I most definitely wasn't posting that twitter post about Blake Sims...I was posting because of Drew DeArmond said.

Kiffin wanted to throw his arms up and watch a TD pass. He should have been running Henry a lot more instead.

I agree with you there; not excusing Milroe from the UT loss, he had an awful night…he was bad with South Carolina as well…
But now folk here are playing revisionist history not even giving him credit for those games he was a huge factor in our winning…and that’s what irks me. UGA is 34-2 in its last three seasons thus far; those two losses were directly tied to their inability to defend against Jalen Milroe…

Blake was a better passer, runner, and much smarter than Milroe.

Blake was a better passer than Milroe, no question; Milroe is the better runner, also no question. I think Blake was decidedly better at making pre-snap reads…

Sims had 350 yards rushing in 14 games. He never had more than 54 yards in a game in 2014. Milroe has done that 8 times. On the other hand, Sims only ran it 10 times or more once, and that was exactly 10 times. Milroe has run 10 times or more in 10 of the last 11 games.

I agree, Milroe has had 3 fantastic games. LSU last year and the two Georgia games. The problem is that same player hasnt shown up for other games. Weve gotten a player reluctant to run the ball.

Milroe was also really good against TAMU last year (321 yards passing, 3 TDs) as well as Kentucky (234 yards passing, 3 TDs and 3 rushing TDs).
He's got some fantastic tape out there but he's also got enough lowlights just from the last 3 games to merit seeing the bench.

I think Simpson should start this week. I won’t be up in arms if he doesn’t. I will be upset if Milroe is bad again and Simpson doesn’t play significant snaps.
But, imo, it’s outright ridiculous to blame Milroe for what’s happening with the team. And I don’t believe Alabama is in a significantly better position if he is never the starter this year.

I am sort of in this boat maybe moreso because I will be at the game and do not want to be in a roller coaster of emotions all game.

Milroe is a key piece of it though. He is to inconsistent and I believe the staff has given him enough chances to develop and improve which he has not. He does not have it at this level.

I agree with this as well but I also believe we may not be any worse off either.

I think I posted on here a year or two asking why we didn’t go hard into the portal to find a top flight QB to come in after Bryce. I know it’s not as simple as that but we all saw the limitations Jalen had in that 2022 A&M game and knew he needed a lot of work.
That’s all certainly easier said than done. I’m sure we tried (I think we talked with Van Dyke?) and maybe we came up empty or got outbid but in retrospect, we could’ve avoided a lot of headaches.

Agreed, there were serious issues with this team that a hail mary pass against Auburn washed away from peoples memory

I don’t think it would hurt to start Milroe against Missouri, see how he does, and play Simpson at the first sign of bad play. Competition breeds either a better player or one that crumbles. Either way.

I have never liked him as the QB at Bama and thought we would never win a championship with him as the starter but he is a good kid. I wish he wasn't the starter but I am not going to blast his intelligence and call him a moron. Show some class. He plays for our team. You don't have to make it so personal about the kid's intelligence. Playing QB has very little to do with intelligence. It's how quickly you can process when 280-300 pound guys are trying to take your head off. You calling him a moron and all the other stuff you spew out there is garbage.

But I could be wrong and definitely believe we need to test the theory starting very soon.
I would not be surprised if Simpson plays better than Milroe has of late. I also think it worth the move bc if it works out, the narrative surrounding 10-2 Alabama after Simpson beats Mizzou, LSU, Auburn, and Oklahoma will be very positive. It seems like the logical move at this point.
ETA: Milroe picked a really bad day to be wildly inaccurate. That’s an ugly, but relatively easy W if he has a decent throwing day. With half the fanbase believing he’s never made a good decision or throw, it’s going to be hard for him to come back from it(which is terrible).
The same horde destroying Milroe will absolutely go BALLISTIC when they realize he’s not THE problem. If they had their way, we would have 100000000% missed the SECC and playoff last season. The high ground they think they have with this topic is genuinely amazing to me. If these emotional folks were making the decisions, we’d be in one hell of a worse spot.

He was lighting up UGA like they were a middle school team, and now he’s back to his old ways. It’s confusing.
IMHO, the OC can only do so much when the QB doesn’t execute. Even the announcers for one game said he was reading his checkdowns backwards… that’s NOT a good sign.

This is just an AWFUL take.

JMO but Kalen isn't going to replace Milroe. I expect this weeks game to be close the entire (ahead or behind) but #4 is taking all the snaps.
Then Open Date.
Then LSU in Baton Rouge. Very possible this is where the thing blows up for Kalen.

LSU is playing well right now. If we have the same kind of play and barely beat Missouri, LSU has the capability to blow us out.
