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.
