That was the joke. None of those QBs were considered 1st round, let alone 1st overall and they all played on powerhouse and championship teams. The argument doesn’t hold water, particularly if you actually watch the guy play.
Exactly! Until Tua came along, Alabama always won in spite of their QB play. They won with their defense and running game for the most part. Tua is the first star QB Saban has had at Alabama. You can't compare him to the other QB's that have been there before him.
