Wisconsin has played 2 teams with a pulse, losing to both. USC put well over 300 yards passing up on them. We didn't even get 200, only throwing the ball 17 times, which in the modern game is a very low number. The issues were still there, but the badgers don't have the ability to expose it like many SEC teams do.
Questions about Milroe.

The human element plays a role here as well. Many of the parents, grandparents, etc that raised these young people were taught these things at some point through their maturation process. It is in our DNA to be greedy. When money gets involved, whether the more mature person knows better or not, they will seek to take care of themselves and will encourage their offspring to do the same. We have heard since we could speak that "money is the root of all evil" but the reality is greed is. Greed is permeating in CFB today. Unless regulations are put in place, nothing will change that.
Let me help you. Read what you wrote again.
What you are saying is he's boom/bust; .500 in big games; undependable in the clutch.
Why should Bama have a QB with those credentials???
When we start trying to validate our team based on a win against Wisconsin, we are in bad shape...
Well we lost to a team that lost to Georgia State and barely beat Ball State, so validating the Wisconsin win is not that egregious.
I coined it a while ago. It's finally starting to catch on.
No one is trying to validate our success based on a Vanderbilt loss. Try again...
AND I didn’t say that shouldnt matter one bit. Just saying that *might* be a reason Milroe isnt straight up with coaches, atheltic staff, etc about how injured he is. Again, IF this is the case and IF he’s injured. Milroe knows if others are better than him. After all this is just a bunch of message board fodder. We could be right or very well may be horribly off on the whole situation.
Please define this term for the board, or at least for @AUDub
I'm not singling you out. I'm saying the people that are suggesting Nilroe should be benched because he might be injured are completely missing the point. It doesn't matter if he's injured. He should be benched because he has destroyed our program.
Nope. If Milroe is as bad as you say he is (and he has been bad I’m not denying that), and Ty is this magic elixir that’s going to fix all of our problems then we should be confident in the rest of the games right?
I've never screamed "throw the ball" as much in my life! lol...he holds it for an eternity and then throws into coverage or way over wide open players. It's especially a lottery in the Red Zone and 1st and goal...he does not want to throw quickly into a tight window, it seems...he also struggles to lead receivers and throw them open...it is either behind them or right in the chest, so they don't have the momentum to run after the catch. I dont think we see any change this week despite the obvious need to do so
a bazooka is way more accurate. I prefer to think about it like a smoothbore musket. It's going to go generally in the direction it's aimed, but no one really knows exactly where it will end up.
I agree. If Ty starts and beats a quality Mizzou team the job should be his especially if the difference is significant between he and Milroe.
I'm sorry but if you are a coach and can't tell if a player is injured or not you shouldn't be coaching. A JV coach can look at his QB's throwing motion, accuracy, facial expressions, (insert 400 other things), and tell if he is alright to play. Like someone said above, if he's hurt he needs to be on the bench, if he isn't hurt he definitely needs to be on the bench.
I worked at and studied the mechanics of throwing for a number of years. Thinking about it now it is clear that it begins with basic motor skills that have to be developed literally from childhood on. Tua's Dad did that!
I have never envisioned Milroe with his mechanics being successful as a QB. It does not appear that he reacts well to pressure and then everything comes apart with his mechanics.
It will take years and a lot of professional help for him to have confidence in throwing the football under pressure.
Fair enough. I think in years past, we've had enough NFL-level talent that stayed for 3 years to overcome the "mental errors" that Saban referenced so much the last few years. Not sure if that's the case this year. Add a new staff and schemes and you have a recipe for lots of Maalox moments. That said, there's no explanation I can think of for Milroe's play last Saturday outside what's already been said on this thread.
