Milroe as a QB is like Hawk Tuah girl as a wife.

That's a scary thought.............I wonder if Bill O'Brien has thought about calling NIL-roe to tell him "I got the last laugh"?

 

[Tidewater]

I probably would have benched him for that sissy attempt

But, on the plus side, he has mastered the "little girl dance moves." He is great at that.

 

[CB4]

I've said this 100 times, but why not. Hurts, on his first day as a starter as a true freshman, was significantly better than Nilroe RIGHT NOW - and it's not even really close.

Also have said this a bunch. JM wasn't a guy we really went after. We missed on all the QBs we really wanted that year and he was the best we could get to flip. Once he was here we tried to get him to transfer or switch positions. He should have done one of those, but refused.

As for QB skills - that is on him to develop a lot in the off-season. He's hired different QB coaches since he was a freshman in HS, and still is what he is.

IIRC Drake Maye had been an early commit for us. He then flipped to UNC. Most of that was expected as he had so many family ties to Chapel Hill.
Milroe was a Texas commit at the time, but even they took him as a “project”. No one in Austin was necessarily heartbroken when Jalen flipped to Alabama. Jalen in high school was an athlete that played QB, not a QB that had athleticism. That is a big difference.
Not even the recruiting services could agree on what he was as a QB. Some saying he was a pocket passer that could make plays running. Others saying he was a dual threat, best suited for zone read/RPO. But he didn’t play in a RPO offense in HS (at least that is what I remember).
Milroe was project then. Four years later he is still a project.

A failed project

Maybe he can get a spot on Dancing with the Stars

 

[Isaiah 63:1]

I will not believe Milroe is gone until I hear it from him.

Now the Gin Blossoms are in my head…

 

[CB4]

I think Michigan got more turnovers against us yesterday than they did all season. Just pathetic.

The only thing Milroe had going for him yesterday was that some of his throws were so bad that not even the defense could intercept them.

 

[Isaiah 63:1]

I need therapy, and l haven’t been to BDS in six years. But I have a fellow fan who has this particular fetish about red swing line staplers

So if Milroe wants to return, maybe we just have to “fix the glitch”…

Maye was one of them for sure. We had someone else in that class also on the hook, I can't recall who. It was always going to be really hard to get a top level QB in that class since we got Young the year before, and everyone knew they'd be sitting behind him until he left for the NFL.

 

[Isaiah 63:1]

He strikes me more as a bit of a selfish person who likes to act like a person with a good heart. But I may be reading him wrong.

Here’s the telling dichotomy that makes me think you’re closer to being right than to being wrong: he sulks on the bench, but sprints to the tunnel at the half to high five his teammates in front of the cameras…

I think we were in the running and made an offer to the kid who played QB at USCw this year but he never panned out either.

move his locker to the janitors closet

 

[Isaiah 63:1]

I will add, no NIL dealings has seen the light of day, so that much is not unusual.

Unless the alleged LANK deal was an oral understanding, there’s a written agreement. The university is a public institution. Couldn’t some enterprising journalist drop a FOIA (or whatever the Alabama equivalent is) on the university and get all the details?

 

[rolltide7854]

We were told that DeBoer would be running his full offense in this bowl game.

With the same QB we had all year that wasn't possible.

Good morning and Happy New Year!

I haven't posted in a few days, but here goes.

1. Our Offensive play calling hasn't changed since the LSU game. Lazy game planning by the staff. I don't know if that's the best we can do with our personnel or what. It has to change.

2. Totally upset that Simpson didn't replace Milroe after it was evident that he wasn't able to be effective. I'm not sure if that has to do with the fact that we don't have a game plan for when he comes in or what.

3. The Defense played great under the circumstances where they were in the game most of the first half.

4. What's the point in having a RB like Jam Miller if you ain't gonna use him more.

Miller Moss?

 

[UAH]

As much as I can appreciate all the success we had under CNS, I can't honestly see how he came to signing Milroe and hiring Doug Marrone. There had to be a massive amount of hubris or massive amount of neglect in these 2 program wrecking decisions.

There was so much going on with coaching assistants and in Saban's other business pursuits to require a deep dive and still not come up with "the" answer.

 

[tusks_n_raider]

Miller Moss?

Yeah that's him.

I think he played alright for USCw this year but overall never lived up to his recruiting hype.

 

[colbysullivan]

Saban’s ALWAYS did that. He talked openly and publicly and often about it from early in his tenure. I have trouble believing that some of you don’t remember that. You aren’t the only one. Again, Saban always did it - I remember specifically from the McCarron/ Philip Simms battle that didn’t end until the 2nd or 3rd game of the season. “Whoever wins the team.”

Btw, Milroe had the same problems with USF this year that Buchner and Ty had last year. Their scheme and attitude just seems to give Alabama trouble.

You know dang well there is a HUGE difference in the spirit of what “winning the team” means vs what Milroe did. I will hear no argument on this. You are wrong.

Instead of doing NIL videos Jam Miller, Justice Haynes, and Richard Young have been posing for milk carton photos for “the missing”.
