Hill's on pace for a better year than Ingram's best year.
edit: And already surpassed his other two years.

We had Stevan Ridley at the same exact moment, and he was better.

Cowherd is good entertainment, nothing more. He swings from side to side on nearly every topic.
He actually employs reason to address the issue. The Rant only pays attention to the conclusion.

Cowherd sucks and is a troll

Hightower will be a very good player

I've never thought Mark Ingram was the greatest. I always liked Trent Richardson, since I saw him play in high school. I was wrong about Eddie Lacy.
I don't measure Alabama football players by what they do in the pros. I will say THIS -- Neither Joe Namath, Kenny Stabler, nor Bart Starr is in the College Football Hall of Fame. Stabler is not even in the NFL Hall of Fame. Starr hardly even played main team at Alabama -- he was there during the nadir of Alabama football, before Bear Bryant came in and changed things in 1958.
From the standpoint of what he did as an Alabama football player, Pat Trammell was the greatest quarterback of all time. And no doubt, 95% of the Ranters don't even know who he was. Trammell never made it to the pros, and he died of cancer at age 28 as a young doctor.
Pat Trammell is looked upon as the Captain of Alabama football. Why? because Bear Bryant called him "the favorite person of my life. He couldn't pass and he couldn't run. All he could do was win."
Pat Trammell won Bear's first national championship, at Alabama in 1961. He wore #12. Every Alabama quarterback since then has worn #12 if he could get it. McCarron wears #10 -- Greg McElroy had #12 when McCarron came into the program.
This is why I think that the whole national discussion on the "Game Manager" is hokum. You come to Alabama as a quarterback, you are expected first and foremost to be the Game Manager. You don't make mistakes. You make the others around you better. In fact, if they aren't putting out like they should, you get on their case. Bryant said that "the rest of the players followed Trammell like little puppies."
The 1958 LSU team had a great Game Manager -- Warren Rabb. He probably hasn't received the acclaim he deserves. He won you a national championship by steering the ship through a perfect season and a national championship in both the AP and UP.
This is what I think so many people miss -- football is just as much about using your head as it is about using your athleticism. As Nick Saban says, focus on your job. You want swagger? Well, you better attend to the focus before you concern yourself with the swagger.
What a guy does in the pros after he leaves your team -- what do you care, anyhow? You want him to apply himself to doing the best for you and your team while he is at your place.
I don't care that much for pro football anyway.

Did he mention Roman Harper?
Posted on 11/9/13 at 8:38 am to PeaRidgeWatash
Didn't TR have 1300 AP yards last year as a rookie? Pretty sure James Carpenter starts for Seattle. I know Kareem Jackson starts for Houston and has since he was drafted. Rolo had 250 tackles in 3 years. Dude made the defensive calls as a rookie. Hightower starts for New England. Milliner gets plenty of PT for the jets as does Dareus for the bills. Mark Barron starts for Tampa Bay. Should I keep going?

Jackson gets toasted on a weekly basis.
Go on about how most of those are disappointments relative to where they were drafted...

i know it's sometimes fun to give bama fans shite about their players outside julio, lacey, and a few others, being flops in the league, but who cares? they still kick everyone's arse in college football. honestly, i root for lsu players to do well in the league, but if they don't pan out it doesn't bother me too much either. i'd rather have bama's national titles than better nfl players.

cowherd has given lsu PLENTY of love through the years. if people are going to hate cowherd (and there are a multitude of reasons to pick from), that shouldn't be one of them.

he was good in college, but i think there have been plenty of RBs in the SEC that would have had similar or better success than ingram did with that OL. honestly, i think just at alabama, the last 3 starting backs have been more talented than ingram, as well as jeremy hill

True. Bama hasn't lost a game since 2009 and that's all that matters.
They've managed to go unbeaten in the toughest conference while playing the toughest teams.
Truly an amazing feat. That's what makes Saban a genius.
