heisman candidate. Cardale Jones is still in the NFL and so is Terrelle Pryor, although not as a QB.

But for a while, I got used to them having the likes of Bobby Hoying and Craig Krenzel.

It's nice to have see top guys coming in to the system now. Ryan Day is a big reason why.

3 have won Super Bowls 

name them 

 

That's super easy. Starr, Namath and Stabler. In that order.

I grew up watching the NFL in the mid-to-late 70's. Growing up in NorCal, the Raiders were on TV all the time cause they were one of the top teams, along with Miami, Houston, Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Minnesota. I saw lots of all those teams.

So I saw Kenny Stabler play a ton. And of course heard much about Bart Starr and Joe Willie Namath. Some of my early NFL memories are of Namath in a Rams uni and OJ Simpson in a 49ers uni. I'm not old enough to have remembered them in their heyday.

But I do know where they attended college ;)

sounds like I'm maybe a half decade older

my earliest sports memory of any kind is the Super Bowl after Namath, so he was a bit before my time

but I remember when Miami has the oranges, but Buffalo has The Juice -- may be a scumbag, but he was the truth

although I turned on them when that pig farmer from Arkansas bought the team and fired Landry by phone while he was playing golf -- might still be a Cowboys fan if he had just treated him with a bit more respect -- but as a Cowboys fan, I knew all about Bart Starr even if before my time 

I spent a few years in Bay Area in early to mid 70s and may have been at some of the same games -- 49ers w/ Brodie, and the classic Raider teams.  First MLB game was a Catfish Hunter complete game where Reggie Jackson threw out a guy at the plate trying to tag on him.

Hurts has played Houston, South Dakota, & UCLA.

Fields has played FAU, Cincinnati, & Indiana... 

 

They have to play a defense before they are anointed.

Funny that Penn State and Maryland were literally averaging 70 plus points a game the first few games and the second they play not even an elite team, but a team with a pulse one loses and the other is in a 4 quarter dog fight.

Who. for example, has Tua played that is materially better than say, Cincinnati?

And who is "annointing" anyone?

Of the current leaders, the general consensus is that Burrow has the only really meaningful win so far, right? And that was against a Big 12 defense so maybe a grain of salt with that?
