Nick Saban names the 3 best QBs he's ever seen, also gives Trevor Lawrence a shoutout
Nick Saban has seen some great quarterbacks in his day — both as a coach in college and during his time as an NFL assistant.
But, who are the best of the best he’s ever seen? He was asked that question in a post-practice press conference on Thursday.
The answers he gave were John Elway, Dan Marino and Tom Brady, though he did give Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence a big-time shoutout:
#Alabama’s Nick Saban was asked who’s the best QB he’s seen over his 4 decades as a coach, & he cited John Elway, Dan Marino & Tom Brady before adding: “Trevor Lawrence played about as well against us last year in the championship game as anybody we’ve seen here in recent times.” pic.twitter.com/Gu8JLHTCTN

Those guys all have very different styles, but they were (or are, in the case of Brady) some of the best ever to step on an NFL field.
Will Lawrence follow in their footsteps? We’ll see if Alabama gets another crack at him if both teams make it to the College Football Playoff.
Stephen Garcia?

Lawerence is better than Tua.
35-28
*14 from Hurts himself without him game is not winnable with Tua still out there.
35-28
What does 35-28 mean?
It means UGA fans should pick a different fanbase to troll…
It means that Bamatime can’t get enough neurons to work together to create a counter-argument, so he just posts the score of the game. He makes it easy on himself by just rooting for whoever the best teams are, and thereby just thinks he wins arguments by default simply because it says “roll tide” on his bib.
All that matters is the score of the game…
35-28
Is he going by college ranks or NFL or both. In college I thought he would go with Cam Newton, Johnny Manziel, Trevor Lawrence, Tebow, or Stephen Garcia. Any of those three for college
He spelled Peyton Manning wrong.
He may not have coached against him?
All-pro Qb’s,,,,Legends no doubt,,,, Hall of gamers!!!!Marino threw a beautiful spiral way back I the day!!!! No static at all
I don’t think he ever coached against PFM.
Deshaun Watson?
He barely missed Mike Henig’s time.
He’s a special talent for sure. I’m glad my team doesn’t have to go up against either him or Tua this year.
Side note, but I can’t remember the last time three NFL prospects as good as Tua, TL, and Fromm were all playing CFB at the same time.
I like Saban’s list and can’t disagree with it. What do I know anyway? I have a day job; but I like Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, Bart Starr and Peyton Manning. Nothing to do with stats or the greatest. Just these are QBs I like.
Montana,,, record and clutch performance’s speak for themselves!!! West Coast O
