Yes and so is Milroe and Ty Simpson development and specifically because Bill O'Brien did nothing to actually develop our talent.
If you cam understand this why the constant hate for Milroe? He is a victim of coaching just like Ty and Bryce.

I'm not hating on Milroe. I will always pushback against criticism being labeled as hate. I wish Milroe well. I
do believe his skill set is too remedial for this level of football.

They are extremely hesitant to ban people, but I agree. It's really not difficult to see the difference between someone who has an honest, good faith opinion that a lot of people disagree with and some fricktard like Shaft who repeats the exact same nonsense over and over regardless of the subject matter.

That's not how it goes here. I state my opinion and then people come for me personally. So, I come for them personally and restate my opinion. If you can't be honest STFU. I don't lie on anyone.

I know the mods don't like to make a habit of it, but come on. Spamming every thread with Shaft's bullshite that adds literally nothing to the discussion has to warrant something.
Funnily enough, your post adds literally nothing to the discussion, too.

Remedial is a great word. He's a faster version of Jimmy Johns. Jimmy never got much look at QB because he was remedial. But he was strong and fast and good with the metric system.

The first highlight is a gorgeous RPO slant from Milroe to Burton.
Have we run a single RPO slant this year!?

We legit have posters who claim we don't run RPO because Milroe doesn't know how to.
Not even joking.
That is how they rationalize why Tommmy Rees hasn't ran RPO. They have also said the same for us not running screens, quicks, etc.
Apparently Milroe forgot how to do all that since last year.

Its more like 99% of your posts are you being hypercritical of our players or coaches
When that's all you have to offer, it's pretty easy to understand why people see you as just a hater and nobody really wants to be around one of those

Oh, so you were going to have mercy on us all and shut up, but because someone verbally agreed with your intended course of action, now you’re not?
Your posts sound like the arrogant, bitter rantings of a very unhappy man. You splash your misery on all around you.

He ran RPO with Buchner several times. Ive also seen Milroe make the wrong RPO read a few times.
Blake Sims didnt have the arm strength that Milroe has, but he was slick with the zone read. We havent used a lot of that with Milroe. There has got to be a reason, and you can blame Rees or Milroe, but we really dont know why.

He knows "how to", he's just really bad at making the right read in a split second. John Parker noted repeatedly on the radio during the A&M game last year that we ran a ton of RPO stuff and Jalen made the wrong read - either on the give/keep or on a give/keep/throw - almost every single time. Being good at the RPO isn't just a given, and if you are bad at it and/or second guessing yourself, it can be downright disastrous.
I don't know why, don't know if he's improved or what, but I know for a fact that they were concerned about it last year and he proved their concern right when he played that full A&M game.

This part I think we should do more of. I assume we don't think our big slobbish OL can get out in space to block those plays. I don't really know. Seems like we should do more of it on early downs.

Someone reported that Milroe is not good at making the right reads in RPO. It seems like an easy thing to get good at, but I supposed it is a bit of an art.

Well I made this gif as a reminder to them that Milroe has been successful (at least once) in the past running them.
ETA: SoG has questioned whether we don't run more RB screens because of the size and/or lack of mobility of our OL, but I also think we struggle with WR screens because our perimeter blocking so far has been atrocious. It's also tough for the RBs to break longer runs without downfield blocking from the WRs/TEs.
Hopefully the outside guys continue to improve in that area as the season goes on.

It just seems like nearly every college QB, from walk-ons to 5 stars, can run this RPO stuff, but for some reason it's not in the playbook for Milroe. It seemed like a big part of Rees's style before he came here as well, so the lack of it is a mystery. And if the QB literally can't do it, it could be a reason why the playcalling looks so out of whack sometimes.

The thing about football concepts is even if you are bad or slow at understanding something.. you get the reps to get better. You get the film study. You simplify the process picking specific players as keys.
Understanding and execution in fotball isn't some linear thing it sometimes take a different approach.
I just find it hard to believe this guy absolutely can't run a system he has in high school on the college level and this can't change or get better with reps, film study and more work toward this specific goal.

Yea, that one was good. These were not.
0:10 second - RPO Quick Screen wide open, blocked. Hands to RB 3 yard loss on 3rd and 4
6:20 - 1st and 10. Huge hole for Jase to 2nd level with LB baited opposite direction. Jalen keeps, sacked, fumble, turnover.
8:05 - 1st and 10, OLB is moving with flow, large gap between him and corner who is engaged with Burton. Jalen hands to Gibbs with tons of traffic in front of him. 4 yard loss.
12:05 - RPO with motion. Have numbers with pulling C & G.
Jalen keeps it and throw out wide on swing pass that is blown up by unblocked safety.
But I'm in full agreement - this should not be that hard to get better at.

Totally agree with you and with Ystar. I don't understand why the RPO thing either is still a huge issue for Jalen or the coaches are so scared to let him do it.
RPO is so standard for QBs at every level now that it's hard to imagine he can't get better at it. He's so damn talented for that specific play type that he doesn't even have to be great at it for him to be successful with it.
