For all the Milroe fanboys out there please answer me this. What we know and expect from Deboer is a great offensive mind that will put together a solid game plan that should generate high offensive numbers. If that is case and as of right now Milroe is our returning starter that so many on here believe can win it all and some even expect him to win the Heisman, then why is it so many of our offensive starters are jumping ship?

If you call someone a fanboy they’ll rightly look at you like an a-hole and not answer your question.

Idk I guess you'd have to ask them?


How many offensive starters have we lost? 2?

You’d think having Ty Simpson would’ve made them stay.

People saying that Bond or Niblack left because of Milroe are completely ignoring reality. Both guys were still here when the portal closed originally. They entered the portal only because of Saban’s departure.

Sometimes there's a last straw. Could be if Tua were the QB they would have come back even after Saban left.

Bond was given a lambo and around 1M. That’s why.

And honestly he's not worth that much. He's a good but not great receiver. It doesn't matter if it's Milroe, Simpson, Sayin, or Ewers throwing to him he's not a 1st round level talent unless he gets a lot better.

Not to be misunderstood I wish he wouldn't have left and I'd rather have him than not but he's not a guy you dish out 7 figures for.

I never said that is why for sure. I just asked a question that if they are worried about their future with a potential to play in the NFL why they would not want to play for a HC known for generating offensive numbers and playing with a possible Heisman QB.

So UA does not have that type of resources now but yet I have heard we did. Sorry I wrong to assume we did.

You are really hung up on this I see. Where did I say anything about Simpson? You want to either respond to me or someone about a post I wrote.

I really hope if Milroe does not show well in spring and maybe even transfers someone will check in on you.

Again, Milroe may do well enough this spring to be the starter going into the fall, but God forbid that does not happen because I am worried about you.

And no, I do not think Simpson from what I have seen should be the starter, but you will respond somehow suggesting that once again I said that.

How cute. So now if someone does not agree with you, they are a troll.

Milroe beat UGA in the SECCG and dumbasses on here act like he’s a scrub. He was MVP of the SEC title game. He improved a ton throughout the year. This idea Bama can’t win with him is dumb as shite.

Everyone knows we can win with Milroe, but we all watched him this season and all saw the same limitations.

Pros:
- Incredible athlete
- Huge arm
- Accurate as you could ask for on the deep ball
- Great personality, and the players and coaches obviously love him. Oh, and he definitely loves him some 'Bama.

Cons:
- Can't read a defense
- Check downs don't exist. As in, he never even looks their way.
- Inaccurate over the middle

I'm a fan of Milroe, but I do have my doubts how successful he can be running this offense. We'll just have to see if the staff can work with him and unleash the beast.

I agree with everything you said except there are some fans that absolutely don’t think we can win a national title with Milroe.

He has some things to work on, but he can improve on those. Will he? I dunno. I hope so. He’s got more upside than anyone in college football.

Anyone with any sense can see we can absolutely win a NC with Milroe. We came very close to winning it this year.

Bond was not given a Lambo or 1M

He was given a Lambo lease for a year, that’s it. No one dropped 1M on bond

He got 750,000. I’ve heard that from multiple people who would know.

He’s not worth near what Texas paid imo, good deep threat but i haven’t seen him do much after the catch on short or intermediate routes.

He’s not near on the level of guys we had like Cooper, Ridley, Julio, Smith, ect.
