Jalen Milroe against LSU

Staff watched the Texas AM game and finally called a game to Milroe strengths… they do that more often and this is what we’ll get.
Plus the D is making strides putting him in favorable field position, which doesn’t hurt.
It could be a sign of things to come, and I for one am excited.

I think after the UGA game he starting hearing talking heads mentioning the 1st Round draft possibility. From that point on he's been trying audition by not being "just a running qb" and trying to show his passing ability...to the teams detriment. I think it may have clicked for him that he isn't a 1st rounder and will run when its there to just WIN...because we all know what he can do there. Fingers Crossed.

There is at least one NFL GM who will convince himself and his team owner that Anthony Richardson has failed because he isn't a hard worker and doesn't take football seriously (probably a fair criticism), but Milroe doesn't have those flaws so they can turn him into the monster the Colts thought Richardson could be. Might not take him in the first, but he's going to be a priority pick for someone. Whether you think that's stupid or not is another discussion, but I think it's pretty indisputable that the NFL puts a premium on that kind of athleticism at QB.

If he'll keep running like he did vs Lsu he is a 1st round pick. There's 1qb in the NFL that can do what he can do running. And Milroe throws a better deep ball than Lamar Jackson already.
