re: Bama Football Tidings

Through 5 games our leading receiver has something like 189 yards total.

I think Mac to Smitty had that before halftime of the 2020 NC game...or close to it.

This offense is totally anemic...really due for a breakout.

What are YOU watching?

Milroe leads the qbs named in qb efficiency (only 12 qbs in the entire country have better qb efficiency than Milroe- and none of them are in the SEC), has accounted for 10 TDs, (6 passing, 4 rushing). Only Klubnik has more (11 passing, 2 rushing), but he isn't in the top 50 for qb effeciency.
Beck has one more passing TD than Milroe and 1 less INT, McCord has the same number of TDs, 2 less INTs. Milroe has more rushing yards than all the others combined (in less games).

Who the frick cares about red zone passing TDs? What does it matter from where on the field a TD is thrown?

Milroe would ABSOLUTELY start at OhioSt, and every other Big10 school except for Michigan.
Milroe would start for almost half the SEC- MissSt, UK, USC, Vandy, BAMA, UF, (maybe Tenner- Milton is garbage).

I'm not sure what the frick you're blabbering about, but your period blood is getting thick all over this board.
I don't want you banned, though. Just FYI.

This ^^^^^ X 1 billion. The blocking by the WRs and to a lesser extent by TEs on the perimeter has been really bad. Some REALLY half hearted effort out there. Maybe Nick needs to verbally rip them a new one too?

I find it weird that so many posters are trying to convince themselves that Milroe is a good QB. Yall need your heads examined.

Remember when all the WRs were angry bc Hurts couldnt get them the ball? Then Tua becomes QB and the whole WR room became 1st round picks. It's almost like the QB play effects the WR play.

I didn’t say he was good. I’m not even saying he’s better than any other QB we’ve had.

I’m saying the level of panic coming from fans is overblown and kind of ridiculous. We’ve had less efficient QBs take us to the playoffs and even win championships for us. Once that happens, people tend to forget your short comings and only remember the final result

In the last 10 years we've averaged over 10.25ypa against FBS competition just 3 times (between 10.6 and 11). We only won the natty one of those years. It's game 6. The team obviously still has questions on offense, but let's not pretend like having concerns this late in the season hasn't happened before. I think people forget how bumpy some of those successful seasons got in the middle.

Anyone shocked should rewatch games from the Jalen Hurts era.

Against any team with a functional defense we were non-functional on offense.

I think we’ve all collectively blocked that from our memory and painted over it with better times from the Tua/Mac/Bryce era.

Things I think going into A&M
-Milroe is better than Hurts was statistically and it’s not even close
-Milroe is not making solid reads and has major trouble processing with pressure
-Our WR group is nowhere close to the Devonta Smith era, but throws are there with a 25% improvement in QB awareness
-The OL looked better than they actually are against OM and MSU and are going to really struggle against that A&M DL which is probably the best in the nation.
-I don’t expect to see a massive change in play calling because nothing in Rees history indicates we aren’t seeing his full offense right now. This is who he is and pretending we have half a playbook we aren’t using is just people dealing with the mental grief of realizing how limited we are offensively right now.
-I think the offense is going to look really bad today because we won’t be able to consistently sustain drives by running the ball. You beat A&M by throwing downfield and while it’s possible Milroe can do that for a couple drives I don’t see how you can think that’s a recipe for success on the road against an offense that is pretty competent this year.
-I think this is the hardest remaining game of the season and expect a final score of something like 24-20 with the winner determined by who turns the ball over the most.

This

I was going based off ypa and QB rating but I agree you can probably factor some other variables. Still there were plenty of 3 and outs with Hurts whether it was a thrown away pass or a sack

That being said, keep in mind Hurts did have Ridley in year 1
Tua had Ridley, Ruggs, Smitty, Jeudy and Waddle
Mac had Smitty, Waddle and Metchie
Bryce had Metchie and Jamo

What is Milroe working with? Burton? Anyone else is unknown at this point

I should’ve been more clear: our WR group alligator arms their blocks when the ball isn’t coming their way.

It’s impacting our screen passing and perimeter run game almost every play and our TE and RB groups aren’t much better.
