when I was watching HardKnocks recently, there was a moment they showed where Saban grabbed Tua and told him "17 was wide open" and Tua started using Waddle more... wonder if anyone was telling Milroe about the wide open WRs (We all seemed to see from our sofas) or just didnt want to mess with his head? anyway, If this OC can work on JM, cool... if not well, there it is

I’m just a fan without any video recording or ability to watch games from a wide perspective unless I’m there and could see the issues even after two bourbons at the tailgate.
Bama had armies of analysts and assistant coaches with 20-40 years each of football knowledge pouring over wide angle game film. They knew what the issues were and they knew what the play-calls/intended routes were which we can often only guess at.
There is zero chance Milroe wasn’t being told what the issues were. The fact that we basically took away protection calls from him and eliminated screens and slants from the playbook tells me everything I need to know about what the coaches thought about his ability to process the defense.
Players improve year over year and QB is the hardest position in all of sports, but while some of this was on BOB failing to develop a guy he didn’t think was even a QB, let’s not pretend this wasn’t on JM to a large degree.
