My father is a 9'er fan and really hopes you're right about Lance. He asked me when was the last time Alabama produced a great NFL QB. I said...Joe Namath. He said something about it being 60 years ago and I told him "that means they're due."
It would be more fun to tease him about it if we at least beat them once in the last couple years.
For the record, I do think Jones is their best option. It's scary to think they can build their team around a QB with a rookie contract. The Rams will be better initially but they will be set for the longer haul under the cap.
