Ty has a quicker release than Milroe. It is noticeable even in practice. Everyone has an off night. The Ol was off but so was Milroe. And we can throw Sheridan in there too. The refs totally fricked up the flow of the game. I hope that crew is sent to Siberia.

It's embarrassing when we change channels to Boise and I'm watching some kid from Idaho lead a drive with more nuance in the passing game than anything I've seen from Milroe in two years. Hot reads, adjustments at the line, short game, etc.

His pocket presence after four years is still just god awful

You do realize the coach is in his ear through a microphone. If they wanted him to audible they’d tell him to. Some of you want to throw milroe under the bus when even Tom Brady wouldn’t have been able to do anything with the protection and play calling we had last night.

All of this. I’m sick of the dog and pony show with Milroe. He needs to focus on improving as a quarterback than all the NIL deals and dancing in the end zone. At some point, DeBoer will have to make a tough decision with the starting quarterback position. If I’m Simpson and his family do they speak up ?

Simpson's family is a coaching family...they're not going to do that...they stuck around because they've got a mentality of a coach not bleacher parents who think their kids hung the moon.

This is a bad take. By all accounts, Milroe is one of hardest workers on the team (if not the hardest). If he's failing on the field, it's not because he isn't putting the time and effort in on the practice field and/or in the film room.

ETA: And LOL at you fans crying about his dancing in the end zone. A bunch of old men yelling at clouds

I’m not trying to throw anyone under a bus my man. I’m simply pointing out that Milroe does not have the advanced QB skills that we Bama fans became used to going from Tua to Mac to Bryce. That’s OK to admit. He has flaws. Seeing that doesn’t mean you hate him, are calling for the backup, or that other parts of the team, in this case the OL, made issues much worse. It just means you see an area for improvement.

As far as the in helmet communication goes, I’d bet that could get dicey real quick trying to change plays at the line. Imagine the D shifts with 22s left on the play clock. The OC/QB Coach have to see the change, change the play and communicate that in 7s. What if the D shifts again? What if the call change is only half communicated when the recover is switched off? On Gameday yesterday they specifically quoted some coaches that said they don’t want to information overload the QB going to the line.

Georgia 2023 would disagree.


Kirby went full retard by spying instead of blitzing which is surprising as good of a DC he is. He should of known better. At the very least, he should have made adjustments by halftime. Still boggles my mind as it wasn't even a secret. If he constantly blitzed they blow us out.

Georgia literally had 2 players playing spy on him. It was really dumb game planning by Smart. But Smart almost always seemed out his element playing Saban teams

I really don't get all the crapping on Milroe when the offensive line was Objectively terrible. People just always blame milroe for every thing

At some point after Alabama settled in, they had a drive that ended in a FGM but the 3rd down play Georgia sent six and Milroe did a good job of rolling out and almost hit Bond for a TD at the back pylon but he may have been able to run for a first down too. I think that spooked Smart because he knew most of the time Milroe is running but there happened to be a good opportunity for an explosive TD this time.

I don’t think we can beat elite teams only running the qb and throwing bombs while not sustaining drives. I hope last night was a bad oline problem and not the same Milroe problem.

The running backs are damn studs and they mostly couldn’t get anything going inside. I sat there last night thinking as bad as the offensive was playing a change at qb won’t help, not matter who comes in.

If the oline gets healthy and correct and we still struggle against a team like USF that’ll suck, only thing is our next games after Whiskey are the big boys.

Why the do some of you say shite like “if this would’ve happen Georgia would’ve whooped our arse”? You want to be mr. know-everything-football that bad that you’d give ways we could have lost former games? That’s just weird.

Milroe is 23/35 on the year (65%) 394 yards, 5 TDS. He also had 4 rushing TDs.

We are fine.

But he's not Tua so therefore he sucks!

If Milroe is starting over Simpson at this point, it's simply due to the fact that he's better. He stayed on the field and was named the starter by Saban last year and has been proclaimed the starter by a totally new head coach and coaching staff this year.

If you want to argue it's because he has the loyalty of the team and therefore removing him from QB1 would cause a rebellion, then I feel like that's more of an indictment of our coaching staff and it should be THEM that should be getting the lion's share of the blame for what happened last night.

If our best QB is sitting on the bench due to player loyalties then I question the ability of this coaching staff to lead us to a championship this year and the years to come.

It's delusion from people who want Ty Simpson to be something he isn't. Period, end of story. The idea that two straight coaching staffs (one in which we had no incumbent starter, one in which has no loyalty to the previous starter) didn't find Simpson to be a realistic option speaks volumes.


This is too reasonable, it’s obvious there has to be a grand conspiracy theory as to why Milroe is the starter.

Someone (Saban) told DeBoer that he’d lose the locker room if he didn’t name Milroe the starter. There’s your conspiracy.

The people who get paid millions to get young men in their late teens or early 20s to win football games have all conspired to play the inferior quarterback because they hate the fans.
