Let them have fun. If it makes them money, so be it. I would've done the same thing.

Remember how people would talk about Bryce Young watching more film than his OC? And how Bryce would walk into meetings with ideas about how to attack defenses? Milroe needs to be doing stuff like that. He is at Bama to play football, period.

How do you know he isn’t watching film as much film and or using VR to get better? We know he doesn’t have a mind like BY so I’m not going to compare but I don’t know where you’re getting a narrative that he isn’t doing as much as he can to get better.

NIL was not like this when BY was here plus he had a far worse OC so it was easier to come up with more ideas. lol different time and different people.

Do I wish more articles came out about him and actual football, yes. Am I going to chastise him for making a living, no. I’m also not going to think he is spending half his time on this vs football or worry about it since results and on who starts will/should be the outcome of who has grown and is better.

Milroe talk is exhausting. He's just a kid who plays football. There is plenty of evidence he is a hard worker and a team guy.

This song is a little weird and definitely could come back to bite him but I hardly think its the end of the world.

is there somewhere to listen to it?

Believe what you want. He's not a QB.

I don't think its out yet. Just weird to me to do the song but that's just me

No offense, but I'll take Kalen DeBoer's word over yours.

There's a term in my career field called "best practices", which we frequently use in our office throughout the year. Something doesn't have to fall into the category of "right" or "wrong" to end up having bad consequences. Is it "wrong" for me to only require one signature on purchases regardless of dollar amount? Nope, but is it "best practice"? Nope. I open myself up to the risk of someone stealing me blind.

Is working on a song "wrong" for Milroe to do? Nope. But considering the fish bowl he lives in and the potential public fallout and scrutiny he'll get from it if his season doesn't go well, is it "best practice"? I would say no, it's not. We all have control of the decisions we make, but not the consequences that come from them. I can easily see this going sideways on him.

This…right…here.

You're spot on.

That said, Idk who the best person is to start at QB for us, but it's pretty obvious that some people have simply decided that they don't like Milroe, don't want Milroe, and will criticize him for anything and everything he does.

I honestly can't remember people on here bashing a player on the roster who has played his butt off (for good or bad) for the team like they have Milroe.

You'd think he transferred to Auburn, took all the playbooks, reported bogus violations to the NCAA and set off a pipe bomb in the head coach's toilet.

I don't get it...it's moved far beyond simply thinking he's not the best person for the job.

Very strange.

I don't understand why all of this on Milroe and the song... and how it reflects him and his decision making? he's just young kid enjoying life. He's not the first person male or female to do this while in college. There's lot of songs that isn't well known, but more of underground music over the years... This is not news at all.

This is somewhat overthinking and over analyzing going on. Summer workout don't start for few weeks. CKD said Players are organizing private workouts on their own:

So if they are doing their job on the field and off the field and staying out of trouble, then I don't see any issue with them wanting to do music for fun.

In all fairness, does anyone really think DeBoer is in a better position to make observations about his players than people on Tidefans?

Everything Milroe does must be criticized. This is the way.

Once the song drops, people will probably criticize him for being too "pitchy" on the recording.

 

[81usaf92]

Yea I think it's weird and I do think it could backfire on him. But I don't think its some indictment on his character or anything.

Well what is is him slamming down his helmet after a loss, Calling out former coaches, and acting out when anything goes wrong. The more and more this crap goes on the more and more comparisons to less prestigious names will surface.

I don't think anybody cares what the guy does, but you've got a lot of people on this board with a lot of "real life" under their belts who know how things like this can play out, and it isn't pretty. I think people want him to be wise about what he does (and the optics of it), because of the public status he holds. The "kid" isn't going to be afforded the same social rights as the average Joe college kid that no one knows just like Arch Manning at Texas isn't either. I'd bet my 401K A. Manning has been well-versed by his dad, uncles, and grandfather on how to navigate his college status on the do's and don'ts. So this social standard doesn't just apply to Milroe.

There's what we should be able to do without people caring, then there's reality. You're right, he is "just a young kid" enjoying life. But let's not fool ourselves, he's not "just a young nobody kid" on a college campus that only his friends and family know. He's a public figure/"celebrity" in the bubble that is college football and anyone who has any form of celebrity status will tell you they cannot do the things the average Joe does and no one cares. There is a personal responsibility for anyone in the public eye to understand this concept and adjust their life accordingly. People who have not done this have suffered immensely over the years and tend to throw their hands up in the air fighting back at the public mob demanding "privacy" or pulling the "I'm just like everyone else" card. That card normally doesn't work. Be it right or be it wrong, that card simply doesn't work in the real world.

He's not doing any work to get better as a QB?

Or do you mean he isn't capable of doing both?

And if he was out helping the poor instead of in the studio recording idiotic songs, would you still be on him about not using his time wisely?

I think the big difference is the focus on self, versus the focus on others. It's one thing to not be working on your craft if you are doing something else for the benefit of others (selfless), versus promoting yourself (selfish)... JMHO

 

[Coach D]

Man some of these posts are the trolling CNS was talking about. But I guess that is why people are called fans as in fanatic.

Milroe is a nice enough kid from coaches I have talked to and from most reports I can’t fault him taking advantage to set up his future like anyone should.

that isn’t me saying I want him to start or that I think he is the best qb on the team.

 

[davefrat]

Lots of players slam their helmets when they lose...including some really great ones. How did he call out former coaches? I honestly don't recall that. And what is all this about acting out when anything goes wrong?

 

[81usaf92]

So, it's impossible to do both?

And if he was feeding the homeless and teaching sunday school would you still be complaining that he's not focusing on football enough?

It is possible to do both. Tom Brady did it with TB12. But here is the difference… Brady perfected his game before looking to expand his business and still football was the unrivaled priority.

Milroe is far more of a Cam Newton of wanting to squawk about limited success and “look at me” crap than a Tom Brady. Granted both are successful but who is the best football player and who is the guy that everyone sees as peeking too early with an overinflated ego?

 

[gtgilbert]

I guess DeBoer is a fool or doesn't pay attention to what's going on in his QB room if he's not doing anything to get better as a QB. Or, as some have suggested, he's afraid of upsetting that apple cart and is going to hand the job to the lesser player in order to avoid a mutiny.

If that's the case, then Milroe is far down the list of problems this team is going to face in the future.

well, you have to remember that they have limited contact and amount of time for anything outside of S&C in the offseason. Now is when players are really having to do things on their own.

Also, for all we know, CKD is looking at it and isn't super fond of it. We'd never know as I wouldn't think he'd make that public though...
