The last 12+ months have been filled with criticisms of JM, but he's kept his head down, kept working. He could have bolted when Saban retired, but he stayed here and kept doing the work, leading by example. So far this season the improvement has been substantial:

Thank you to JM for ignoring the negativity and continuing the work to improve. I know he hasn't reached his ceiling yet, but I do know Bama can win another NC under him if he continues to do the work - which I know he will.

RTR!

I’m so old, I thought the picture was an American Megatrends boot up screen…

In all seriousness, Jalen Milroe has shown remarkable improvement the last two games. He finally started throwing short over the middle against UGA, and it really seems like the lights have come on. Add in the Ryan Williams factor on the outside, and I just don’t see how any defense can stop us all game. UGA has the best defense we will face in the regular season, and Milroe made them look silly at times. Let’s hope his early success this year continues and leads to bigger and better things.

I should point out his LONE interception this year is after the ball bounced out of the hands of our receiver.

He's been Phenomenal and especially the last 2 games vs Wisc and UGA.

His full stats through 4 games are:

62 of 85 (72.9%) for 964 Yards Passing (11.3 YPA) and 10 TD's and 1 INT (Fluke ricochet)

52 Carries for 273 yards (5.2 YPC) and 8 TD's

1,237 Total Yards and 18 Total TD's

He's on pace for 3,700 Yards and 54 TD's for just the regular season!!

Plus it looks like he just keeps getting better every game this season which is a compliment to both his hard work and coachability as well as the fact he now finally has access to great Offensive minds.

The plays he was making in the intermediate and short game vs UGA were just Beautiful.

If that continues to develop in addition to his already great Deep Ball game then he will become almost impossible to defend.

Every DC on our schedule has to be scared to death of what they saw on Saturday.

G'On Jalen!!!

@crimsonaudio I've told you before and I'll say it again. I went to school at FSU back in the 90s and Jalen's game reminds me so much of Charley Ward. Now Ward was a lot better at reads and he was a 4.0 student, but JM's game reminds me so much of watching Ward play.

The kid has improved. As CNS would say you have never arrived, so he needs to avoid the rat poison, keep his head down, remain humble and keep striving for improvement. There is a long way to go on this mountain climb. Roll Tide Roll

You saw JM do something very special on Saturday. Throwing receivers open. I thought he had a phenomenal performance but more importantly I’ve seen improvement precisely in the areas we were looking for.

I’d also point out that he showed steadfast loyalty to the program. I think we’re in for a special season.

Jalen does indeed deserve all the accolades after his performance Saturday night. If Jalen continues to improve on last Saturday's performance, he and the team will be bringing home some hardware at the end of this season. His draft status had to shoot out the roof after the Georgia game.

Lots of good stuff here!!! The regular season rate should be 3x though, not 4x…so ONLY 54 TDs, etc…
