re: QB's to beat Saban since 2012

all things equal - in a theoretical sense - a highly elusive scrambling type of athlete is better than a stationary person. problem is, going through progressions in seconds and knowing complex playbooks and having skill and desire to study films etc etc is apparently very rare (regardless of star ratings).

i think you just have to bring in the best talent the program can get and let them develop and see what suits the team best. of course, this all assumes the playbook and coaches allow for the possibility of a diverse offense
