Historically, the Alabama Crimson Tide has not been good at producing NFL quarterbacks. Excluding current quarterbacks in the league, Alabama’s last great quarterback was Joe Namath. However, they have recently started putting together some good quarterback rooms which have improved the outlook on Bryce Young.

With Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones (I still consider Jalen Hurts to be an Oklahoma QB), it’s starting to look up. Even if you consider Jalen to be an Alabama quarterback, that’s three starters in the NFL that are doing fairly well.

Why can’t Bryce be the next great QB from Alabama? A little smaller than you’d want in a QB, Tua and Jalen have proven that it doesn’t matter.

Young has been very consistent with the ball this year by throwing 24 touchdowns and only four interceptions through 10 games in what has been one of Alabama’s worst seasons this decade.

Bryce has the ability to be a leader in the locker room and compete for the starting position on day one, even if the Colts are still rostering Matt Ryan.

The issue is that Bryce will be either the first or second pick of the draft this year going to either the Texans or Raiders. This is going to take a historic trade to land him in Indy. The likely trade partner would be the Raiders, as the Texans will not trade what should be their future to the Colts.
