Even having said that, they said his biggest strength was his knowledge of the game and his ability to read a defense and go through progressions. They refer to him as a "cerebral QB."Has above average arm strength and will sometimes surprise you with arm strength you didn't think he had. Shows good touch on his underneath throws and does a nice job dropping the deep ball in over coverage.
JMHO, I would rather Bama get Smelley. He's a talented Bama kid who wants to be there and I rather have that anyday than an out-of-state guy who isn't sure. And lets be honest here. Tebows parents are Florida grads, right? Realistically, I just don't think he leaves the state. Also our depth at QB seems to be pretty good at this point. Whichever QB we get would most likely redshirt, I would think. Just my two cents.[Crimson Surfer]
Chris Smelley is one of the most talented QBs in the Southeast. He is very comparable to Auburn's prized QB commitment Neil Caudle. Some unsubstantiated rumors are floating around that he may just commit on his visit to Ole Miss this weekend. I don't believe that but anything can happen. Let's hope the Bama whooping of Ole Miss and the Bama coaching staff will have something to say about that not taking place.
I would like to see him get an offer from Bama but right not he does not have an offer but he may get one if he remains patient. Some people are speculating that he is growing tired of waiting on the Tebow situation. I certainly hope he will not rush the decision to commit, especially to Ole Miss. The facts are that OM already has two pretty good QB commitments from a Texas and a California QB that are both rated 3 stars by Scout.com and he obviously wants to play for Bama. I believe if he is remains patient he may just get that chance if either Tebow goes elsewhere or he accepts a gray shirt offer for 07. John Parker Wilson did and he was a Parade AA and he is now second string. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out for a number of reasons.
Im with I hope he doesnt get away I have a feeling if he gets away he may end up being like Philip Rivers, which to this day I still wonder how he got away from Bama and Auburn.Crimson Hawk said:Somehow, I hope CS doesn't get away. I get a feeling he's gonna be a good QB, & would be a good "fit" at Bama.
Not so fast my friend! Tebow and Smelley are not comparable. TT is the #1 ranked QB in the nation, period. Smelley will be a good one, but Tebow is going to be a great one. I am satisfied with the recruiting of QB's this season by CMS and staff. :BigA:teamplayer said:It seems to me that if Smelley and Tebow are comparable QB's

Tim Tebow is one of the top QBs but actually Georgia's commit Matthew Stafford is the # 1 rated QB overall and Arkansas' commit Mitch Mustain is # 2 rated ahead of Tim Tebow who is the # 3 overall rated QB. Tebow is the # 1 rated "Dual-threat" quarterback by Rivals.com.HuntsvilleTider said:Not so fast my friend! Tebow and Smelley are not comparable. TT is the #1 ranked QB in the nation, period.

I seem to remember a pretty fair QB coming out of the small town of Rainbow City.bamaslammer said:I think Smelly would be more of a hot commodity if he played at a large school. The guys at the small schools always have that knock against them. Smelly is however a big kid, pro size QB.
Brodie not only came from a small town, he played at a small high school .......just goes to show, if you got it, you got it.......& we all know Brodie's DEFINATELY got it! :wink:rizolltizide said:I seem to remember a pretty fair QB coming out of the small town of Rainbow City.![]()
