I totally agree which is why I hope there is TRULY an OPEN qb competition. The team (if some things happened that was reported as happening) needs to do some soul searching and ask if they want a friend to try to play qb or if they want a guy back there who can actually play qb.
Microcosm of the Season: Bama's Last Drive and OT against UM

Wonder if this guy is doing any one on one coaching? Heard he was pretty good back in the day and very accurate . Could throw that old pigskin a quarter mile…
It was truly painful to watch this. Devestating.
But I am not convinced Milroe makes it if he follows the pulling guard properly. Yes, Agent 0 for Michigan overran the play but I still think he could have gotten his hands on Milroe and slowed him down long enough for help to arrive.
It was a busted play all the way, IMO.
From a college perspective only, give me a Mac Jones all day and twice on Sunday's. Dude was a surgeon on the field, highly efficient and didn't have to worry about many bad decisions.
Interesting that you say that. My son (an Aubie) made a similar statement on Monday that our offense reminded him of the 2013 Nick Marshall offense at Auburn.
I asked him “How?” He said the offense was run by a similar QB (with the exception Marshall was probably more “quick twitch” while JM is more flat out fast) in that both were limited in executing the “full Monty” of skills deemed necessary to play QB, but possessed the big play ability enough to win games.

My wife actually asked me how the offensive line managed to play so well against Georgia. I watched that game 4 times. Thinking back, I am not sure that the Alabama offensive line played great. I think that Georgia conceded a bunch of stuff to avoid long pass plays and to contain Milroe, both at the same time. To get there, they had to makes sacrifices at the LOS. It cost them the game.
They would not do that again, and if Alabama played Georgia 10 more times, Georgia would win almost all of those games.

He also climbed the pocket like a pro.
And was known for the time he spent in the film room and practicing outside of the scheduled practice sessions...
True and I think Marshall went to Garden City CC for a year after getting kick out of UGA where I think they ran a similar offense.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I'll take winning the SEC championship and deal with what may come as a result of it over hand-wringing about whether we could have won a national championship with someone else playing QB.
I think they would have blasted us if we'd played them again this year.
Then again, I think they would have blasted anyone in the post-season.
I sure hope we can handle them in Tuscaloosa next year.
Mac’s footwork is amazing in the pocket. Although he hasn’t gotten to exhibit it much with defensive players draped all over him and no one to throw to with the Pats.

There's one clip of him (against KY I believe) where he literally pedals across about 1/3 of the field to work a receiver open in the end zone.
It's one of the more understated great plays from his time as QB.
wasnt there a statement yesterday that he was coming back? hard to keep track but i thought i saw that on here....
I was a bit surprised when it was reported he was coming back.
He's a good player, but I don't know that he's good enough to be the #1 with Miller and Haynes behind him.
I think Jase has a Covid year as well. We haven’t heard him either. Some speculation he will take it, hit the portal and land at Ole Miss.

This is what Google translate suggests, though it doesn't look syntactically right to me...
