No. Spencer Pennington



Pennington was a walk-on third string baseball player. He would never have been on the team absent sanctions and never on the field absent multiple injuries. People who always bring him up as the worst quarterback have no understanding of context and frankly out themselves as retards. He doesn't even count.

No. He was a FB recruit. Period. He was the backup QB. Signed in the same class as Brodie Croyle.

No. He won an SEC Championship. That's not for nothing.

Was also 6-0 vs UGA, AU, and LSU.

He's the worst modern qb that started multiple seasons. The QBs worse than him were injury fill ins on probation teams.

For this alone, he gets a little grace...although he was lucky as hell to win Auburn game in 23

How in the hell he ended up signing a scholarship is beyond me.

Because of "potential"

I don't get it either. Jalen Mbakwe probably has more potential at QB than Milroe

Kitchens has more goodwill than Milroe ever will as a former player and he’s had a heck of a career as a coach.

Really? Freddie had a big arm and sometimes tried threading the needle too often but at least Freddie would genuinely try to make the tackle if he threw an INT. Can’t say that about Radio.

Freddie would also stand in the pocket and get the pass off even though he knew he was going to get drilled. Had a thousand times more courage than Milroe ever showed.

He is not. However, he got paid more than any other and is assuredly worse than anyone who got paid more than a dodge charger’s worth.

Eh. His only stint as a HC lasted 17 weeks. He was that bad. Mostly just a position coach his whole career. Maybe UNC will get him back on the right track.

John Parker Wilson? Tyler Watts? Vince Sutton? Danny Woodson? Brian Burgdorf, Freddie Kitchens, Lance Tucker, David Smith, Jeff Dunn. frick, if I keep going Milroe won't even be in the bottom 10 post-Bryant.

Shouldn't even mention Brodie because his fans get upset, but he was a bad QB by literally every metric except fan love. I believe he still holds the NFL record for starts without ever winning a game.

I mean, Milroe sucks, but we're throwing out some wild stuff in here tonight.
