Ranking Alabama QBs from 2000-2014

RammerJammer15 · Nov 18, 2014

How would you rank them? We all know AJ is #1

colbysullivan · Nov 18, 2014

AJ and Blake at the top. Then start with Greg and work backwards chronologically.

Hooks4bama · Nov 18, 2014

1. AJ
2. McElroy
3. JPW
4. Brodie
5. Watts
6. Zow

7. Pennington (spaced for a reason) lol

If all of them had played for CNS , Croyle would likely come close to lapping the field . JOMO though

Greg won an SEC and BCS title and had a ton of clutch moments at QB during his Bama career. I love how Blake has played so far this year, but until he finishes the season in the same fashion, Greg deserves to be ranked higher than Blake. IMO

Agreed, he definitely lacked the line and playmakers that we have now

I'm going to tread lightly here, but those with a strong worth ethic tend to do better under Saban than those who lack it...

Really? I was unaware that. Brodie Croyle was one of my favorites.

Going to Club Shula? You're "almost there".

I would swap Zow and Brodie...

Leaving Sims out of the discussion until the season is over. So,...

1) AJ (has the hardware to back it up)
2) McElroy
2) Croyle (don't know anything about his work ethic, but give him the line and skill players that McElroy and AJ had and I bet he's hard to beat)
4) JPW
5) Zow
5) Watts

His season isn't over so I reserve him a spot

Exactly, but it is looking good for him.

rgw · Nov 19, 2014

I kinda agree with the idea of letting Sims write his full story before making an assessment. He's definitely having the strongest first year campaign thus far. Of course, you're ultimately judged by hardware at the QB position though.

1) McCarron
2) Greg McElroy
3) Brodie Croyle
4) Andrew Zow
5) Tyler Watts
6) John Parker Wilson

If Sims can finish out with at least an SEC championship, I could argue putting him no lower than 4th...possible 3rd.

I can agree with that. I just have a special place in my heart for Blake. He's the kind of player you can't help but root for.

Capt. Jack · Nov 19, 2014

If you base this on winning percentage, you'd have to put Brandon Avalos #1.

I think he completed one pass in that Southern Miss game.

BA was 3 of 7 for 12 yards!
