Kiffin would tear us apart with Milroe as the qb. He would have so much misdirection and action to the outside, and Milroe would run all over us through the holes created. Then once we brought extra guys in the box Milroe would beat us deep (which is a strength of his). Man I kiss Kiffin/Sark

If he’s going to be dual threat that’s fine, but that means his arm needs to be a threat in more scenarios than it currently is. We’re going to have quick receivers next year, and if the first pass against Wisconsin isn’t a fricking slant I will lose my shite.
He wouldn’t scare me at all as a passer and he seems to think he’s a drop back passer over a dual threat runner. It’s like he has to fail at passing before he’ll commit to using his legs.

People kept saying Milroe turned a corner and I guess he did in some ways compared to the Texas game & 2022, but it was never like he became Deshaun Watson or Vince Young in the second half of the year.
The whole “who’s laughing now?” commentary was poor form.

Maybe. Probably not.
Look, it’s pretty simple. If the coaches think our best option in a win or go home play from the 4 yard line is a QB run, we have serious limitations at the position from a passing standpoint. That’s it.

Without a doubt. You don't want a true freshmen to start. Simpson couldn't beat out Milroe this year. Maybe one of the freshmen QB from the 23 class might have a chance, maybe.

Rees must think the same thing because he’s calling the plays.

He will start as the starter. Very little question. If he remains the starter will depend on many factors - his improvement or lack thereof and the improvement or lack thereof from the rest of the QB room.
FWIW, we don't have a QB on this roster that would have been successful yesterday with the way Michigan was eating our lunch up front.

Part of the reason they were eating our lunch is they had no respect for Milroe. They knew that if they applied pressure and forced him to make quick decisions, he wouldn’t be effective.

They seem to hold back on JM runs early. Maybe it’s the injury factor they consider.

That's literally every QB at every level of football.

Milroe has almost zero pocket presence. It’s actually pretty wild with the kind of athlete he is. He could absolutely lead a devastating offense in a Malzahn type system, but he thinks he is a pocket passer and that is what our offense needs. We never committed to running him as our offensive identity because it isn’t who we are. All the hopes that he is going to get better” seems a little like a pipe dream. His lack of vision at this stage is kind of alarming.

Well that’s not true. A Tua type passer that excels at the short and intermediate stuff would have eaten this team alive.

Not with these WRs. That's not Jeudy, Waddle, Smith and Ruggs getting easy separation out there.

Tua would have no issues with Bond, Hale, and Law out there

I don’t agree seeing him on another team is scary. Not scary at all…that’s the problem.
If he’s the quarterback …then so be it, but I don’t see great things there especially with the offenses we’re facing in 2024 that are going to score, a lot.

McLaughlin is the problem. So tired of this foolishness. We win the game with an adequate snapper.

Who knows and I not saying Simpson could or will stick around, but how many people on this board thought M Jones would stick around and how many thought Jones would end up being the QB he turned out to be?

Yes, he will almost certainly be the starter.
Can he complete a slant consistently? We don’t know, because we have no idea how many times that was the call and we get a poor snap that kills the ability to run it.
Until I watched the Washington/Texas game last night and the ball perfectly snapped, or close enough that the qb never had to field it like a shortstop every other play I didn’t really appreciate how much that helps. I’m probably going to go back and look at the whole game and see how many good snaps we had in the entire game. In OT, which I’ve already looked at the answer is none of the 6 were good. NONE.
While Milroe has his limitations, until that is fixed we truly don’t know what he can be.

The difference is how they handle the pressure. There are a lot of QBs that can process quickly and get the ball out. Milroe isn’t one of them. On top of that, he’s got extremely poor instincts.
