The Alabama Crimson Tide Motivational Poster Challenge

One of the most shopworn devices of the internet is the manipulation of the motivational poster. Online generators abound and all you need to do is upload a picture, add a snarky caption and post it. But even the most overused cliche can be re-invigorated with a hearty dose of sincerity.
So my challenge to you, my fellow Crimson Tide fans, is to create a motivational poster featuring some aspect of Alabama football. You'll find keeping within the poles of abject cynicism and fawning sentimentality can be more difficult than you might expect but, if you succeed it's completely worth the effort.
FanPosts are just that; posts created by the fans. They are in no way indicative of the opinions of SBN and the authors of Roll Bama Roll.

My fav.
BTW: Colt McTittybaby will be THE worst decision in Clev Browns history, maybe league history. He will not be able to play at the NFL level, because he tried playing at the NFL level against Bama D and failed miserably.
kind of confused by your hate
colt mccoy did everything he could to win that game and was damned gracious after the loss, which had to churn his guts the way it happened. he has never said or done anything to deserve the kind of abuse you are handing out there, buddy.
now the longhorn fans that won’t shut up about how their team “should have won”… they deserve every bit of what you’ve got to hand out.
Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
REALLY!?!
Colt McTittybaby will be THE worst decision in . . . league history
Even if he sucked balls that hard, is he really the worst decision in league history? The guy was the 85th pick overall. Even if he didn’t sprain his va-jay-jay, he wasn’t even projected to be atop five pick. Ryan Leaf, Tony Mandarich, Ki-Jana Carter, Joey Harrington, Akili Smith, Heath Shuler, and about a flabillion other top 5 flops are worse picks than Colt.

Tim Couch’s rookie contract, in 1999, was seven years for $48 million with $12.25 million guaranteed. Just taking regular inflation into account, not the hyper inflation that has gone on with NFL salaries, that would be worth $59.74 million with $15.25 guaranteed in 2007 dollars.
Now Quinn’s contract was 5 years for $20.2 million with $7.75 guaranteed. And then, when Quinn turned out to be a bust, they were able to recoup some of that value by trading him away.
All in all, Quinn was a bad decision, but I would have to say Couch was a much worse decision. Sure, Couch did lead them to a 9-7 season once and take them to the playoffs, but was he 3 times (the difference in their salaries) better than Quinn? Or, even twice (the difference in guaranteed money) as good as Quinn? I doubt it.
And, seriously, the Browns worst decision was and will always be Cleavland.
Is that near Cleveland?

Also I would just say that any given player failing (or getting injured) against Bama’s D doesn’t necessarily guarantee anything about what they will do on an NFL team, with NFL teammates around them.
