You don't account for draft busts

 

How many of the 15-20 players in bama who gets drafted or make the roster stick for 5+ years? 

 

How many become NFL impact players ? And how many become bench players and fringe guys?

 

They don't have 20 long term NFL starter's

Not too many busts come out of schools like Bama and Clemson.  And I'm pretty sure the Dolphins don't have anywhere near "20 long term NFL starters."

People who never played don't understand this, but it's just reality.

Not according to NFL players who actually played at Alabama.  I think they might have a pretty good idea.

I can promise you the Dolphins don't.

People asked this question about the Bills last year. The defense the Bills are running ie a top notch NFL defense shutting down NFL caliber teams full of NFL caliber talent...this year is pretty much exactly the same as last year. People were saying Alabama would have had a shot to compete. It's complete lunacy.

And every guy on the Dolphins is a bona fide NFL star?

Seems like we've hashed this out every season, often with our Bills as the hapless pro team suggested as losing.

 

The outcome is always that good as Alabama is, the overall quality of the roster on the worst pro team is just better.

Might they be a little biased?

 

Q. Williams, guaranteed Bama stud top of the table 2019...injured and largely ineffective his first year thus far. It's just a different game.

It was the Bills last year tho...and it's still a no brainer.

Really?  When was that decided?

Thank you for offering actual facts.  I'm pretty sure you'll be one of the few in this thread to do so.  My favorite responses are the ones that say the Tide players would all be seriously injured, as if these SEC players aren't all grown-ass men.  

You do realize that two SEC grown ass men olinemen, Jonah Williams and Williams on the Jets are already hurt right?

Fitz , devanate Parker, Jakeem Grant, Kenyan Drake , mike gasecki and Allen hurns would put up 45 atleast on bama

 

Probably 50+

There was a long thread on this issue last year, and the majority of the posts saying Alabama would get killed are like this one by Buffalo716: No real evidence offered (other than misinformation), just blanket statements with nothing to back them up. 

 

Fact:  All 22 starters on Alabama this year will have a shot in the NFL, and perhaps 15-18 will make NFL rosters.  Of those, most will be drafted and there are probably 6-8 who will be first round picks, although not all in 2020.  On the 90-man roster, I'd guess that there are 40 or more who will have a very good shot at playing pro football.  Unlike NFL teams, Alabama is not limited to one first round pick per year; each recruiting class has probably 4 to 6 future first or second round picks.  Clemson and Ohio State aren't far behind.   

 

Miami on the other hand probably has 10 players who wouldn't make most NFL rosters and has a number of guys on their team who probably would not start for Alabama.  Robert Foster, for example, was the Bills' best receiver last year and he was a backup at Alabama the previous year. 

 

I think it would be a competitive game and there's a good chance Alabama would win.    

 

It would be a blowout.

 

Every rookie will tell you the hardest thing to adjust to is the NFL speed.  These Alabama players have never seen it but you think they’ll just adjust to it immediately in a 4 quarter game?

 

Some of their starters are still teenagers.

 

I forgot which rookie QB said it a few years ago....but basically said in college you’ll get about 5 different looks on defense.  In the NFL...it’s 20.  The playbook is 1/5 of the size. 

 

Miami would win by 40.

How soon people forget about Johnny 8 Ball and Swag Kelly lighting up Alabama.

Bama has a bunch of NFL players on the roster. The Dolphins have 100% NFL players, if not top tier guys. Bama’s best might be the stars on Miami, but you need a complete roster to play an NFL game.
