You guys are funny. Same one DAMN PLAYER that has made a career from this offense other than Shaq.

...I just named 3. Are you a cage fighter?

Waller is. He is suspended for a year because of his drug habits, but he is very much in the league.
Dwyer? Oh, he doesn't count, right? Anthony Allen. He doesn't count either? Stephen Hill was in the league for a few years. Guess he also doesn't count. Oh well, you're right!

What I don't get is how a players NFL career has any bearing on his college success. If he makes it to the league, it's up to him what he does with it from there.

The real question is this: If NFL success is so important a characteristic in defining the success of a college team, then why hasn't Bama put any starting QBs in the league?

Can I like this a million times? Hit the nail on the head.

Not sure if this comment belongs in this thread or not. I spent most of today traveling and listening the goings on at Tennessee re: Greg Schiano. One comment i heard over and over is that Tennessee fans are delusional. Football there hasn't been relevant in 20 years. Who did they think they were going to get? They are years, if that, from being relevant in the college football landscape.

Made me think of some on this board who claim Tech has such a rich history, yada yada yada. If you accept the results we've seen in recent years, your'e not competitive. We can't accept this year's results because we're Georgia Tech and have had Coach Heisman and Coach Dodd. And my god we won a split national championship in 1990. We should be doing the same today!. Made me think that we're the delusional ones. I will now sit back and wait for everyone to tell me I'm not a competitor.

You know we have the same number of players in the NFL as Virginia Tech right? Guess which 2 schools combine for 10 out of 13 division winners?

Thank you Augusta_Jacket!! I was just about to ask how the hell we got into a cock-measuring contest over how guys do AFTER they leave Tech! And hey 75south (aka Arnab?) when a guy has NFL caliber talent & tools, the NFL finds him whether he’s attending Alabama, North Dakota State, or Texas A&I Kingsville.

Apparently, facts don't matter.

I'm not real sure how he can say that Shaq is the only player to make a career of it in the NFL when he's only been there 2 years. What about Attachou and Gotsis and now Butker?

It is forum policy to not give credit to that 5th down team for splitting a National Championship.

I think it might be time to lock this thread up. It's just troll bait at this point.

I want to know for the last time , who has made a career in the NFL playing Offense from the Johnson era. Don't give Bay Bay neither. He would have never played at tech if Johnson was hired in 2006.

How about J McKinnon. Vikings.

Interesting article for you to read too.

Oh, and I agree with A basic premise you’ve argued. We need to pass the ball a little better. A little more
efficiently. But I think most on this board would too.

What has that got to do with anything? The FACT is that he DID play in Johnson's offense.

First, explain to me what difference it makes? Name me a QB from Bama making a career in the NFL.

I'm still waiting on some more answers from you all. You CAN'T answer the question. So, if you are happy with the results than maybe you need to question your competitive nature. I didn't come to the board to smash tech. I have been banned before . Years ago! I came hear to point out the some of the MAJOR issues that Johnson is causing.

I don't care about Bama! I want you to stop ignoring questions. Where are these NFL players on Offense??? Are there any on this year's team ?
