Paul Finebaum caller claims Bryce Young is 'way better' than Tua Tagovailoa
Bryce Young is the top-rated quarterback in the 2020 recruiting class, and he comes to Alabama with high expectations.
However, the Bryce Young hype train is racing out of control after a call on “The Paul Finebaum Show” on Monday.
As you can hear in the video below, caller “Mike from Kentucky” said Young will be “way better” than Tua Tagovailoa:

“Bryce Young is not only better than Tua Tagovailoa — he’s way better than Tua Tagovailoa,” Mike said. “Did you know that kid played the best talent the U.S. has to offer? I noticed him 2 years ago when he defeated IMG Academy. Even I-Man (another Finebaum caller) knows who IMG Academy is, Paul. It’s a freakin’ 4- and 5-star academy. They can’t even play for state titles they’re so loaded with talent. Bryce Young played 10 times the talent Tua did in high school and threw for a hundred more touchdowns. He is extraterrestrial good, Paul.”
Obviously, that’s a lot of hype for a guy who has yet to take a snap at Alabama. We’ll see if Young can live up to it.
Much like the comment boards on these sites, whoever can come up with the most outlandish claims usually get the most attention. This guy doesn’t even know how to say Tagovailoa yet his sound bite is plastered on Finebaums official twitter.
Yeah, reminds me of BubbaTime
We needed this QB bad.
but Coach still went out and got 2nd best punter.
And I was a fan before we got busted by the NCAA
Uh oh.. You’re posting under the wrong account… LMAO…
Those multiple personalities can be hard to manage. What a maroon.
I’m on board the Bryce Young hype train..I think he’s going to be a great one…but making the kind of claims this guy is doing is just ridiculous… considering he hasn’t took one snap at Alabama yet..
This kid is legit. The Lions, Jags and Bears (oh my) are already tanking for him.
It’s hard to argue with any projections or ratings about Bryce Young when you look at where he played and the kind of numbers he put up.
If I wanted to know about Finnebaum show I would watch it. SDS uses his show to fill up space.
People who have the slightest idea how High School vs College vs Pro Football works, I will try to break it down for you.
In Highschool, you’re playing against usually Local maybe a few regional games the way the sport is set up now.
In College, you’re playing against a collection of the best highschool players across the country. On your own team, there is a chance 15-20 kids could very well be from a different state. A collection of HS All Americans going up against one another every day in practice..
In the Pros, you are now going up against the very best college kids from all over the country. On a 53 NFL Roster, there could very well be 35-40 different Colleges represented..
So with that being said..How is it possible for any human being to believe that a High Schooler has played against tougher competition than a guy that has played 3 SEC seasons?
If I were Paul, I would’ve hung the phone up the minute the caller made that rediculous comment.
Let me explain how it is important to listen and read. The caller said that Young played against better high school talent. So your lecture about the levels of football was unnecessary.
Any chance Bryce starts??
He’ll probably start the second half of the UGA game. Saban loves playing his backups against us.
Well, can’t wait to see him play at the college level. Hope it’s a good game between y’all!
I think I’ll wait until he actually plays a game before I say he’s “way better” than Tua. Call me crazy
1. He’s not WAY batter than Tua but he is certainly on Tua’s level.
2. I don’t really need to watch him take college snaps because I’ve seen him take high level high school snaps and the way the kid moves, throws accurately at all three levels inside and outside of the pocket, and the way he can throw from all sorts of different platforms, he is basically an exact mold of the modern Heisman QB.
What I’ve viewed on Bryce Young is quite impressive. As long as he is slowly moved into games, he might have the ability to start by game 5 or 6 ? At Clemson, Trevor Lawrence started the fifth game of his freshman year(but vs. ACC defenses). We’ll see.
I think he’s gonna get PT starting in week 1. I think it’s anyone’s guess as to when he fully takes over.
One of the reasons I hate the PFS is his insistence on exhibiting a plethora of illiterate unintelligent redneck hillbillies whose very comments are highly suggestive of a strong history of consanguinity. Not to mention the ones who are obviously under the influence of mind altering substances. The only mildly redeeming quality is that he occasionally has a good guest (not caller) who is talking about the only thing that matters: CFB and preferably SEC CFB.
Some of the PFS callers may have consumed a few “tall boys” too many, true. I watch it maybe once per week for the laughs, no more. One thing for sure is that Paul has good connections in the biz and his guests are definitely in the know.
No doubt he will win the Heisman Trophy three times then go to the NFL and win the Super Bowl his rookie year.
