Why is everyone trying to trick themselves into thinking Milroe isn’t the guy?

If Ty was the guy, then we would have known by now.

When it was Tua we heard the mumblings as a freshman. When it was Bryce we heard the mumblings as a freshman. When it was Hurts even we heard some good things as a freshman.

Ty hasn’t stood out and that’s why Milroe is the guy.

Ty wouldn’t set us back at all, but he’s not wowing anyone. Milroe is the guy and the players want him to be.

Probably because we watched the A&M game last year

I agree with you. Let’s get real here. You’re tricking yourself if you honestly believe Ty Simpson is gonna beat out Jalen. I have heard the comparisons to Matt Coral, he was recruited by Reese, yada yada. But when Ty Simpson went in for his first snap of the year last year, under center and he literally walked out from behind center to help line up a receiver inside the 5 yard line, I was like what is this guy doing?! We need a big guy that can take hits, be a threat to run some, and have zip on the ball. You are kidding yourself if you think other wise. And at this juncture with rumors about TVD and whatever, Reese obviously isn’t going to play the favorites card if you thought he would with Simpson. You should be glad that’s the case.

Tuas and Youngs don't show up every day, plus I believe that Coach Saban's getting ready to take take some of the pressure off the QB (a.k.a "passing game"), and get back to type of football that got us to where we are today. I honestly believe that he's looked "next door" at his protege and had a rude awakening of sorts. Long story made short:
We're gonna be more physical on BOTH sides of the ball, with a running game that tries to pound the opponent into submission (again, a.k.a. "make his arse quit!").
I may be wrong...but I don't think so.

The most reasonable course of action is to let the coaches do their job and support whoever is out there. That's my plan at least. I think we have two very good options.

As far as people knocking Milroe for the A&M game last year, players can improve, and I think it's silly to think that's not possible with Jalen. Just like it's silly to think he will now be all world. Just let it play out and support the kid.

He probably is the guy and that scares me. The QB position will be the only reason Bama doesn't win it all this year, if they don't. I would love nothing more than for Milroe to flip a switch and figure it all out but I don't see that happening. Really hope I am wrong. I can't wait for Julian Sayin because he puts Bama back to the Tua, Mac, Bryce category.

Bama won’t win any big games with shitty Milroe at QB.

It has to be Milroe. Honestly don't know if any of the WRs are good enough that having a good passer would be all that helpful anyway

Oh, so now you want to be all back on the Milroe train? Or are you going to try that stunt you pulled on the big board where you claimed they you were "Just sayin' you were cold on Milroe, but were really 100% behind him the whole time"? If the former is the case then you just ride the wave of opinion. If the later is the case, at best you're a deceptive liar, at worst you, ride the wave of opinion, AND are a deceptive liar.

I have taken an optimistic, "No, he's not a troll" view of you up to this point. But, now I know why many on this board think you are nothing but a worthless troll

Because, if Milroe is Bama’s best option at QB, we’re in for a couple of shitty seasons.
