Alabama Football has been fortunate to have many great quarterbacks. The Alabama Crimson Tide has also had many great receivers. Choosing the ten best at either position is a challenge. The task of picking the ten best quarterback and receiver duos more than doubles the difficulty.
Like every exercise in ranking Alabama Football’s all-time best, how the game was played in different eras makes it impossible to only use stats. Alabama Football had great quarterbacks and receivers in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s.
Harry Gilmer threw just 88 passes in the 1945 season. In the 1960s, Steve Sloan set an Alabama Crimson Tide, career record for completion percentage.
