to looking like a potential future NFL MVP to end the regular season
Lmao is this a joke? Did you watch the Arkansas, Tenn, LSU or Auburn games? He was far from stellar against LSU through the air and they were so bad in the secondary last year. A lot of our fans are disillusioned by 4th and 31.
I’m saying this as someone who wants to see Milroe succeed too, but cmon, let’s not fool ourselves. We needed rock solid defensive play a lot last year in part to him not being able to consistently move the chains.
I do think he’s made a lot of progress under DeBoer though. He threw some really nice balls during ADay. As did Simpson. I have full confidence either could get the job done this season (assuming the defense doesn’t regress big time; that’s a big TBD with CNS gone).

That could be the story of this year, not the QB.
The defense was running pure vanilla but I think we all agree we don’t really know.

I mean future NFL MVP was obvious hyperbole, but yes I watched the Arkansas, Tenn, and LSU, and Auburn games, and he was good enough in those games for the most part, especially the LSU game, second half of the Tenn game, first half of the Arky game, and for most of the AU game.

Would you say Milroe is behind, equal to ahead of Hurts from a passing development standpoint at this point in his career?
I’d argue he’s well ahead of him based on all the objective data available and Hurts doesn’t have anything close to his athleticism.
If Hurts can be an NFL MVP candidate in the modern NFL, Jalen Milroe can absolutely get there with proper development.
Doesn’t mean he will.
Doesn’t mean Ty Simpson might not deserve to start over him this year to give Bama the best opportunity to win.
But Jalen Milroe has a much higher ceiling than Hurts did and he already is the exact thing you scoffed at suggesting Milroe could become.
