Bucky Brooks, an analyst for NFL Network, has the best analogy for quarterbacks.
“Truck or trailer” is his gauge on players.
The truck is a quarterback carrying the team. The position does all the heavy lifting, makes all the big plays, overcompensates for inconsistencies, and must come up huge in critical moments. The trailer, on the other hand, is a quarterback carried by the team.
In replacing Mac Jones as Alabama’s quarterback, Bryce Young is a truck.
The Crimson Tide lost Najee Harris, DeVonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Landon Dickerson, Deonte Brown, and Alex Leatherwood to the National Football League.
