re: How would you rank Jalen Milroe amongst our other QBs who have started this century?

I wouldn’t even insult the other QBs by including him on the ranking list.

Brodie, Zow and Watts played with a much lesser supporting cast as well with awful OL. Milroe OL was not great last year but much better than the those early 2000s OL that were terrible.

From an arm talent standpoint Croyle was right there with the elite guys we had under Saban, he just wasn't mobile and the playcalling was beyond vanilla so when the pass rush won up front as it almost always did against LSU or Auburn we were done.
Correct, Croyle was more talented than McElroy, Sims, JPW, and Coker for sure and could argue McCarron. He had zero help and could not stay upright and healthy.

Should've got this thread anchored
There is an entire thread about former players. Should we anchor that too or just spam it with nonsense?

Former player thread is fine. No need to create a new thread just to whine about same thing about Milroe nonstop.

He’s gotta be last. The game managers in this list did their jobs. He and Hurts were ball hogs. They either ran or threw. No handing off. Made it easy to defend. If you are going to keep it every play you’d better be good. He wasn’t.

Hurts did sometimes. He was capable of running a read option to some extent. Hurt’s problem was that he was either too erratic (2016) or played like a game manager (2017).
Milroe on the other hand could be either of that in a single game. And he couldn’t run a read option to save his life.
Overall Hurts was a more natural runner too

In terms of ability, we should be talking about Milroe in the same conversation as Jalen Hurts, but that's not really what it was like in real life. Milroe looked more like JPW in the pocket than Hurts, anything regarding JM being a shifty, dual-threat is coming from someone who's never seen the tape.
Hurts's problem was that he couldn't play on the road, ran too frequently and that his backup was clearly the best quarterback in Alabama history. We wouldn't have had nearly such negativity this year if JH was our QB.

Croyle
Croyle was Bama's son. He came to Bama when Bama was down, and I believe he turned down FSU who was on top of the world.
I think he was a 5 star recruit and was an elite passer. He played on teams that were crippled by sanctions. And he couldn't stay healthy. But he was an ELITE prospect in a long string of good-ole-boy prospects.
The Florida game was one glimpse of his potential.

imo, he was the best pure thrower of the football I've watched at Alabama. He could spin it better than anyone.

I have to rank Tua Tagovailoa number 1 for this play. 2 & 26

Bama Tua was different. The injury changed him.

Interesting thought.
If Jalen Milroe was plucked and put back in one of our more dismal 2000s campaigns.... think. 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007....
I mean, does he do any worse? I think he'd be a stark improvement in all 5 seasons.
