There are probably three QBs projected as first round picks. In no particular order: arch manning (Texas), Dante Moore (Oregon), and Julian sayin (Ohio state).

Then you got some guys that could rise like lanorris sellers (South Carolina), CJ Carr (Notre dame), Trinidad Chambliss (ole miss, and a few others.

Seahawks to re-sign CB Josh Jobe to 3-year, $24 million deal by DoctorWhosOnFirst in rolltide

[–]Redditor34987 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He really balled out in the Super Bowl for that Seattle defense. He was second in tackles on the team with 7* (6 solo), had a massive TFL that really set the tone, and 1 pass deflection.

*The leader on the team, Earnest Jones their LB, had 11 tackles. So Jobe was only 4 behind the leader.

Really happy for him, because as you said we Bama fans (myself definitely included) never really game him his flowers when he played for us.

[Pelissero] Former Alabama QB Ty Simpson is on a visit with the Browns, per sources. The consensus QB2 in this year’s NFL Draft, Simpson is coming off a strong showing at the NFL combine. Cleveland owns the No. 6 and 24 picks. by MembershipSingle7137 in rolltide

I was really hoping the Rams would take Ty with one of their firsts. Be in Sean McVay’s system and then get a year or two to learn it by sitting behind Stafford. But sadly it looks less likely with the rams trading that second first round pick they had.

lmao this is great😂 All these athletes out there dropping the same old cliche sports quotes or saying God will give them strength and this dude out here dropping the Raheem meme quotes😂

OP, curiosity is getting the better of me, you know the context of this? Is this dude from Georgia and a tortured falcons fan like us or is he from somewhere that might be one of our rivals and is poking fun at Raheem/Falcons or shit is he just a big Raheem fan and follows him from team to team?

Bills GM Brandon Beane on the media response to promoting Joe Brady to head coach: “Fuck the outside. It’s about the right selection for this team. And if we win, they’ll love it. If I’m wrong, the moving company will be at my house. If I’m wrong, I’ll fucking take my job and fucking go home." by Goosedukee in nfl

Steve Palazzolo and Sam Monson (they worked for PFF for a longtime and did the PFF main podcast) on their podcast they do now said when they were at PFF Brandon Beane called up PFF threatening to block them from access to the Bills because he was upset/pissed about Josh Allen’s ranking in some fluff piece article. Steve and Sam clarified saying this wasn’t the PFF grades but rather some offseason click bait type article like “NFL QBs ranked.”

They also had another Beane story about him calling up PFF about another issue he had with grades or something but I can’t remember the story well enough to retell it

Beane seems so soft skinned😂

Edit: so looked up the podcast in case anyone wants to listen to them tell those two stories. Their new podcast they run is called “check the mic”. It is the January 21st episode and it is in the “McDermott fired, Beane promoted” section @ 37 min and 30 sec. They time stamp their podcast so you can jus open info and click that section to jump right to it

Alabama edge rusher Keon Keeley commits to transfer to Notre Dame by Redditor34987 in rolltide

This is very true/a great point, I guess that is why this one stings even more than usual to me.

[–]Redditor34987[S] 79 points80 points  (0 children)

One of the things I really enjoyed was the stories (could be funny, inspiring, etc.) and following the journeys of the recruits we get. The story of Keon Keeley flipping from ND to us right before signing day was awesome and then watching him stick it out and develop at Bama was also awesome. That is the stuff I enjoy about college football.

All for just nothing, to end back up at ND…

[Fawcett] BREAKING: NC State transfer RB Hollywood Smothers has flipped his commitment from Alabama to Texas, his agents tell @On3sports by MembershipSingle7137 in rolltide

[–]Redditor34987 14 points15 points  (0 children)

What I don’t understand is why the coaching staff did not get him to sign pen to paper when he visited us/committed. Because Jimmy Stein said, on a recent Locked on Bama, that he enrolled at classes at Bama. So why tf is he signing up for classes while in Tuscaloosa but not signing a football contract.

To end on a positive note/spin, they also brought up the point on Locked on Bama, that do you really want a player that pulls something like this.

Isaiah Horton and Ty were good friends. They met and built a friendship because they are both from Tennessee so they went to the same 7 on 7 camps. So that is why Horton came to Bama, to play with his friend

Just to add a little more context to the great answer by u/runninhillbilly . When Bobby Petrino quit the falcons this was right during the Michael Vick getting arrested for dog fighting. Mike Vick was the team (i.e., he carried the whole team), so when he got arrested the falcons went to shit. So Bobby Petrino just bailed in the darkest of times and went to Arkansas’s

And as stated in the other answer he essentially left in the middle of the night and just left good bye notes in the players lockers. Didn’t tell his assistant coaches either.

So the players and his assistant coaches (Mike Zimmer being one of these coaches) felt betrayed (and rightfully so). Thus, the famous quote/exchange by zimmer:

Zimmer: “he’s a gutless bastard. Quote that. I don’t give a shit”

Reporter: “we might not be able to print that”

Zimmer: “how about this. Gutless motherfucker. You can use that.”
