Jalen Milroe appreciation thread

[tusks_n_raider]

We didn't see those intermediate throws much at all in the first 3 games. Word was, Milroe couldn't make those. Kirby and co. bought it. They were not prepared for those.

I usually am doubtful when anyone says we are ‘sandbagging’ when we don’t seem to be playing well.

But I think anyone who said that turned out to be right.

We were running plays and routes vs UGA that we hadn’t shown yet.

Jalen was executing everything perfectly in the short and intermediate range.

We really were not showing our cards yet imo.

CKD’s strategy seemed to be set around making Kirby and everyone else think we were still struggling in certain areas.

Boy did that gambit work.

Large credit also goes to Jalen because he’s made massive improvements.

He was playing so confident and you could see him seeing the field.

What is it about these cats named Jalen who go out there and bust their butts getting better and win over the hearts of everyone!!

Over the last 2 seasons, the average length of Milroe's 33 touchdown passes is 35.3 yards.

TIFWIW, PFF predicting Jalen will be the 1st QB taken in the draft.

PFF projects Alabama's Jalen Milroe to be the first QB taken in the 2025 NFL draft

Even though the Alabama Crimson Tide entered the season as a top-five team, many people didn't believe that Kalen DeBoer was ready for the challenge of the SEC. Shoot, I remember seeing a lot of pre-season Playoff projections that didn't include the Tide. After a 4

I will admit, I sincerely thought Milroe was going to transferred. I'm glad he has stuck it out and he definitely deserves the praise he has been getting. With that said.....the work is not nearly over for him and Bama. Remain focus and anything is possible for the rest of the year.

On getting his Master's Degree, staying at Alabama and Gravedigger etc ....

I haven't been able to post much lately due to working with disaster relief here in Boone, but I'm very pleased with JM's development.

No one has ever questioned JM's work ethic and CKD's ability to develop QBs is, once again, on display!

 

[BamaMoon]

The stage was set. I was ready to prove Milroe couldn’t beat a good defense. But then…

This is me, officially leaving the “Milroe is not a QB” club after seeing the 1st quarter.

Big of you to admit this!

Best of luck with all of that. God bless.

Not only did Bama snatch the win from the Dawgs, but also let them know where the dynasty rightfully belongs. They thought it was theirs.

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!

Lank has definitely improved.

Well the pick 6 was a deflection and he got creamed cause Pritchett got beat badly.

He was stonewall on the play however.

Right, that was the high point. I didn't miss it then. I miss it now.

Well, hopefully we can appreciate him again after next week's game against the corndogs. Both teams with their backs against the wall at 2 losses each makes for an epic matchup in Death Valley at night. This one won't be for the faint of hear for sure.

I still appreciate Jalen Milroe.

Looks like we may get to appreciate him next year too:

ESPN analyst says Jalen Milroe could be back at Alabama next season

He wants to prove he can lead Alabama football to a College Football Playoff National Championship as its starting quarterback, but could we see Jalen Milroe back in crimson and white next season? Milroe, a redshirt junior, is eligible to declare for the NFL Draft after this campaign in college...
