haven’t seen him do much after the catch on short or intermediate routes.
How would you have seen this?
Bond will lead tejas in receiving yards in 2024.

He was the best on the current roster.

Don't underestimate the effect of poor offensive line play had on Milroe in 2023. He needs to improve in many areas and hopefully the new coaches will help but a vastly improved offensive line will also. I am hoping we get a couple of good linemen in the portal.
Milroe needs to improve his decision making and viewing of the field. A number of times wide-open receivers were waving their hands and evidently he didn't see them. If he doesn't improve in the spring then Simpson and Lonergan are options.

About half of that was also on Milroe. Standing there for 8 seconds waiting for his primary to get wide open, not understanding where the blitz was coming from pre snap, or running backwards made the offensive line look much worse.

He did seem to figure out how to step up into the pocket the back half of the season and stop running right into the pass rush. Unfortunately everything else you said didn't improve all that much.

so he made them look like a shiny turd, instead of a regular dull turd?

I asked for this stat already as I cannot find it, but I believe the issue for YAC by our WRs had to do with WRs having to adjust for the short and intermediate throws. Milroe did a great job for the most part hitting WRs in stride for deep throws, but other passes were either under or overthrown that required the WR to adjust/stop/ jump that prevented YAC. Milroe is accurate with the deep, but everything else was not very accurate and why we lacked in YAC but he did improve on those throws as the season progressed so there is that.

If Milroe couldn't learn Bama's playbook after years of studying how could he possibly learn DeBears which is far more complex in one off season ?
I watched an interview of CKD, and he explained his offense as something that "looks extremely complicated to everyone else, but simple for players to understand."
The bottom line is that Milroe will have to adapt or it will be next man up, because this offense is QB-centric.

De Boers offense is rooted in Air Raid which actually very simple. Only a few plays but ran efficiently.

I have the same feeling about Milroe that I had about Hurts when they both played at Alabama, i. e., they will never be top quarterbacks. I was surprised at Hurts success at Philadelphia. He looked similar to his play at Alabama last night and I fear his success may be short lived. I think Milroe is in the same category. I hope I am wrong on both accounts and both enjoy long term success in the NFL.

Hurts got paid at least

He had about 1/2 a second to throw on most plays.
and then there is this:

The difference I see between Hurts and Milroe their first season was Hurts first thought was to run even when he did not need to. Milroe he wants to sit in the pocket before running which is not effective for him. If Milroe would just take off more than Hurts did the season may not have been such a roller coaster. I believe Milroe is faster than Hurts.
