I'm in the Rees and Milroe both weren't good camp, but Rees is the one paid to make adjustments and figure out a way to use the skillset of the players he has and he did not do that... at all.


Same here.

I will say that Milroe is also very well paid for a skill set that he did not deliver.

Milroes skill set consisted of chunking the ball deep. Hard to gameplan around that. I am still looking for all this athleticism he supposedly has but haven’t seen it. I guess that just means that he has good top end speed. Not quick.

A lot of times he would look like new born giraffe when taking off to run like when he fumbled in the last game.

He plays with blinders on. Intermediate game is horrible, can’t see the RB’s in the flats and at times honestly looked a little scared to run.

When you are told this is going to be your QB, exactly how do you game plan with this? Reminder, I think Rees is an awful hire. May have been a good OC at Bama 14 years ago however he was in high school then.

Saban’s handling of the QB situation from spring to fall and allowing Buchner to come in(huge mistake) is as much to blame as anything.

Question is what does Saban have the balls to do now? He absolutely will not fire Rees and Milroe will be the starter lest there be another ‘team’ revolt.

Nailed it . I have yet to see all this "athleticism". Not quick, not shifty, inaccurate arm, etc. His deep ball game was decent early in the year but he's missed a bunch and wayyy off target on several. Several were under thrown and he got lucky to get pass interference. It's the same situation with hurts where I would literally cringe every time he dropped back. He's been in the system long enough that he's closer to his ceiling. Bryce easily wins the championship this year with the defense. Rees likely isn't very good either even with being handicapped. He knew what Milton was and should have ran the ball a ton more

Not for the opposing defensive coordinator it's not.

That's why we were in a dog fight with every team we played not matter the talent including South fricking Florida hahahahaha

Yeah, that notion needs to go away. He was the least mobile QB in the playoff after including the 100 yards of sacks.

"I came here to throw the ball" is exactly what he said in his Rose Bowl interview. It's what he has said all season. He puts his own desire to be viewed as a pocket passer ahead of what the team needed him to do ALL SEASON to win.

When I realized we couldn't get him to stop dancing around in the pocket taking one sack after the other instead of running the ball that's when he really lost me.

I hope someone beats him out, but we all know it's not possible even if Tua came back to use his last year of eligibility Milroe is Sabans guy now no matter the frick what. Tua would be handing out Gatorade and holding a clipboard.
