BREAKING Alabama QB Jalen Milroe to return for senior season

AlexanderFan said:
I’m still here, and he’s still a below average distributor of the ball to the talented playmakers around him. He’s inaccurate on the mid range throws, late on them as well. He also has a tendency to lock on to favorites and throw into dangerous coverage. He has yet to show he can consistently go through his progressions to the checkdowns. His intern clock is off and he refuses to avoid sacks by throwing the ball away.

Has he improved? Absolutely, more than any Alabama player at any position in recent memory. Does the team believe in him? Obviously they do, as does the coaching staff.

Just because people didn’t “feel” Milroe means the critiques of his play were incorrect. It also doesn’t mean people hope he fails, because that means the team fails as well.

Milroe coming back is the most beneficial decision for both parties involved: Milroe needs the teaching, and Alabama needs a veteran presence to navigate next year’s schedule.

JM gives his team a better chance to win than Bryce Young ever did.

I said best "chance" to win. Not greatest statistical QB of his generation. Bryce is a great QB, but JM is a better leader. He shows better judgment in critical situations, and he frankly doesn't have the weapons Bryce had at WR. JM has three underclassman on his offensive line.

It's time folks around here quit *****footing around and just get behind this young man. So, yea, I'm saying I'd take JM over Bryce any day of the week. He’s not losing another game at Bama.

Are you related to Jalen? I'll take "college" Bryce 10 times a day and twice on Sunday.

We'll have W Kentucky and South Florida to start the season, then Wisky and a bye before SEC action when the Dawgs come to town. Milroe should be even more dangerous than he was in the SECCG.

Would Saban trust him against South Florida?

Swap the two out last year with that defense and o line and Alabama loses 4 or 5 games.

You put BY on this team with these coordinators and he has another Heisman, Alabama is number 1, and Texas doesn’t beat Alabama.

BY won in spite of BoB, JM would not be able to overcome that.

Steele with Anderson, Turner, and Braswell? BY probably has two national championships.

The turnaround on this team is because of the coordinators, not the “competitor” under center.

Sayin and Williams coming in January? Sayin sits a year and takes over?

With Burton leaving I could see Ryan Williams making a push for lots of time.

Milroe 1, Sayin 2....no idea on others, depends on the portal.

I think that fans get too caught up in the moment. Last year was a train wreck for Alabama. One that started years before and played out in slow motion. I am excited to see how Alabama moves past that mess. Milroe is certainly helping. But those posts ignore the mess that Alabama was during the Bryce Young years.

Mainly from a coordinator aspect of the team. The talent was there.

The turnaround had somewhat to do with coordinators, but a lot more to do with mentality. The overwhelming anxiety is gone. Team leadership seems better. They rally to each other instead of relying on one player to make a play.

It will be interesting to see what type of player Milroe will be next year. Will he be hesitant to run fearing injury would hurt his draft status. Will he revert back to trying to be a pocket passer instead of a dual threat QB, which is his strength. He could really be special if he is motivated and plays to his strengths.

Hopefully it's about more than just winning the locker room. If he doesn't win a Championship this year, then a lot of the concerns we've had about him will come rushing back. If Texas does the same thing to him that they did last time, then I'm not sure he deserves to be the starter. We are just gonna have to see what happens in the playoffs. If he wins it, then he obviously deserves to be the starter, but there's still work to be done

OMG. If he doesn't win a Championship this year? I guess every freaking team but one will have concerns at QB next year.

So, JM announced he is returning for his senior year a whole year in advanced? Isn't he just a RS Junior next year and would still have 1 more year of eligibility?

And you’d have zero national championships to show for it. This isn’t about which QB casual fans fancy. JM is a better competitor than Bryce Young.

JM hasn't won a national championship yet either so, maybe pump the breaks a little already.


Man, some of these new posters are really aggressive.
