Easily one of the most accomplished quarterbacks of the modern era, you either loved him…or you didn’t. His contributions to Tide football cannot be questioned, however.
For the person tabbed to play quarterback for the University of Alabama, the experience can be a blessing or a curse. Held up to the bright lights of historically great signal callers who wore the crimson and white, some have failed to live up to expectations, sputtering into obscurity while drawing the ire of disappointed Alabama fans. Others have used the opportunity to shine, to transcend, to carve out the kind of gridiron fame that is only possible in a football-obsessed state like Alabama.
