If Milroe was the reason………

Our OC is shite, or he is totally hobbled like Daboll was with Hurts. I'm betting its a mixture of both because I know for a FACT that Rees was way down the list when CNS started looking for an OC. I also happened to watch all the games this season, and came away thoroughly unimpressed with just about EVERY ASPECT OF THE ENTIRE OFFENSE. What could we hang our hat on as an offense this year ? Being sacked 6 times ?

Our QB is LIMITED. I looked it up at one point during the season there was ONE other quarterback in the entire league that held the ball longer than Milroe. Do you understand what this means ? He was literally computing everything that he saw slower than EVERY QB IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE, and Rees never did a single damn thing to help him out. I mean roll the pocket, call more QB runs, actually give the ball to Kendrick Law on the sweep.

Do you know who used to get the ball out the fastest of ANY QB in the ENTIRE NFL ? Tom Brady. Year in year out Tom Brady would have the ball out the fastest. Who won the most titles ? Tom Brady. Can any of you extrapolate anything from that without all the "butts" that Mr. Doe was talking about ?

If the opposing DC knows you cant get the ball to certain areas of the field you are much easier to defend, and you become easier to gameplan for.

IF the DC knows you are not likely to adjust away from pressure, or into a hot route that DC will eat your lunch, and we saw that play out ALL SEASON. How much data do you need to witness in real time ? You cant argue with the reality of actual results.

I created a thread about this after the game... "this is a pro style program, we need a pro style QB to get the ball to our pro style players." No "project QB's" need apply.

That's it. STFU with anything else. That's the entire problem in a nutshell. How could the 2020 season see us go in any direction other than that for the foreseeable future ? It was like watching the most purest form of football ever played at Alabama every Saturday. It was truly beautiful.

Last thought- analyst, and fans in attendance said all year receivers were running open, even after holding the ball longer than any other QB in the league Milroe could not see them.

For me this is on Saban. There are simply too many head-scratching bullshite things going on with our personnel and coordinators. Jam and Justice could have had an impact in this game, but weren't given the chance. Kendrick Law zero touches.

Milroe can be limited and still be the best QB on the roster

The WRs made a lot of progress this season. The rest of the offense did not.

Our offense was handicapped because of the processing speed of our QB.

Someone already mentioned he cannot process what is going on because the game appears to move to fast for him. This seems to be a mental issue on his part.

He has all this athletic ability and speed, but it does not help him. He also gets hyper focused on the play that is called but only looks at the first option. So, he focuses on what is getting called but cannot process now what is going on presnap like the obvious blitz coming. Once the snap happens, he has to commit to what he wants to do which prevents him from looking after the first option at WR or even checking down to the RB or TE because the play is in action and moving too fast for him to adjust. If so, that would contribute to his inability to process the pressure coming to utilize his speed and avoid the sack. It would also limit his vision to avoid pressure.

His holding onto the ball too long in my opinion comes down simply to his inability to process what is going on.

But if you and others want to place the whole blame elsewhere and pretend our OB had no issues that is a fantasy world, I do not reside in. I am not sure his inability to process at the speed the game requires can be fixed and any OC will be limited in what they can do.

Our offense was handicapped why was the worst offensive output the game he was benched against the worst team on the schedule? I’ve heard on this board all week that Rees can’t run his offense because milroe is limited. He had a whole game with two other quarterbacks and his offense still sucked. I would love for the Rees fanboys to please give me a logical explanation of

The two other quarterbacks had even less time to throw the ball than Milroe had against Texas. That shouldn't have happened against USF. Two possible reasons come to mind,the first is that Texas exposed our vulnerabilities on the OL, and we didn't get them fixed (we never totally did, in fact). The other, that I hate to consider, is that a portion of the team wanted Milroe at QB, and didn't give a full effort against USF. Another contributor to the poor showing is that neither Buchner or Simpson had enough practice reps to build timing with the receivers, Milroe had gotten the bulk of the Fall Camp snaps. Yet another reason is that Saban, in my opinion, treated the USF game as basically a scrimmage. We spent more effort trying to work on the passing game, which was an exercise in futility, than taking what was available.

Because he is not the reason. A failure to adapt the offense to a pure RPO to fit his skillset was.

And, god damn, how did we not have a center who couldn't snap the ball? fricked up timing on 100+ snaps.
