Looks like he’s finding the whole and navigating traffic pretty well to me

What I said is correct. He's fast, so he's dangerous if he gets some space. The problem is his lack of field vision. It doesn't disappear just because he's not throwing the ball. He often makes bad decision while running.

Yes, he does great when designed runs work correctly. He also does great when the first option on a passing play becomes open.
The problems happen when these things aren't there.

Well that’s a pivot from “he’s not that dangerous of a runner because of his poor vision”
I, nor anyone that I’ve seen, has claimed that he has Manziel magic

No, it's the exact same statement. He doesn't need vision when the first read works. He's great at running plays, as written, when the play works perfectly and the first read is there.
That's not nothing, but we'll need more than that to win anything of significance. If he's our best option, we need him to fix that issue. I hoped that would have happened over the off-season.

He was the QB last year when Alabama beat the #1 team in the country and won the SEC title.
Good lord people can't remember things for more than 10 seconds.
"Duurrrr, Alabama can't never win nothing with Milroe"
"What about winning the SEC Championship and beating the #1 team?"
"Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

I’m just confused why we’re comparing him to Barry Sanders and Shaun Alexander. But then all the context is about him going through reads and making plays when things break down. Which is more scrambling and less designed runs
I don’t think you’ll catch anyone here saying that he is a great scrambler or that he is great at working a muddy pocket and using his athleticism to make plays in the passing game. Frankly because he’s not. Nor is he particularly creative. But on designed runs I’m seeing patience and block reading

The short dumpoff passes on 3rd down and long where the targets had to jump to catch the ball and had no chance to make a first down were annoying.

No I get that but in some of our overmatched opponents it would be nice to see him get a couple of series in the first or second qtr when we’re not up by 3 TDs

Main question: with his flaws, what's the answer?

Forget about that run to a touchdown last year after bad snap do ya?

He has flaws. They may or may not bite us in the arse when we finally face a good defense. We'll see. But, it's natural for non-cheerleaders to point out areas of concern.
I read his post and I don't think it mentioned pointing out areas of concern. It did mention people suggesting he should be benched, which is a position that is pretty hard to have based on facts alone. The former is totally acceptable, the latter is ridiculous.

Wait, we have fans that think this team would be better with someone other than Milroe? LOL

Yep, they are Ty Truthers. Somehow they have acquired extremely keen QB scouting ability & have declared Ty Simpson is superior to Milroe based on evidence none of the rest of us have ever seen. If you ask for this evidence, they just make general criticisms of Milroe.

I didn't do that.

That's all I've been saying, and I think it's pretty clear people here completely disagree with that assessment.

I'm not sure we can call it "block reading" on designed runs. He runs where the play was designed for him to run. Oftentimes even if the blocks aren't there.

Sure, if we want to focus on only one game. It's hard to imagine anyone claiming Jalen Milroe wasn't a complete liability in a number of games last season. We were very fortunate to win the Auburn game, for example, and should have never needed late game heroics to win that one.
Those are the kinds of games we cannot have against good teams, and I'm not seeing improved decision making in that regard.
I couldn't care less about "beating the number 1 team." I want to win national championships. That's what Alabama does.

Did he have any turnovers against Auburn? No. You’re not making any sense.
