He can't complete intermediate passes
He also has to anticipate WRs being in the zone and throwing the ball before they're looking at him. Tua maybe the best at this I've ever seen.
Milroe will NEVER be able to do this.

Well, the team wanted Milroe and not anyone else. LANK ! Yeah right.

Milroe literally can’t throw a slant
Were in game 14 of our passing plays being either 20+ yards downfield, throws to the flat, or outs on the sideline. We do not throw it over the middle for a reason
I remember saying this at the start of the year. Milroe could get away with poor games and underdeveloped progressions for only so long, against a defense with a pulse we would struggle heavily unless he made major progressions. That happened today

People are defending him too. It amazes me that Kiffin, Sark, etc can get players half as talented as Milroe and Ty Simpson to be big time...just by scheming. Yet on this forum so many would rather expect the limited QB to make his own plays instead of the damn OC we pay millions I mean Michigan's OC was scheming up some magic to trick our defense. So much movement and mismatching. We couldn't even get our OC to consistently move the pocket or use bootlegs.
We win this game by 14 with either QB1 or QB2 from Ole Miss. Rees has had wide open receivers all year, and Milroe had can’t see them or get the ball to them. Rees didn’t snap the ball or fumble the ball in the second half, both of which killed drives that were moving the ball.
I’m sure Kiffin or Sark would probably do a better job of scheming around Milroe’s limitations, but I’m not going to blame Rees for the fact Milroe can’t execute basic passing concepts like hot routes and blitz reads. Let’s give Rees an actual passing QB like any of the other 3 QBs in the CFP before we say he sucks. Hoping Milroe gets a lot better next year if he is our QB.

Everybody saw the swing pass to Jam. He couldn't have touched the ball with a boat oar.

Actually every time he threw a slant this year the throw was on the money.

Three players missed blocks on that play (TE, #77 and guard)
The te didn't miss his block. He pushed his man into the interior on a play designed to go to the left. 77 pulled to the left and would have blocked someone if they were there.
Seth's snap threw things off.

This is shades of Daboll with Hurts
“Kiffin would scheme guys open, Kiffin wouldn’t hold back our offense”
Tape got out, Hurts was getting clamped against UW/Clemson, then next year Daboll had to try to fit a square peg into a round hole
Our best play is Milroe scrambling from the pocket on a broken play. That’s been our best play all year

How many of them went for long TDs or long plays?
If a slant is on the money vs a blitz it should be a big hitter. I don't remember a big play off of a slant all year. Point is, Milroe holds the ball too long.

How creative do you think we can be with Milroe running the offense?

The final play was there. There was a seam but Seth shitty snap threw everything off
What??!!! O line let everyone through lile they had been doing all night. It was DUMB to run it up the middle. Left guard was on the back of d lineman that hugged milroe.

We may have thrown two slants this year, and I genuinely believe that’s an accurate estimate
A guy with plenty of intermediate and short playcalling with Ian Book doesn’t abandon it entirely for absolutely no reason

Plus, Milroe tripped over Latham getting pancaked.

Watching this Wash/UT game...its evident. Its not that Rees didnt dial up some creativity, its that id didnt come
near enough when it was needed
We can't even snap the ball correctly.
How many sacks did we give up? And none were even "coverage" sacks.
Our OL just didn't perform as well as it should, and with that you can only create so much with what you have.

Uh I haven't seen a single play call that actually had a hot route this season.

WRs can only get open with long-developing routes because they're sloppy or poor route runners. The QB cannot consistently throw in windows in the short to medium game, so he doesn't have the confidence to throw without separation. Mostly a footwork problem but his WRs don't help them. Offensive line is just plain bad. They're big, so we could probably be a fierce team in a more old school offense. Regrettably, Alabama doesn't have a star tailback that is ready to be an every down back. With that said, Rees got exposed in this game. Michigan did not respect his window dressing at all. They used the player that was "should" be going with the motion to assist in blitzes and run fits.
Rees didn't earn himself a pink slip by his performance but I am not impressed by him either. There are so many problem with this offensive unit. They only broke 30 points against P5 competition 4 times this season. The Tennessee game was aided by a non-offensive touchdown, so really it was just 3 times by offensive scores and each opponent was a poor defensive unit. Alabama could cruised into the national title if they simply had a functional offense that could consistently score 30 against P5 opponents. No excuses next year. If it is the same shite, different year: the entire offensive staff needs to be purged.

Go watch the sack where the LB blitzes from left side. Milroe had 2 wide open guys, including the TE on a hot route directly where the blitz just vacated. Milroe stared down his #1 option on the right and took the sack instead of seeing the blitz and hitting the TE for a 5-7 yd gain.

Watch a slant on any given Sunday... It's a short yardage play.. a first down getter. Sometimes they go big, but that not always the case. This isn't Madden 23.

He is not an effective short to medium range passer, especially when he's asked to progress through his reads while they camp in zone gaps, and even more especially when the pocket collapses.
How in the world did he get the job at Alabama? He's a G5 type coordinator at best. He doesn't play to his qb's strengths. Just a very uninspiring and boring coordinator.

Ystar, they will rather trash milroe because they didn’t wanna like him anyway
This is so tiresome. People don't personally dislike Milroe. People criticize Milroe's play because his play has consistently been poor. His defenders have spent all season rationalizing and coming up with conspiracy theories as to why not everyone can see his greatness. It's time to acknowledge that he's just a very limited quarterback.
