Jalen was fricking terrible. I along with all of you are so glad he is gone. Truly the worst QB since Avalos and Pennington no questions asked. But was the biggest problem him or the OL?

Jalen is gone. It doesn’t need to be discussed any longer at least knocking him. The OL was a combination of issues. Need to be in better shape. QB needs to help cal protection better or it would be nice to have a Barret Jones who was so smart he could line everyone up in the proper protection. I don’t know if coaching is an issue. The same guys that struggled have struggled under different OL coaches. So did the staff misevaluate the OT position? I don’t know the answers.

OL was average. It wasn't bad. Jalens inability to read pressure and fix his protection and him getting antsy and bailing early at times made it look terrible.
I promise you 95%of our offensive problems walked out the door with Jalen

When we attach that word to a quarterback, then the question is answered.
Jalen Milroe was so goddamn bad at his job, it colored every single aspect of the offense, including play calling. We would see folks bitch about how we weren't playing to Milroe's strengths and at times maybe that was true, but when a quarterback is as bad as he is, how can you really know? His execution devolved to pure fricking garbage, and the few things he did well, he only did every once in a while.
How could anyone possibly criticize our offensive staff, when they're burdened with the likes of Jalen Milroe? There's no building an offense around that guy.
Anyway, frick him and the millions he didn't earn. I'm relieved this abysmal Milroe era is over.

The interior of the offensive line was decent. The tackles were terrible. Maybe the worst in the SEC. They're both fat, out of shape, and slow. They both consistently get beat by decent speed rush ends and can only be effective with a TE lining up with them or getting a chip block from a RB to help them.
They both need to get better or get gone. Or at least lose their starting jobs. On an A to F scale, they both get an F- for their performance this year. It's like Chris Capps 2.0.
Frankly, other than Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard and Railsford, I hope the entire offense is told they all need to fight for the starting jobs.

frick that.
I'm "knocking" that worthless, filthy rich professional football player every time someone brings him up. He's a steamy, Walmart parking lot shite diaper of a quarterback, and under this "new system", I'm perfectly fine with pointing it out.
I could get used to this new player/fan dynamic. They want their money, their millions, their right to transfer whenever they want? Fine, take it. But now I get to shite all over them, just as I would any professional athlete in any sport that doesn't do his fricking job, yet still reaps the benefits.
These aren't kids. They're grown men now, earning a grown man's salary, and I plan to treat them as such.
Jalen Milroe, his millions and his shitty football playing can hit the fricking bricks.
Oh, and good morning.

Yep. This is the issue. He didn’t care about playing winning football for Alabama. It was all about the money. I’m celebrating the fact that we will have an actual quarterback in 2025 and flush all the drama that we had to endure over the last two seasons.

It never got to its ceiling, but there were by all accounts serious nagging injuries to Proctor, Pritchett and Roberts the entire season.
When 60% of the line is playing hurt and the QB can’t throw a hot route, read a defender on a read option or adjust a coverage it’s not going to result in a dominant line.
2024 was a lost year offensively. Unfortunately due to the situation at QB and the injuries we won’t know what we have until we have a new QB and a couple games to see what the situation is at OL next year.
I was ecstatic for the bowl game just to see Simpson and Mack run the offense for that reason and frankly my anger at Milroe was not just that we lost to a Michigan program I despise, but that now setting any expectations around next years offense is basically impossible until the games start.
We don’t know if we have an effective QB.
We don’t know the system.
We don’t know the effectiveness of the line.
We don’t know if the WR unit will be fixed by better reads.
All of that is down to one player.

The OL being terrible was egregious. You simply cannot have that amount of talent at the position and it suck. QB play can be up and down, it relies on others, and Jalen clearly has some limitations and was a HUGE factor in why we lost some games.
But the OL is more important, and it was worse and has less excuses for being worse. You can change a QB overnight. The OL is and will remain the biggest issue facing this team and it made life fricking hell for the offense.
A dominant OL sees Milroe being a very dangerous college QB. A terrible OL can ruin an entire gameplan and even season.

OL looks a lot better if #4 gets rid of the ball in under 3 mins.

I don't know what ppsy is, but I'm sure it doesn't translate to good football.

You put Milroe behind the 2009, 2012, 2015, or 2020 OL and few would be bitching about him…since 2020, our OL has been average at best and subpar otherwise. Looking back, Bryce Young covered up many of Bama’s OL issues, to include some snapping issues and a lot of pass blocking issues; Bryce Young got sacked a lot in his two years as a starter and hit even more. Had Young had the OL’s mentioned above, we’d have two more natties…
It’s obvious Milroe was nowhere near Bryce’s league as a QB when it comes to reading defenses and going thru progressions, not many of our QBs have been. But the OLs mentioned above could’ve masked at least some of his issues…
While I think it’s time for a change, all this talk about him being our worst QB ever is pure BS. The dude was undefeated against LSU (outdueling Jayden Daniels in 2023), undefeated against Auburn (got revenge on the 10th anniversary of the Kick Six), and undefeated against UGA (winning the SECCG, preventing them for a likely threepeat); Kirby, Kelly, and Hugh couldn’t figure him out even though several in the conference apparently did...
He was pretty bad in a few games…but I’ll remember him for the games mentioned above more than those, in addition to him keeping the team together after Saban retired. And I’ll never forget the look on the stunned faces of the AU fans in Jordan-Hare after 4th and 31, absolutely priceless…
My prediction is that if the OL is subpar again next year, most will be blaming them instead of Simpson (or whoever the QB is)…

Yeah we were reminded of it all season. He's our very own child star.

The play vs Michigan where Milroe got like 10 seconds to throw the ball and still got sacked was emblematic of the season.
I know he didn't always get that much time, but the play proved that no matter how great the o-line played, Milroe was going to frick it up. How does a qb not find a WR on that play or at least throw it away?

I agree with this whole-heartedly.

Bryce doesn't have a natty because Metchie and Jamo got hurt in the SECCG and NCG. Period. And it still took uga a 4th qtr comeback to beat him without them. O-line was fine in 2021.

Watch the last play . As soon as he dropped back with feet parallel to the LOS and looking at the rush , I knew the play had no chance
