No, he did not throw any picks against Texas last year. Was only sacked twice, not 5 times. And certainly did not stare down receivers and throw ugly interceptions. Milroe is NOT a quarterback! He is an athlete who can throw a deep ball and connect sometimes. That is not a quarterback.

Saban knows that and that is why he got yanked and wasn't even the 2nd string today.



And it resulted in a whopping 17-3 win against the mighty South Florida Bulls. The worst game a Saban team has displayed since the ULM loss in 2007. Bar none.

Great call!

Lmao Bryce was a hair away from taking a safety. I’ll admit I can’t remember on the picks, but it was every bit as ugly as last weekend’s game, but we got out with the win thanks to injury luck.

big guy. You might need a little break. We played like shite today offensively. We played like shite last week too


Not personal with me dude I'm glad we won. I was speaking on their bias against Milroe. It's starting to seem like its borderline personal angst against him instead of objective thinking. I could care less who starts as long as they perform well but the shite I've been hearing said about Milroe is starting to become ridiculous now.

You really need to pay better attention. Look at the 11:15 mark of the 4th qtr. He hit #17 over the middle with a fantastic intermediate pass. The pass to #81 for the long gain was on the border between an intermediate and a deep ball. He threw it on a line more like an intermediate throw.

They can’t handle the fact that the QB they thought was the worst on the team might actually be the best option. Sometimes you just have to face the reality that this is an actual legitimate rebuilding season on offense. We don’t have the one or two playmakers that can bail us out like we’ve always seemed to have in the past.

You don’t rebuild with a guy who will never have the ability to read a defense. Doing so means you start 2024 with a bunch of promising young QBs with zero experience and…a guy who can run fast but can’t read a defense.

Is that right? Did Saban even think of yanking Bryce the next game? You are measuring apples against oranges. Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe aren't in the same solar system.

Jalen is a one read, stare down the receiver, turn over love-machine.

Calling everyone who disagrees with your bad take dumb as shite is pretty personal big guy. Milroe performed poorly last week. Both QBs were bad today. Milroe has had 3 starts and was dog water in 2/3. The other was MTSU. It’s not personal to say he has major deficiencies, some of which are QB 101 level issues.
Simpson struggled today in a game where he came into a major shitshow after a rain delay. He wasn’t great by any stretch, but they were his first meaningful snaps, ever, at Alabama. You know what he did t do? He didn’t make any stupid arse mistakes that gave points away.
The OL has been shite since week 1. I’d prefer 5he guy who doesn’t panic throw on a bad pre-snap read.

You act as if QB is the only problem with this team.

There’s plenty wrong with this team, especially the offense. But if you’re truly building toward a better tomorrow, does it make sense to establish an offensive identity around a strong RB core in the run game and a passing attack that incorporates reads and uses every part of the field, or would you rather establish an identity around a bunch of QB runs, one-read passes, and deep bombs? Which of those is sustainable? Which of those actually helps develop QBs?

The offense was incredibly flat today.

Calling what I said a bad take when you can see for your own eyes that it's the truth seems even more personal but to each his own though.

You wanna know what he also didn't do, make a significant difference when it comes to his QB play compared to Milroe. You put Simpson in that Texas game and we still lose. The OL is the major problem when that gets fixed then I believe our QBs can have a chance to be great but as of now the only guy we have on the roster who can make a play when our OL breaks down is Milroe. I can't blame a guy for trying hard to make a play especially when his OL and OC isn't doing him any favors.

His athletic ability seems to be largely negated by his indecisiveness though. The guy has trouble committing to the scramble unless it's a designed run, and by then a defender has usually arrived.

Compare him to freshman Jalen Hurts who, despite his limited passing ability, totally committed to the QB run when he did decide to take off.

I'd rather have a guy that can make consistent passes, and Simpson is not exactly slow, so the threat of the QB run is still present.

What I saw was a QB that protected the ball and didn't make any stupid throws.

Not turning the ball over is pretty significant.

This part I agree with.

What plays are you referring to? I think most would be ecstatic if Milroe had used his superior athleticism to make a play, but he never did. He didn’t make mistakes under pressure. He made them with a clean pocket. His OC dialed up two wide open wheel routes that should have both been TDs. Neither was. Multiple times he broke the pocket right to the pressure. Other times he flat out refused to run to green grass in front of him. He doesn’t see the field and it is maddening. Your eyes only see the one beautiful td he threw to 3.
