Do you know what a rhetorical question is? I wonder because you obviously can’t recognize one.

Two these are not like the others.

Milroe is a happy footed tight end that can not read a defense, his first thought is to run and seldom has a second thought. The only position that was worse last year was the dude snapping the ball.

Except for him throwing for 2,834 yards, 23 TDs, 6 INTs, and ending the season with the 9th ranked QBR in the country, you are exactly right.

That’s pretty average these days, and that’s where I think Milroe is. A fairly average SEC qb. He also “led” Alabama to the # 70 passing offense in the nation last year

Look at the big brain on Bunk.

I think you’re starting to get it. Alabama didn’t win the SEC last year because of Milroe but he did play well enough, often enough, to help.

I never said he was a great QB or that his numbers are outstanding, but he’s certainly not what that poster described. I realize he was just vomiting shite from his pie hole and exaggerating, but I wasn’t going to let that go unchallenged.

Yeah. I disagree with those that say he’s horrible. Sometimes he’s good, sometimes not so good. He will sometimes follow one terrible play with a great play. I will stick with the very inconsistent.

To be fair Milroe's legs were apparently enough of a threat to give the UGA defensive staff a stroke

He …led us to an SECC last season and a playoff birth in his first season starting.

Good enough to make the playoffs.

Great deep ball.
Good elusiveness.

I don’t get why people don’t like him.

Deep ball + athleticism?

Sounds like a winning combination to me.

As another poster said, instead of trying to beat one defender to the left he ran straight into a pile of defenders.

That was one of the bad plays.

Inconsistent
