Simpson never got a shot. That is why he is 3rd. Monroe was 1st in line. Jalen is better than we have seen...but he has to improve. I don't take his Sugar Bowl time as being an indicator. I think the ignition switch was turned to OFF the second Bryce came out of the game.
Because he is like Greg McElroy - playing on a good team; though I know that Bennet is better. SB doesn’t compare to Bryce but he is part of what is momentarily a better program. Mahomes played on a college team that won 4, 7 & 5 games. And he looked fabulous the little I saw him play but his team was not good.
Point taken on the 4th down play. But a PF on the receiver hit likely would have been enough.
Switch flipped or not, he either didnt give a rip about making that throw or he was too afraid to throw it. It was a simple route and he either didnt put any legs into the throw, was afraid to make it, or was told to throw it in the ground. Those are the only explanations that could be for that throw. It. Was. Horrendous.
I assume you are speaking on Jalen's only pass in the Sugar Bowl? Yeah it was...bad and he agrees I am sure. What I was talking about was about Simpson being 3rd. I don't see him on the bench. I would hate to make that decision..but it will need to be made. I would expect Simpson to hit the portal if he goes into 1st game as 2nd. JMO. I never want any of our players to leave. I have no idea what he might do...but I believe that young man is a winner. Jalen is very talented I think. We will see what happens with the Coordinators.
"I don't know" - there's a first
I have seen enough of J Milroe to tell you that if Ty Simpson is not as far along in the passing skills department as Milroe, we are in for a world of hurt next season offensively. Milroe needs to improve lightyears in the passing game to give us a shot at winning and being competitive in the SEC next season.
The most impressive things (imo) in this video is his ability to keep his eyes downfield, even when scrambling or when there's a lot of clutter in the pocket, and watch how many times he chooses to step up in the pocket compared to bailing out the sides. The stepping up in the pocket and keeping eyes downfield is what impresses me the most about him. He appears to be a very promising player.
Yeah...wasnt saying he has been great. I really don't understand why Simpson has seen so.little time. No doubt Milroe has not had a good year.
And he’s a Jameson Williams awkward landing from having nothing to show for it.
I would not say things so definitive. Most fans thought Blake Sims would never start. Most even said that if he did, we were "in trouble". Most fans thought Bryce would overtake Mac Jones before October. Nothing is certain. Self brag, I was behind Blake and Mac from the start and that was incredibly rare.
I hear you, but the bottom line is Milroe is not a passer. You cannot play QB in modern college football if you aren’t a passer. He could improve, and I really hope he does. I would love for him to follow in another Jalen’s footsteps, but I don’t see it.
Maybe CNS felt like we could win that game with Milroe and preserve the redshirt for Simpson?
I agree with this. I think the true battle will be between Ty and Eli. Ask most people in LA and they say they would take Eli over Arch Manning 10 out of 10 times. He looks a LOT like Bryce did but with a bigger frame. Great accuracy, maneuvers the pocket well, and delivers the deep ball exceptionally well. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
