Well done. I couldn't believe AR went 4th pick. JM might be playing himself into getting rich next year. Considering his early season struggles I can't even believe I just wrote those words.

That’s a big no. He’s still not seeing receivers breaking open.

Sure he has weaknesses, but do you remember how full of weaknesses AR was too?

I'm not predicting he'll enter the draft OR get drafted as a top pick, but if he finishes with 2 to 4 strong games his stats will likely blow AR's out of the water.

I was as hard on JM as anybody early this season, but he's playing himself into an interesting position.

Here's where am with respect JM's progression.

1- JM has made major gains with experience and trusting his abilities therefore bolstering his self-confidence. Still needs to read better at times but has definitely improved. He also seems now to be getting away from always bailing to the right on busted plays. Could be due the improved line play but that has frustrated the hell out of me.

2 - CNS prompted CTR to focus more on QB-Run plays and incorporate that into offensive play calling. The fact there is always the threat of JM hitting that gap and blowing by LB's and DB's has now opened up the field and paying major dividends.

3 - TE and RB play without the ball has been exponentially better. Again, I'm convinced the improved o-line cohesion and play has contributed to that.

I have been making the same comparisons the last couple of weeks. I can't help but think that he could be this years athletic qb that can get themselves into the 1st round based on potential.

I think that's the operative phrase.

I certainly didn't get why AR went 4th last year, but that's it.

He could be the next Jalen Hurts when you look at his potential. OR, he could be another 1st round bust. But the NFL doesn't seem to care to gamble on these things at times.

That is my feeling when I watch most of the professional drafts. I hear the words "potential" or "up side" way too much. IMO the top 15 picks should be somewhere between can't miss and probable star.

His performance in Atlanta against a top-rated defense will be critical. If he comes back for next season I would expect him to be a Heisman front-runner and a potential early first-round pick. Which I would not have believed after the Texas debacle.

Every QB has weaknesses and strengths even the best of the best. Whether it’s anticipating throws or not being able to which is not taught but a gift , or having great mobility. The statues going forward will not be a part of football.
 
Right now I'd say there is no way Milroe goes to the draft this year. But if he goes off vs Auburn and then Georgia? Idk Crazier things have happened. At the very least he would probably end up with a Heisman invite
