To start, good snaps that will allow him the opportunity to even have a chance


This is SO overblown.

But it’s not! When the QB has to drop their eyes to the ground to find the bouncing ball, he is taking his eyes off of his read progression. For example, if the play call has a flood route to the right with a short, intermediate, and deep route to that side, with a backside post or drag, the QB read is to peak deep, then go to the play side Corner to see if he is bailing or squatting on the route. If safety is over the top, whatever the corner does is wrong. But if the QB has to look down to find the snap that is low and to the left or skipping back to him, or even worse fired over his head, then the play is trash! Even though the X receiver may have been all by himself because the safety jumped the drag route or the intermediate route was wide open because the corner sat on the out or stop route.

I don't have a dog in this fight; DeBoer is an offensive guy and has had success in that area everywhere he's been so I'll trust him to pick the right guy...

But the bad snaps last year were not overblown. They were real and they popped up from the first game to the last; very costly in some instances, not so much in others, but they happened. After the Rose Bowl, even Saban mentioned the snapping issues had been a problem all season...

Here are just a few links relating to it:

Snapping Issues after the first couple of games:

Costly Snaps First 2 Weeks

Many Bad Snaps in Loss to Texas

Snapping Issues after the Rose Bowl:

Bad Snaps Stifle Bama in Rose Bowl Loss

Same Issue Plagued Alabama Offense Entire Rose Bowl

Saban Says Huge Issue Led to Horrific Final Snap

Snapping Issues the Entire Season:

McLaughlin has No Answers for Season-Long Snap Issue

McLaughlin's Case of Bad Snaps

These are just a handful, there were many more. Seems like almost everyone was seeing this, not just Jalen Milroe supporters, so I don't see how it could be seen as such an overblown issue...
