Mel Kiper calls Alabama overrated, overhyped

  • NoVaNoles said...

    Nobody really makes them out to be unbeatable that has a brain

    The media always sweats the best team and that pisses people off, and makes it seem as if Alabama is unbeatable

    I have been saying all year that a few defenses are as good if not better

    FSU and LSU are the most impressive defenses I have seen with Bama and UF right there with them

    And ND is right behind them, those are the 5 truly elite defenses in america

    Add this with Bama's offense and they aren't some unbeatable force that does everything better than everybody, but they are certainly tough to beat cause of the style they play and how good they are at playing it

    Yeah. Pretty much agree with this.

    Mel Kiper Sept 20.2012 ESPN live Chat:

    quote:
    "I disagree. I think there’s an overreaction to Alabama right now. They beat a depleted Michigan team and depleted Arkansas team. Alabama has not been tested yet, even though people want to act like these were statement games. At Missouri won’t be easy. At LSU. At Tennessee. Those aren’t easy games. I think Alabama is a little overrated. I hate to say that, because Nick Saban is one of the best coaches out there."

    This does not nearly sound like how the OP made it sound....

    Says they were extremely lucky to beat LSU and they are not head and shoulders better than everybody else like most people think. Thoughts?

    Oh yeah, when AJ McCarron heard this statement, he broke down and started crying again

    That is because it isnt the same statement I was referencing. That was from 5 or 6 weeks ago. Kiper ripped on Alabama again today.

    That wasn't Mel's Quotes from today. That was from Sept 20. I was just making the point that if anyone cared what Mel thought then we've beaten all those tough opponents he said we were gonna have.

    We don't have to be head and shoulders above everyone else. We just have to be 1 point better from here on out. Mel Kiper can have an opinion like everyone else but that does not make him right. I think he is an idiot on any subject outside the NFL Draft. See, I can do it too. Only thing that matters is Alabama is ranked #1 and *U is ranked 109.

    So what's your point? Mel Kiper is NOT a someone you would get good football analysis from...
    Like I posted earlier, he is considered a joke in NFL circles.

  • Hey Aubie25, while it MAY BE debatable wether or not Alabama is BEATABLE, one thing is definitley not up for debate, and that is that auburn is the laughing stock of the SEC and the entire college football world. They are so far behind alabama and the rest of the SEC it is funny as hell. All that money spent on all your supposed great recruiting classes that auburn paid money for and what is their record? 2-7, i repeat 2-7. Auburn is winless in the SEC. You barely beat LaMonroe by beating them AT HOME in OVERTIME!!! You beat a New Mexico State and that is it! Your coach had to hire a private firm to babysit your players so they wont go out and shoot people, or invade people in their own homes with loaded guns, and keep the team from ganging up on guy and cracking beer bottles over their head causing them to come back shooting the players. Your program is the definition of a dumpster fire. Once they fire chizik, they are not going to hire someone like pete carroll, jim harbaugh, bill cowher, john gruden, jeff fisher, or any NFL head coach. Auburn tries so hard to compete with bama and you are coming up extremely short. All auuburn fans can do is throw stupid post like you do talking about some a$$ hat that thinks its a possibilty alabama could get beat ONCE. That is so dam funny! Any college teams fan would love to be in the position bama fans are in. You would love to be in our world where this is the best your rival can do. Bring up some statement mel kiper jr made. We have lost 4 games in the past 3 seasons!!! Your team has lost 7 this season that isn't even over!!! Tell me how does that feel?

    If anyone is overrated, it is Mel Kiper. Ask any NFL people and they will tell you that they don't know how he has a job. I mentioned his name to an NFL friend of mine and he literally laughed out loud BEFORE I even asked him what he thought of Kiper's analysis...

    lol "your NFL friend"

    My father-in-law was a head coach at two Division I schools and was also an assistant in the NFL. Several of my college teammates played and coached in the NFL.

    Golly, those offenses are horrible. Like each of those teams played a game where they got no points and no yards.

    Thank goodness for the pure luck that has masked our lack of coaching and defensive talent. We'll just have to keep our fingers in the dike.

    A little over a month ago he said We had tough games against Mizzou, Tennessee and Mississippi State. The man doesn't have a clue. I like his NfL stuff but he's not a college football analyst. He's entitled to his opinion and one day guys like him ,Greise, Pollack and Jesse Palmer will be right. Alabama will eventually lose again.

    I would call Mel Kiper overrated & over-hyped. He's slipping these last few years. That one year he literally didn't get but 1 or 2 first round picks right. That may have been the Brady Quinn draft but I'm not sure.

  • Alabama may be beatable. But I'll tell you one thing...Auburn sure as fvck can't do it. I'm thinking something along the lines of 84-0. Aubie, you coming to T-Town for the "contest"?
