2013 NCAAF Week 11

[Brian Fowler]

If Winston can freelance successfully against them, FSU can score. That had always been the one thing Sabin teams have struggled with; QBs who can make things up on the fly.

[EVA]

You keep repeating that, and it's just not true. Saban has won against far more dual-threat QBs than he has lost against.

Really, the only true dual-threat QBs that he's lost to since he got the train rolling in 08 were Tebow, Cammy Cam, and Johnny Football. AKA: Heisman winners. So, I think what you're really saying is "have the best player in the country on your team, and you have a chance." Which is true. And Winston may have the hardware to fit the criteria come January.

But just having a guy who can "freelance" isn't enough. Saban has chewed up and spit out his fair share of guys who fit that descripion. ('Sup, Denard.) Just this season alone, he fucking destroyed Logan Thomas and Bo Wallace like they were D2 quarterbacks. (He will also be discarding Nick Marshall in a similar fashion after Thanksgiving, so watch for that.)

[JRGoldman]

Calling Denard a dual threat only works if you count his left foot and right foot separately, because his arm sure as shit wasn't a factor.

[EVA]

Not a great pocket passer, sure, but until Johnny usurped him, the undisputed king of just running around, throwing the ball up, and something good happening.

[Brian Fowler]

Denard was the ultimate bad team destroyer. Put absurd numbers against the dregs, generally did nothing against good teams.
