love your vids. dont know if u have a vid on guys that were walk-ons or low stars that went to big time school and became stars, first round draft picks. there has to be a few guys out there. keep killing it bra

[@joshmichaels9282]

i would have thought that this vid was going to be about Star Jackson tbh

[@tacticalmattfoley]

I can tell you what happened. Lane Kiffin started him over Jalen Hurts in the USC game. The first series, the receivers dropped the first three passes. They were wide open and hit them in the hands. Jalen came in and the offense took off. Blake new he would't be playing at Bama and transferred. The look on Blake's face after the first two series let me know the players didn't have his back after dropping all those passes and let me know he knew it too .

[@ScottFisherCFB]

dangg thats very sad

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Yea I remember Ridley dropping the first pass that was behind him but he just didn’t look confident out there.

[@GTgaming69]

I was at that game, season opener at At&t. At the time i wondered why he got pulled so early but after Jalen showed he was That Dude, its easy to forget. Wonder what he wouldve done if he played the full game.

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

@@ScottFisherCFB Scott don't believe in this "forgetful", or out right lying guy. Nothing he said was right outside of the Calvin Ridley drop. Barnett finished 5-6 for 100 with a TD in that game. His first 2 series he started 2-3. When Hurts got in he fumbled his first series, and went 3 and out his 2nd series. Lane decided to keep him in though.

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

For the record, I don't blame Barnett for leaving. Hurts was a true freshman and waiting for him to screw up over a 2 year span was not ideal.

Great to see this guy can finally get sponsors, great work bro

Have you reviewed Arkansas' Mitch Mustain? Probably the most highly touted highschool QB to ever come out of Arkansas. Won a state championship at Springdale Highscool and went on to play for Arkansas before transferring to USC where he did absolutely... nothing.

Mustain’s story is insane. He was in the era before 7-on-7 camps. Those camps are not only vetting talent, but are also vetting character.

[@Looscannon94]

I was a senior at Santiago when Blake was a freshman. I was pretty excited to finally have a note worthy athlete come from my HS (especially because literally all the FB talent goes to the HS 2 miles down the road with a national powerhouse team). It really is a shame how things turned out for him.

[@BiG_ABE]

I feel your pain our high school looses all of our talent to a school about 10 miles away and we are never good because all of our talent goes over there and we haven’t had a winning record in about 10 years; Our first year of our high school was 1998 and our talent stayed at our school and we made it to the 3rd round in the playoffs, then the next 2 years after that we made it to the playoffs ever since (2003) we’ve only had 1 or 2 winning seasons because our neighboring school takes our players by recruiting them and we really can’t succeed with the few maybe 2 or 3 actual athletes we get from our feeder middle school programs (we have 2 feeders) so we got a new coach and are starting to build up a team to beat them (they are our rival) which is kinda funny because because the last time we beat them was like 2013 but we are starting to build a team and be the underdogs this year. If you read this far your a real one🤣

Dude still was a great QB. Have you heard him speak lately? mature. has a family he seems to adore. So many things have to go right to go further than he did. Most of the people calling him a "bust" didn't start for their High school team. This dude played high level football. Get a life. He acts a LOT happier and mature than the dorks calling him a loser or bust.

[@Deweycox710]

I hate it for Barnett. I watched that USC Bama game and he just couldn't get it going but Hurts came in and fumbled the ball right away but it didn't get him down and Hurts goes on to have an amazing game and that's when it was over for Barnett at Bama and the beginning of the legendary Jalen Hurts then he would lose out to Tua in the same kind of fashion.

[@ScottFisherCFB]

[@joeblow2069]

I was concerned we had made a mistake pulling Blake so quickly in favor of Jalen. And yes it was a bit unfair to start a guy and then pull him after a couple of possessions. Blake came back into the game and made a big time NFL throw for a touchdown. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpfJm5ppqqermM0 By the Tennessee game nobody cared. Jalen was dominating with his legs. Now with 20/20 hindsight we know that Jalen was by far the better player. He almost won a Heisman and is playing pretty good ball in the NFL. Blake did little in his 2 stints with other programs. This says a lot about Nick Saban and his feel for talent. Barnett was the #2 dual threat QB according to Rivals in 2015. Hurts was the #9 in 2016. To pull a prospect of that caliber for a younger guy that quickly is extraordinary. Most coaches would have stuck with Barnett for a few games at least. Jalen obviously impressed the coaches as an early enrollee in spring.

[@THE_HMRC]

Blake Barnett did not want to WAIT for his time at Alabama, so he left.....And he played himself right out of being an NFL QB.....He should have stayed at Alabama. He would have gotten his moment, but his immaturity and EGO messed up his football career.....along with an injury just when his eligibility was running out. OUCH.

[@johnlee1297]

What exactly did he accomplish in college football?

[@williamhancock1029]

You could probably do a whole video on Bama's "fill-in" Qbs. Between McCarron & Hurts, there were several guys who managed at the position who were highly ranked recruits but never fulfilled their expectations (Cooper Bateman going from 4 star QB to 3rd Stringer at Utah). Between Blake Sims & Jake Coker, I'm pretty sure there was at least 1 National Championship.

You could get Into the magical year when we were #1.

[@8MoneyIzmyMission8]

Lol, bad luck my foot. Blake just wasn't as good as people thought. Even in his best year 12 TDs to 11 ints is awful. A talented guy going to a lower level of football should be a playmaker. These were the teams he played that year; 9-4 Marshall 8-5 Houston 8-5 Temple 7-6 Georgia Tech 7-6 Tulane 4-8 Illinois 4-8 UMASS 3-9 E. Carolina 3-9 Tulsa 1-11 UCONN FCS ELON He missed both games vs the only 2 ranked opponents on the schedule.

[@ConnorWilkins]

Idk Star Jackson was wildly rated and ended up never seeing anything

[@SHAYDEE3]

True freshman first game was against a good USC defense. Give him a break. He made NFL caliber throws in that game. The strike to for the Td was impressive and the throw to OJ was elite caliber. Deer in the headlights sure, for some players regardless of how talented you are the game is fast and the processing for a QB can become slow. Thats why you give them time, let them make their mistakes so the game can slow down and your natural talent takes over. They yanked him too fast. He did not look that bad to be yanked that fast. You have to have a growing up period. His ceiling was definitely higher than Jalen hurts, who years later would become the victim of the same situation with Tua. You wonder why Jalen handled it soo well, because he saw the mistakes Blake made being on the other end. As a player you have to go to a program regardless of your 4 or 5 ⭐ rating, choose a program with coaches who are willing to coach and teach and have patience with you as you mature as a player. You dont necessarily get that luxury regardless of your talent level at places like Bama because they are 3 or 4 deep with 4 ⭐ talent level or better at every position. So the coaches have the luxury of kicking you to the curb and moving to the next player, who could not be as talented or have a higher ceiling as you are, but they are playing and processing faster on the field than you are at that particular time in your young careers. I played D1 and I saw it first hand with another all time QB bust...Bobby Sablehaus...Great human being and in the end this is what REALLY matters...

Like I said he looked like his self vs bad teams against good teams not so much. So this BS about Jalen Hurts being good once he went to Oklahoma is not true at all . He was the same quarterback against worse defenses in the Big 12 then. Until he played LSU and got exposed bad. So I really don’t know what your saying the only big game that he played great in was at Alabama vs Georgia in the sec championship. What did he do at Oklahoma that he didn’t do at Alabama nothing is the answer he was no better at Oklahoma it is a fact.
