Jalen Milroe 1st Career Start at Alabama Best & Worst Plays vs Texas A&m 🏈

[@cletustrainer]

Dude has good potential. He executed slants really well. If he just felt the pressure in the pocket a little better nobody could complain. He'll be solid with more experience.

@@brodyabel7300 he's better than hurts at this stage... look at what he's doing in the NFL. 60% completion would get better as the line is getting better. throwing to all young WRs who also haven't met their potential. not to mention Avg. 8.5 yards per carry. dude is lightning in a bottle and needs to play. the plays he ran were from bryces offense, they weren't the best plays that best suited milroe. with a better coordinator he will pop off.

[@phillipcmiller99]

Imagine being a young QB expected to follow Tua Tag, Mac Jones, and Bryce Young as a passer? A formidable assignment to say the least. I think Milroe is a good QB whose passing skills and decision making will only improve with experience.

[@hcf1956]

Imagine knowing his shortcomings and put a cork in the banal pablum he was spewing after the game interview. ADMIT your shortcomings and committing yourself to overcoming them. All that trite ballyhoo Melrose needs to put a “cork in it.”

@@jrvbamafan1 Anyone WITH the talent can sit on the bench and come and dominate. You either have it or you don't. It doesn't matter who's the coach. Your opinion says he has it. My opinion says he doesn't. He will run because it's his strength. That's what he's good at. It will be easy to game plan against him. DC's will force him to throw long and challenge his throwing ability. This is not rocket science.

[@louieo.blevinsmusic4197]

@@hcf1956dang. I’ve never seen someone be so wrong about a kid before. Not only would be admit his shortcomings but overcame more adversity than any other starting QB under Nick Saban. Had no star WR or RB like every QB under Saban before him, as well as an o-line that was weak in pass protection on the left side and snapped around 5-8 fumbles on the season/dozens of bad snaps. He’d show his inexperience when playing Texas so sat against USF…..he’d go on to win the SEC (has an 11-0 record against SEC opponents) and come in 6th in the Heisman rankings despite all the doubt/scrutiny. He’s still doubted by fools despite making more progress in one season than any player I’ve ever seen. Edited: my bad, the next negative Nancy was easily worse than this.

I didn’t say anything because I realize you don’t know what you’re talking about.

[@natenunnally7883]

I think Milroe has the job next year. The only problem he had was turnovers, and once TexasAM learned he didn't hold the ball tight, they were literally punching it out of his hand by the end of the game. It's not like he kept getting stripped or he was careless. Either way Bama is gonna be a force to be reckoned with

[@haydenwatson8833]

When people talk about him they’re acting like he’ll have this many turnovers every game. If he doesn’t turn the ball over he’ll be so damn good. Especially with the right offensive scheme he’s more athletic than Lamar Jackson imo simply due to his weight

[@donnieforbes7820]

That is literally the biggest problem

[@A-Aron5151]

Man I hope he develops enough to keep the starting job It would suck to play against him What also Sucks is the amount of talent we have coming in at QB, even Simpson (who can sling it). But now with NIL, they won’t stay is they don’t play. That should be NIL motto “Don’t play, don’t stay”

[@jbm0866]

This is the truth, not even Bama can stack bluechip QB's in the age of NIL and the NFL only needing potential and one good season before they'll take a QB..often way to high for some of the borderline guys, but hey..get it if you can.

[@justinc622]

Man I love Milroe as a person, because he's a great man and a great athlete. But I just can't see him taking over the starting position next season. I don't want to be that guy, but he played awful today for much of the game. You could tell he was rattled and wanted to run first and pass second.

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Milroe has a tendency to be another Jalen Hurts. That is a compliment against most opponents but teams with good defenses will keep him at bay. Apply pressure and he wants to run. Defenses prepared for that will shut Alabamas defense down.

He didn’t take care of the ball and made a few bad throws, but I can see the potential this guy has if he can just work on the turnovers.

College world got to see Milrose’s inability to read the defense, and his inability to “pass” the ball. Milrose not recognizing the defense coverage…I don’t think he can transfer to another “top tier” college football program. Jalen Hurts, was given an opportunity to “develop”. Will Jalen Milrose allow his ego to accept his shortcomings and learn on the bench and in the classroom? Ty Simpson is by far the “better” passer. Alabama “needs” a QB who can pass the ball so they are not one dimensional.

You conveniently misstated they’re both freshmans Bluntly you’re speaking a “LIE”. Milrose is a “redshirt” freshman. Whereas, Ty Simpson is a “TRUE” freshman. Milrose got the BENEFIT of 1 year learning, assimilating, and acclamation. 1 year advantage of learning from coaching, film-room study, and learning from Bryce Young. YOU CONVENIENTLY IGNORED Milrose is a thrower NOT A PASSER. Ty Simpson is a. PASSER. MILROSE IS A PHYSICAL. MONSTER, a beast. That’s his advantage. However, the defense adapted and made him one dimensional. Simpson would in time make defenses defend all aspects of Alabama’s offensive capability, with his athleticism to run as well. Albeit, Milrose is better because of his enormous physical size and strength. BUT opponents will not have the luxury to scheme to stop just one facade of Ty Simpson’s game. SO CUT THE CRAP…AS YOU SAY. THIS IS A NO LYING ZONE.
