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.
What does any of this have to do with him being banged up and when he was banged up?

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.
He’s one of the few QBs that should do the combine AND the pro-day workout
Distance yourself from the tape

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.
Genuine question here, but what’s makes you say that about Sheridan? Inconsistent is directly tied to Milroe. Inexperience could be that he’s basically having to adjust his offense to something that isn’t what he knows. Like Rees had to do last season, which you correctly pointed out. I think Sheridan is an ok OC, sure Grub was better but his wife didn’t want to move. We may end up with him soon anyway.

Grubb is coaching an offense for a 8-6 team. I don't see why he wouldn't be back.

- Played hero ball at times
- Incapable of running a simple RPO, what would have freed up almost everything else in the playbook
- Inexperienced OC that got too cute sometimes
- Played some good defenses
- A lot on tape, scheming against him isn't terribly difficult at this point
- Extremely erratic on short to intermediate passes, again lending to easy scheming for opponent DC's
He just isn't a good college QB. If he could run the RPO slant even at a 70% right/wrong read clip, we would have gone undefeated. I'd bet he made the wrong read on RPO calls about 60% of the time. It was baffling.

Compare and contrast Rees and Sheridan?

Coaching is about putting players in the best position to succeed on the field. You adjust your play calling to put players in play that have a high percentage of success.
The coaching staff did not do that this year and that is the reason the team regressed. If Alabama had last year's staff, this team goes 11-1.
Too many sunshine pumpers on this board that refuse to acknowledge how bad the coaching was this year.

Rees gave him very simplified concepts for most of the season and leaned on the run game. Shades of 2014 Ohio State with Cardale, used the deep ball to keep the box empty and then were able to get some extra yardage with less in the box. Its why we saw so many flood concepts where receivers stacked one side of the field, less time needed for reads
Well, come later in the season and teams start realizing they can just pull the Michigan blueprint. Full offseason of review, a good slew of that gets taken away like what we saw with year 1 Jalen and year 2 Jalen
Deboer gave him more freedom with routes but at the end of the day teams would rather dare him to throw, and rightfully so, by taking away the edges and run game. Turns out Milroe can't operate as a passer well enough, especially with the blitz getting a sack more often than not because he's one of the slowest time to throw guys in the NCAA

No, coaching is about getting the right players in to do what you want to do. That means there is the possibility of a transition year. That means there's a chance you might not play for the big trophy every single, solitary year even when you have the oodles of talent that this team actually doesn't have.
And last year's team could easily have gone 8-4 with last year's coaching staff and was damn lucky to get to the playoffs and was the worst of the four teams in the playoffs.
Yes I'm arguing with an Auburn troll who I'd block if they'd let you block people on this often three-ring circus website, but sometimes things need to be said.

Nick Sheridan’s inexperience was on display.
Just curious and I'm not trying to disparage your comment but how was it on display under the following circumstances?
- Milroe throwing a screen pass when the CB is up in press man coverage resulting in INT
- Milroe eyes the receiver, releases the ball late and it's INT for pick 6
- The numerous times Milroe in the RPO reads the defense incorrectly, resulting in the RB getting hammered or MIlroe when he should have given it to the back
- Milroe running sideways and taking a sack over and over again. He did it with Reese too.

I see the thumbs down would you care to comment why you disagree?
I think DeBoer and Sheridan were trying to help Milroe advance his career. They didn't "baby" him like someone else said. They let him be the QB running the offense. It just didn't work. No OC, no matter how innovative or great, will be able to do that with Milroe.

Milroe is eyeing where the play is going when he comes out of the huddle just like high school.

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.
This and the fact that that his wife didn’t want to come to Alabama. She was happy on the West Coast, so it’s sort of ridiculous for Grubbs to have come to Alabama when Seattle was offering the same position, same money, same town, fewer headaches and a happy wife.

I didn't downvote you. I think Milroe has some severe issues. This isn't all on Sheridan.
I think that our playcalling left a lot on the table in 2024 and it was VERY uneven.
1H of UGA was LIGHTS OUT. Best play calling I've seen in a long long time.
On the other hand, Milroe threw the ball 40 times in UT (granted plays were open.... BUT if you ain't lightning it up. Perhaps change your methodology).

Same guy as he was in 2022, when BOB said he wasn’t a QB.

I’ll be happy to see whoever Coach thinks is the guy and what he looks like. Should tell us a lot.

This was the first year a QB has regressed under DeBoer in his career.
First year without Brian Grubbs. Don't discount that....
It's funny to read people trying to make this all on milroe when Rees seemed to do well with him last year. I think Sheridan was in over his head... Throwing 45 times against TN was ridiculous. We had no balance between running and pass... At times we looked like Sheridan was pulling plays from a hat.
Milroe has his issues, but the OC wasn't helping him out.

Milroe regressed because he's an athlete playing quarterback.
He doesn't have quarterback qualities.
-He can't read defenses
-He's not accurate
-He has no pocket awareness
-His footwork is spotty
-He doesn't have an high football IQ!
That's his ISSUES.
