| FTBL 1st Year Starting QB’s Under Saban

[mrchase]

Every First Year Starting QB under Saban at Bama Has won either an SEC Championship or National Championship.

*AJ didn’t win the SEC but won the National Championship *

* Hurts technically didn’t start the season as the starter. (Didn’t start the 1st series)

Was also thinking about this earlier today while driving... We all know Tua, Mac Jones, and Bryce were 1st round picks. Before them, Hurts was a 2nd rounder, but turned out to be a bargain. Milroe? @TerryP was correct when he said a few weeks back that Milroe will be on the Heisman stage next season. He will likely open the season no lower than 2nd in Vegas odds. But, he's also trending to be Saban's 4th consecutive 1st round pick in the 2025 draft... And I'm old enough to remember when rivals were knocking Saban's ability to develop a QB for the next level...
