Some people will never understand being good at something.But your heart just isn't in it anymore

[@scottbaron121]

I relate to this guy. Back in the 80's...I wasn't the "5 star" guy...but I had offers to smaller schools. My heart just wasn't in it. I didn't LOVE, LOVE football that much. I wanted to be a STUDENT. Join a fraternity and have that "college experience" that athletes don't fully get. I don't regret my decision a bit. My "heart" wasn't in the game. I had bigger fish to fry.

[@yayinternets]

This is not meant to be shade in any way; he seems like the kind of guy with solid, wealthy parents and probably didn't need an NFL payday to do just fine in life. Seems like he made the right decisions he could at the time and has turned out to be a solid dude. You love to see it.

Why not? When u play in the NFL u have to play in the cold. So why not get ready for it? Why just play in the heat? But yet all Alabama QBs suck anyway. They only had 2 good ones. Joe Nathan, and the dude from Miami dolphins.. everyone else pretty much sucked!!

Being a rich pro football player is not the pinnacle of success! The dude happened to play football and be good at it! He also happened to be a great husband, father, and grill master! People need to stop projecting what they think a successful life is! He looks happy, his family looks happy, and he looks to be successful with his business!

[@Mrgoat007]

When he committed to Notre Dame, he was 4th, but when he decommitted and committed to Bama, he became number one without any improvements. shitty rankings

[@allnightlong402]

Matt, I have been following you for sometime now. First thanks for this video! I always wondered what happened to Bama starting QB who was ahead of Jalen Hunts. As I recalled that year Bama Offensive Line was not good. Blake was suppose to be a stud but without blockers he looked suspect! If Jalen Hurts first read wasn't open he would just run. Without a QB spy that threw off the defense and made Jalen looked like a stud. With Blakes injury he did what was best for him and his family. Once again thanks for everything you do. ROLL TIDE!

[@ghostwalker89]

You can say what you want, but Barnett was just making excuses. He came from money, and when it was shown that he was clearly overrated from the rankings, he moved on 3 separate times before an injury said, "im done." Dude never had any real love for football and you can see that.

[@gearheadgaming1537]

He had options. A lot of guys feel like their only option is football, thus they put 110% into it. A lot of the best athletes (there are exceptions) come from poor opportunities. He wasn't worried about facing poverty if he didn't make it. The decisions he made in recruiting and college career weren't very well guided either

[@ghostwalker89]

@@gearheadgaming1537 agree with everything you said.

[@chrispalmer7291]

Bama fan here and a big Blake Barnett supporter. I was so disappointed when he didn't win the starting job at Bama. Lane Kiffin was a great OC but he always favored the running QBs and not the pocket passers. As for Saban, I would point out that he had great relationships with other offensive players such as Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, D Henry, etc, so I think that's not a fair statement. But Barnett is winning at life because he has a gorgeous wife and family, and he's got a good career. I'm glad he's doing well. The NFL may be flashy but it comes with a price, so I don't blame anyone for not having the desire to play in the NFL.

[@KnightWolf1986]

[@ghostwalker89]

Dude made excuses, quit immediately when he wasn't the starter, and quit football altogether after one injury. He never really cared about it much. He came from money, so none of this bothers him.

[@poseyjames4365]

Barnett has that "Zach Wilson" look about him. Jalen Hurts replaced Barnett back then and now Hurts earns $51 million per season. It just wasn't in the cards for Barnett.

[@7l083]

He did make it further than you!

[@BamaBoyJosh]

Pulling up the stats for that USC game was very disingenuous. He recorded pretty all those yards and the TD in garbage time in the fourth against backups.

He alluded to the fact he didn’t sell out multiple times.. IF TOU DONT SELL OUT FOR YOURE PASSION.. SONEONE ELSE WILL!!

[@user-bd9lw5ie7l]

Great video of the real story on Blake. I know the feeling of disconnect with a new coach. Had no idea the full reason on why he transferred midseason. Us Bama grads/fans think our school is the end all-be all, but sometimes it’s just not a good fit. Not for everyone. I enjoy your videos and sense of humor. You bash people but usually cut them slack in the end to stay objective. Roll Tide. PS. You should definitely try to get Agiye Hall on the show. Hope he’s gotten his act together and has a good year.

The reason Jalen Hurts stayed for the whole season was so he didn't get his schoolwork interrupted. Student first, athlete second. Worked out pretty well for him.

Literally most pro football players don’t start till junior year

[@lornesguitarcompany6504]

That's how recruiting works. Ever notice how if Alabama, Ohio State or Georgia even looks a players way he jumps 1 or 2 stars in the rankings. As soon as they do, every other program is putting them on the radar. And that is part of the reason some kids with skills and potential will slip through the cracks and then end up at directional state U leading an upset of a major program.
