BREAKING Milroe declares for draft

[Bama_N_Va]

So there's only five QBs in the draft this year...?

Stop Stop Stop. Please stop, the math is too much for me!!!!

 

[Cruloc]

There’s maybe 3-5 guys that have a shot on that list of actually playing and Milroe’s not one of them.

I'd lean toward Dart, maybe Ward and maybe Sanders making it.

Ewers throws too many floaters.

That Louisville QB is 6'5, I have no idea on him other than he's got the height they want.

I'll pull for Leonard to make it, he's from Fairhope, close to where I am.

 

[cdub55]

That's pretty much how I feel about it.

Even with all that I'd probably be willing to take the high road after the fact but that non-tackle attempt on the Pick 6 vs OU changed how I felt.

He's the most 'Me' guy ever associated with the program who played as much as he did.

Just a supremely selfish individual.

What I really want to say about him I can't say on TFs

Agreed!

His lack of being able to throw the ball accurately, read defenses, maneuver/move around/escape the pocket, and read progressions is one thing but if you can defend Milroe after his lackadaisical pick 6 in OK, then you are either biased towards him or we have very different expectations of what we want to see out of Alabama football players.

I honestly can't wait to see him on an NFL roster. 1. He's no longer on Bama's roster. 2. The NFL won't sugarcoat anything. There won't be any....start me or else deals.

Looks like we've got 12 QB's on the radar. It really is a subpar QB class.

Looking at that list, I'd have McCord for sure way above JM, and probably would sneak Howard just above JM. Gabriel is close as well - he does almost everything better than JM but doesn't have the height, or a super strong/snappy arm so would have to be in a dink and dunk down the field type offense. I haven't seen anything of the others except for Leonard. Maybe he has a Brock Purdy angle.

I don't wish him any ill will moving forward but it's been a long time since I have despised watching a player play at Alabama more than him, if ever. I hope he makes the necessary changes he needs and is successful at the next level, but that will never change how I feel about his performances and lack of effort while he wore Crimson.

Mel Kiper has updated Milroe to the 5th best quarterback in the draft.

Are there only 5 QBs in the draft???

 

[4Q Basket Case]

Two things:

First, and this is not a request: I don't care who said what about whose mama first. Stop the juvenile "I'm rubber you're glue" back and forth now.

Second, a request: The board is for discussion. As long as you stay within board rules, talk about anything you want.

But it'd be better for everyone if we just let Jalen Milroe drop. Right now he'll never have to buy a house because he lives free of charge in a lot of people's heads.

He's gone, guys. He's not coming back. Let's move forward.

Hilarious, on point and exactly what I am thinking. Let's move on, geesh.

Milroe has a much better 40 time than Tom Brady had coming out of college.
What other skills do you need to play QB in the NFL (according to Colts scouts)?

Just a reminder to everyone what that attempt looked like. It was terrible but like 4Q said, he's gone and we're moving forward with guys under KD's leadership. Hopefully, they'll develop into superstars on and off the field.

Yeah, I think Jake Coker gets a 15yd Unsportsman right there...

I think every QB not named Milroe we've had in the Saban era would have gone full John Metchie to try and make that stop and get the ball back.

 

[Ledsteplin]

Are there only 5 QBs in the draft???

Don't know.

 

[oldtimetider]

That play by Metchie is hard-nosed football defined. One of my all time favorite plays.... It mattered....

I thought this non play would be the final straw for everyone.

I've probably failed at trying to move on because it's been hard to ignore any positive comments on the guy since because I cannot get that play out of my mind when I see his name.

I'll try to do better myself though. Now that the Senior Bowl is over, so is his CFB career.

I think the best thing for me and everyone is for Spring practice to get here.

Here's the video of the play because it was a GREAT play by Metchie.

Here's the video of the play because it was a GREAT play by Metchie.

I don't know if it is better than Bennett on Buerline but at the moment and the game this took place it has to be ranked very high on the list of top plays for Alabama football.
