🏈 NC rings set aside, here's something to note today so you'll remember it twenty years from now...

I'm sitting here wondering which play was the most dramatic. The choices are both from Manziel: his ping-pong touchdown last night where he ricochets off of a defender and throws a TD or his Heisman moment from last year where the ball ricochets off of a defender and he throws it for a TD.

Tough call, eh? One a career moment, the other a highlight we'll likely never see repeated.

This debate led me to this realization and the purpose of this thread.

Twenty years from now when you're discussing this run the Tide has enjoyed remember this one thing: You've seen three of the most unique quarterbacks in SEC history; Tebow, Cam, and most recently Manziel.

In such a short span of time you'll never see three more dynamic players at this position.

Interestingly enough, 'Bama is 2-3 vs them. As a result 'Bama has won all rematches.

Everytime we say "you'll never see an athlete like him again" another pops up and outdoes the previous.

One issue here Bird...not what I said, at all.

You said we would never see that many in that short of a span... I wouldn't be surprised if we did. Athletes are just getting better and better it seems, just hope one of these days one of those athletes ends up wearing crimson.

Three comparable to Tebow, Cam, and Manziel...all in the SEC...all within a five year span of each other.

I'd be shocked.

I am hopeful for Simms play the role similar to that of the way Shaw plas at Carolina. I am not saying that he'd be on par w/ any of those QB's listed but I can see him playing QB role more similar to them.

 

[JoshB]

Sims would definitely give us a dimension offensively we've never had under Saban.

I believe that having a Manziel type QB would drive CNS slightly nuts.

I have to wonder if he'd be on the team.

When you take into account the altercation JM had with the assistant coach last spring...add to that the school wanting to kick JM out...I have serious doubts he'd be on the team...no doubt he'd be in the ole dog house, chained.
