Congratulations to Mac Jones, who today was named a Patriots team captain by coach Bill Belichick.
Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa were previously named team captains of the Eagles and Dolphins.
Three former Bama quarterbacks, all named captains of their respective NFL teams.
That’s simply amazing.
That’s #BuiltByBama

There was a time I would have never imagined that kind of QB depth at BAMA.


And now it’s common place. Practically.

When was the last time there were 3.....THREE.....former BAMA QBs that were starting in the NFL? At the same time?

Serious question because I really want to know. I can't remember a time, but it may have happened before my time.

Namath, Stabler, Hunter?

I thought that

 

[mando]

I was thinking the 70's so that would be the group @im4uainva mentioned.

Namath, Stabler, Hunter?

Correct. Namath played from '65-'77. Stabler from '68-'84. Hunter from '71-'79. At some point(s) between '71 and '77 all three would have been starters.

 

[252BAMA]

Hunter has several ambiguous passing entries in the Bama record book from the '69 barn game. Three of which held the top spots until broken by Young last season. Ambiguous in that Bama lost that game 26-49.

Didn't Bart Starr play at the same time as Namath and Stabler?

 

[im4uainva]

'71. Bart's last year. '71 was also Scott Hunter's first year, and he did it by substituting for...Bart Starr after Bart was injured. So, not at the same time, but within that year.

ROLL TIDE!

Richard Todd didn't he replace Joe Willie?

Yes.

Correct, Hunter started 10 games and Starr 3 for Green Bay in '71. So in that year Bama had four starting QBs, but as you say, not all at the same time.
