BREAKING Milroe declares for draft

good lord we have a whiny, sad sack fan base

Lol

Let’s all regroup, get ready for spring practice and root on the Crimson Tide. RTR

How do you know "no effort" is being put forth to prepare for 2025?

Do you think CKD and his staff are really doing nothing?

Man, the post CNS years are hitting some folks hard!

BTW, I know nothing about how Ty Simpson may or may not perform in 2025, but I'm pretty sure it won't be because he and the staff aren't working very hard to get ready for next year.

So CKD was expecting Milroe back for 2025? If he did anything to prepare any other QB I must have missed it. Just seems like a wasted year.

For the 1000th time, people are not upset because we finished 9-4. We’re upset because of HOW we finished 9-4.

There may be too much math in your post...all those numbers. Maybe simplify it a little bit.

That is going to politics…

Oh come on. Obviously made in jest…

And yet it still just becomes annoying whining.

People are free to moan and complain all they want for whatever reasons they want and others can tell tell them as long as they want that it’s annoying whining.

Fair enough?

It is a fine line and what is said in jest by one might not be seen as a jest by other members. An internet discussion board is not a great medium for conveying tone and nuance. I'm not going to delete it but I do advise caution.

But more interesting question would be “did Milroe’s play affect Saban’s decision to retire?”. It is very possible that Coach Saban could coach a couple more years if he has had a Bryce Young like QB

It is a sarcastic poke at the people who blame Milroe for everything, in the same manner as the post above it. Relax.

Absolutely Milroe’s play had something to do with Saban hanging it up. He knew there was at least another year of the rot he saw in the program after the Michigan game. A rot he caused, but rot nonetheless.

I keep struggling with the idea that we paid him $2M, AND, let him control the football team. I see coaches not running the team, a lost season, no effort to prepare for 2025, and Bama just throwing away $2M of precious NIL $$ like it was nothing. Regardless of how many times guys explain it...it just doesn't pass the common sense test.

The only way this will ever make sense is if TS turns out to be beyond terrible. If he's worse on his best day than JM was on his worst day.

Otherwise, it just does not compute.

I think it was 2 lost seasons really. You saw what happened when Saban tried to bench him.

Yeah. It’s pretty remarkable, though not really, how spoiled it’s become. Our QB, who wasn’t very good but represented the school well, was blamed for everything. Some correctly so, but a lot of it is completely misplaced.

I don't think Milroe has any idea that he might be a flop at the next level. I think he has a very inflated opinion of himself and his abilities. I keep thinking about the IB last year when we scored on the last play and he was screaming "Give me the Heisman!" when in fact, he had played poorly most of the game.

Also, we scored on the last play because the Barn gave him all day to throw

Mel Kiper has updated Milroe to the 5th best quarterback in the draft.

What a pathetic QB draft class…

So there's only five QBs in the draft this year...?

Looks like we've got 12 QB's on the radar. It really is a subpar QB class.

There’s maybe 3-5 guys that have a shot on that list of actually playing and Milroe’s not one of them.

Nope

So, it's your way or no way?

Sorry, I don't yield to bullies.
