In what world could you have possibly believed this was a refutation of my point? I said Alabama puts terrible QB's in the NFL. It doesn't matter where they get drafted. If you're good, you're going to get drafted, and there are lots of schools that put out more QB's, or at least as many, simply as draft picks, than Alabama, and some of them ACTUALLY don't suck when they get there. Imagine that? The point is that if you want a springboard to a successful NFL career as a QB, Alabama isn't the place to go.

surely you're not that dense.

There are MANY factors regarding NFL success, a huge one being the team that drafts them, their offensive scheme, and the quality of the O line.

Whether a player succeeds in the NFL is not tied to the college they went to. Now sure, a very good college OC can help with QB mechanics and understanding and reading defenses, but those are college defenses, which are pretty simple.

The NFL is an entirely different game. Much as the jump from high school to college is an entirely different game, and whether a QB succeeds in college isn't based on the high school he attended.
