Was DeBoers offense too difficult for him
Clearly.
Milroe is a conundrum. I can't figure the guy out. Nobody can.
It's like, he's fast, but he sucks at running somehow. He's an accurate passer, but only when he's able to lock in on one target the whole play, and they have to be wide open.
Terrible pocket awareness. Terrible instincts and vision.
He's a walking disaster. Good luck to whoever drafts this guy

He didn't. He got lucky last year.
People who keep yelling “But mah 5 starz” about how “talented” we are keep putting their hands over their ears and humming when people try to say it, but so much of what happened in 2023 was because of blind luck and a historic coaching job by the GOAT. Although sometimes he was just along for the ride too, like the ending of the Iron Bowl.

Yeah but it’s like you can’t avoid looking at a train wreck, sometimes you just can’t help but respond LOL.

Tape was out and he was punished for pre snap determinations/staring down WRs
Some of his picks were unbelievably bad for a player of his potential.

Milroe scored 35 TDs in 12 games this year. He scored 35 in 14 games last year. Bama's scoring average went from 34ppg to 35ppg this year, though conference scoring was down a bit. Scoring came via rushing TDs (40 in 12 vs 32 in 14). People not named Milroe ran for the same amount of TDs (20) on the ground both years.
In terms of production the offense was overall about the same. This year, though, the highs were higher and the lows were lower.
The offense ran more in the redzone with Milroe this year. He had 8 redzone TDs last year and 16 this year.
The biggest change was the turnovers. Milroe had some really bad INTs this year. I'm not sure why. He had 4 INTs after the Texas game last year (12 games) while he had 4 INTs in the final 2 games alone this season. Georgia was the last time Milroe had more passing TDs than INTs in a game this year.. Read that again. I was shocked to see that. If you take out WKU, USF, and Mercer he had 8 TDs and 10 INTs against P5 teams. Yikes.

I think he makes it really hard to figure out who to blame for the poor play. Is it him…is it coaching?

So you give Rees a pass but not Sheridan? What’s the common denominator? That’s the real take
Not giving anyone a pass but Rees wasn’t as bad as everyone made him out to be. He was also a more experienced play caller than Sheridan at this point. I think Sheridan can be a good OC but he was inconsistent and that has to do with his inexperience, IMO.

Real Take…
- Rees wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone made him out to be.
- DeBoer lost Ryan Grubbs who has been with him for a very long time.
- Nick Sheridan’s inexperience was on display.
Probably the closest thing to the truth. Wonder if Grubb took a look at the situation and said, "H*** naw!"?

Sheridan looked like a different guy after a bye week. I don't know if that was him having more time to scheme, DeBoer being able to devote more time to helping, or what. But we were so damn good in both games coming off byes. Right out of the gate we were humming. Many other games, though, we either started slow or never started.

I think Grubb just got a great chance to stay home. I don't think it was because of Milroe, even though I know it's popular to blame him for everything.

Sounds reasonable....we will never fully know.

It isn't a conundrum. He isn't a qb. QBs can do the things you listed that Milroe can't.
Having a tool belt doesn't make you a handyman.

I still believe that part of the production decline was due to Milroe being banged up for part of this season. DeBoer hinted at that during one of his interviews, saying that Milroe was a different QB when he was fresh.
Of course, Milroe has some issues as a QB anyway. Our struggles at the tackle positions compounded those issues. He's exasperating to watch sometimes, but he can also be a mismatch if the opponent doesn't have the right personnel and scheme to neutralize him.

Was he banged up in the head? Unless he got banged up during halftime of the UGA game I don’t see how this theory hold true.

He's definitely limited as a QB, Georgia made adjustments to take away his running. Not everyone has the players to do that. But if he's hesitant to run , especially for tough yards, or hesitant to make tackles after interceptions, that definitely affects his effectiveness. His willingness to run is a huge part of his admittedly limited game. Not ideal, but that's just a fact.

He didn’t. He just continued being inconsistent.

Do you ever have a good take? Seriously?
