As another poster noted, Rees had to simplify the offense, so I don't think we can judge him on last year's offense. It reminds me of Daboll. His offense sucked duriing the regular season, playing Jalen Hurts, then when Tua started the 2nd half of the national title game, Daboll miraculously got very much better.

How can you not scheme for Jalen's skill set? That's inexcusable. Today's offenses are ready-made for the one-read and haul azz or throw approach.

That fiasco in Tampa said plenty. Regardless of who we had at QB, it was an offensive mess for 4 quarters.

Last year Rees sucked and everybody hated him. Now that he is gone, everyone loves him and it wasn’t his fault.

Did any of you watch the South Florida game? Alabama went to halftime tied 3-3. Alabama’s offense scored 10 points the first 59 minutes of the game. Alabama had 107 passing yards in the game.

We don’t need to wonder what Tommy Rees’ offense would have looked like without Milroe. We got to watch it. And it was horrible.
