WVU Pat White

White didn't fit into the Alabama offense.

and Star Jackson does? No. It was all Mike Shula. There's no such thing as someone not fitting into an offense. This is Nick Saban giving people a chance to play their position. Obviously Bednarik didn't fit into their offense either, that's why they went and got Pat White. Because Auburn and Alabama both denied him. LSU wanted him to play corner and he didn't want that. Now last year AU started running spread when they could've started with White.

Pat White isn't a passer Alabama is a Dynasty WVU is not hate to say that... Pat White isn't a franchise QB he is a wildcat scrambler and play action QB in clutch moments.

MIA drafted Pat White for one reason their wildcat form so encase you didn't know then THAT... marks him as a certain style of QB that fits into a certain style of offense & Pat White wasn't the right guy for the Tide if he had been they would have picked him up, you got a lot to learn about football if you think that way.

if MIA hadn't been looking for a wildcat guy Pat White might not have been drafted at all if he had been it would had been in about the 5th-6th round and he would have been a bench warmer and probably faded away about about 5-6 years of being in & out of free agency.

He has talent but no one wants to take a risk on that style of QB.

I know that's why MIA drafted him and they were very smart to do so. But like I said, Saban is giving Star Jackson a chance to play the position and he is very much not a QB, but a scrambler and play action passer like you said about Pat. Pat is faster, has a better arm and knows the game alot better than Star and wasn't given a chance. Saban comes in and tries what he wants instead of what "fits". It was really about what the fans wanted with Shula.

I live in Alabama and I can tell you that the fans are all about who has the "look" of an Alabama QB (prep white kid). Of course Andrew Zow was an exception but alot of people here didn't take too kindly to him.

he had 10x the combine performance compared to John Parker Wilson

Actually he was projected to go in the 3rd to 4th round. He raised his stock in the Meineke Car Care Bowl and senior bowl. He also had a good combine draft.

yeah i wish they'd give him some playing time, he takes a few snaps and runs it, maybe 1 or 2 pass attempts and hes done for the day, same with michael vick

The Tide didn't pick him up because they didn't think he could play QB and they were obviously wrong. It had nothing to do with Alabama not thinking he would fit in. If they could go back in time they would go after him without even thinking about.
