ALUF 1990 All-American

I think Heaps might have been an All American at Bama. He was very good with no

pressure. Elite oline in HS gave him all day to throw to the nations #1 HS receiver and he became a 5 star illusion. Played weak G5 teams vs BYU and he looked great. Give him pressure and he threw underhanded passes in the end zone jumping backwards. Failed at every University he tried. It will be very interesting to see how Wilson does against heavy NFL pressure trying to throw covered guys open. I hope he succeeds. I don't think anyone can say with confidence that Wilson will succeed or fail in the NFL. Not enough information.

when you can sit back for 4 seconds every throw and go through all your options

Same problem with Ohio State QBs as well

Yep. See also running backs and OL. It's a team sport

Up until Kiffin and then Sark, Bama hasn’t exactly had the most QB friendly OCs.

Seems like the until Hurts and Tua the Alabama QB has been horrible at throwing.

1/12/21 10:11am

My thoughts as well. Zach easily starts at every SEC school

Not at every Pac12 School though, he wouldn't even scratch the two deep at one

Not so sure about that. Let's be somewhat objective. Zach played against an

He is also projected to be picked higher than any SEC QB. Put it this way,

it's crazy to think people thought Alex Smith was good because pl weak schedule

I was thinking same, and he'd have to learn leading them so far on throws they're so darn fast and create such great

One question though: Would Zach have been starting as a freshman at those schools? Zach's jump this past yr was amazing

I think there is no doubt that Zach came to the right school for him

This. There's a reason so many

Completely agree. It's more important to get playing to get to the NFL than to be on an elite team

Zenoch

I would argue that being on an elite team hurts QB development

It has been interesting because people ask what Wilson would have

Valid point. I do think Mac had it really easy.

Comparing Zach Wilson to Heaps is silly. But true that we don't know how Zach

My thoughts were about competition... they had one game that was even a game

No. Alabama was up big early. FL came back but each time Bama could restretch the lead

They had a pretty back and forth game with Ole Miss as well.

So Zach would be even better had the OL etc purposely and randomly played poorly
