FIRST TAKE | Ty Simpson is a generational talent! - Shannon on Alabama beating South Carolina 29-22

If you have 13mins of spare time I recommend watching this Shannon Sharpe & Ocho nails it exactly..

He's a really good player, but idk if I'd tab him as a "generational" talent.

Then again, maybe I’m not even sure what that means.

What’s a football generation?

Unc and Ocho going back and forth on Bernard and Williams

Every 2-4 years it seems like, lol.

Last year, “generational talent” was Sanders:

Generational talent or generational hype? It's all same for Shedeur Sanders before NFL draft

There's a lot to like about Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders ahead of the NFL draft. Just skip the talk of "generational" talent.

Yup make a good point..I consider Derrick Henry or Bo Jackson generational type players, I'm not saying Ty isn't a generational type talent, give him time earning that kinda praise..

Ty's off too a great start though..

My youngest is 16 and we were just talking about how there have been like 10 “generational” QB prospects in the last 5 years.

I feel like there has to be a Yogi Berra quote for this situation.

“Good point son…Generational QBs only come around like twice a year…”

Gen Talent for us:

Bennett
Thomas

Henry

Smitty
Tua

Will Anderson

Those 6 were unstoppable on the field by the opposition for the most part and ready to make an impact immediately.

Only thing that held Tua back was Health and Locksley

Only thing that held Anderson back was Golding.

But those 6 for the most part had to have entire game plans created around keeping them in check and they mostly failed.

That to me is Generational. The ‘Don’t come around often unstoppable’ players.

How about, “ If he stays inbounds, Lee Roy’ll get him. “ ?

He was before my time so I unfortunately never saw him play but my Dad talked about him a lot for sure.

My 1st memories of Bama Football start around ‘84-‘85.
