You mean the routes that were late and picked off?
Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.

yes....nobody uses passer rating anymore lol as it doesn't correlate to actual effective play. It doesn't measure things like whether you convert a third and 4 by running for 5 yards vs taking a sack there.
QBR isn't perfect, and now there are *far* better and more analytical game scoring tools available. I have no doubt Simpson and Buchner both would have done terrible with them.
where did I act like MIlroe doesn't have massive flaws? I have never said anything good about Milroe's play.
I fully expect Milroe to play poorly going forward. *Most* of the people who believe Milroe should start(probably to include Saban) don't expect him to play well.
I see a lot of posts talking about how people are predicting Milroe won't play well.....as if they are then going to go back and tell the people who would start Milroe "see, I told you so". The problem with this is that very few(any?) of the people who believe Milroe should start believe he will play well lol.....
Avalos made Buchner look like Tua. Those were dark offensive football days.
"Buchner...like Tua" are words I never thought I'd hear unless we are comparing they both breathe air.
Me either and you know everything you hear or read is true.
You're right in that should be the response to a defense doing that. Unfortunately, JM has yet to show he can execute that concept as it requires pretty precise timing to avoid the INT, which is why he threw two INTs against UTw... SO far, Jm doesn't start his throwing motion until he sees the WR is OPEN, which is too late. The ball has to be on the way to the spot where the WR WILL BE OPEN long before the WR even makes his break/cut.
Why the blue font? That's a true statement.
What I'll be looking for Saturday as a fan.....
1. Are we running the same offense we did vs Texas that Milroe was feast or famine with. Are we calling those same plays where he threw the picks. If we're doing that, knowing he's consistently late on throws and slow on decision making, then it will be a long day.
2. Does the OL let the MLB get home on the famous Gol*ing MLB blitz. At Bama we always got stuffed by the mass of bodies. The way the OL has played i could see Gol*ing looking like a genius.
Will see these early. Its a tell basically.

Hopefully they have someone pick up the middle and neutralize him...................some critics used to say the problem was Saban didn't let PG run his own defense, but a bigger issue was PG not learning the Saban defense and then simplifying it a little more for the players
I do agree with two things Josh Pate said. 1) this is quite possibly THE pivotal game of the season for this team. If, by some rhyme or reason, things click, they come together as team and win this game, it can get them rolling. If they don’t, there could be 2-3 other losses on the schedule. 2) Based on the performances we’ve seen thus far, I haven’t a clue what this game will look like. I wouldn’t bet my worst enemy’s money on this game.
This team is exactly how Churchill described the former Soviet Union: it is “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”.

Alabama lost that game. You win or lose as a team. How can you consider yourself to be a Tide fan and hate some of its players?
I would play 3 safeties in the game with one of the safeties a spy on Milroe and play zone with 2 other DBs and blitz the other 6 into every gap every play. I don't think our OL can handle that and I don't think JM can't see a collapsing DB in a zone because JM will tell the defense where he is going with the ball. It would be foolish for our DBs to turn their back to JM.
Why do you assume he hates Milroe? I don't know of anyone on here that hates him. Some of us just don't think he's the answer.
He was being sarcastic. If Milroe had thrown that baseball the throw would not have been accurate.
Does anyone really think he is 'the answer'? I don't see how they could.....
I agree with starting him saturday, but he's as much of an 'answer' as shaq is a teams technical free throw shooter.
