guess the guy that thinks Seth McLaughlin was ever anything more than an average player here.
So, you can't dispute what I actually say, so you're just knocking down straw men?

I did say the bad snaps were overblown. He had too many, but some of them should have been caught anyway. And, you don't lose games based on a play or two.
Are you under the impression that we only had a couple of errant snaps every game last season?

If you're going to give me some stats about "bad snaps" that were good enough to be fielded relatively cleanly, I'm going to ask you to come up with those same stats for our previous centers who you aren't blaming losses on.

How about you just answer a straightforward question. Do you think we only had a couple of bad snaps every game last season? Because if you do you must have just listened on the radio and there's really no point in anyone continuing to debate this with you. It's a completely undeniable fact that the snap would be at Milroe's feet or over his head on a regular basis. We can debate all day if perhaps being thrown off by Milroe's cadence caused Seth a lot of stress because he wasn't sure when to snap the ball, which ultimately gave him the yips. That's a fair discussion. We can't deny that he had the yips though. There were snaps every single game that were not just difficult to catch, but impossible to catch either because the ball never got off the ground or because Milroe isn't 7 feet tall. It's wild that you're actually trying to argue this. We all witnessed it happen time and time again.

This isn't a straightforward question. What I asked was a straightforward question. Are you counting snaps that aren't perfect but are usually fielded by a QB that is on the same page as the center and expecting the ball as bad snaps? If you're just going to look at some website and say __% of Seth's snaps were "bad" I'm saying you're going to need to do that for other shotgun centers in the past and show me the difference.

I said it happened too often. But, do you have a concrete number? Or are they just standing out in your head?

But, it's easier just to blame Seth for it all. I imagine now that Milroe's cheerleaders have seen the light, some might be more open to the possibility that the bad snaps weren't ALL Seth's fault.

I've said he had too many bad snaps. But, it wasn't as many as some pretend, and they weren't the reason we lost games. They were ONE thing we didn't do well in a long list of things.
But, it's easier for dumb people to say if Milroe hadn't had to reach for that one snap a little bit at the end of a clusterfrick of a game, we would have won. Rather than admit the reason we needed a last second TD was because of a multitude of reasons, and bad snaps were not leading those reasons.

I remember when several of us predicted this very thing would happen. Everything LANK touches turns to shite.

Parker Brailsford seemed to snap and block just fine this season

Were those terrible snaps on purpose?

Even Brailsford had some bad snaps this year despite never having any at Washington.
CADENCE ISSUES. The problem was always Milroe

CADENCE ISSUES
This was common knowledge for those in tune with the program at the time.
Seth took the high road, but communication issues were definitely mentioned.
Frick the LANK crowd they don't know shite.
The only time Seth has ever not excelled at his job was with captain lank. Coincidence? No.

I personally feel the following about McLaughlin
- At times, he was easily a top 5 center at Bama.
- Against Elite DTs, he had issues and could be overpowered.
- I do think cadence was whack last year. I do think it led to the yips.
- His snaps did have an impact on games, last year.
- He seems like a good dude and proud of him for his season.
