My question is, why is Nick Saban starting a guy who was supposedly suspended for having a bad attitude about being benched? It just doesn't seem like a very Nick Saban thing to do
Jalen Milroe is now the starter going forward.
- Thread starter JustNeedMe81
- Start date
Whew, if only our OL protected Milroe as much as some of our fans do…
Seriously, you’d think he was a “made man”. I’ve never seen anything like this.

I’ll admit I’m pretty ticked off about this.
But I’d also say I’m being realistic and not overreacting.
These guys on Offense are mentally weak and clique-y as hell.
Jalen can not read a defense. He just can’t.
This unit as a whole is not good enough to navigate an SEC schedule with a 1 dimensional 1 read turnover prone athlete at QB.
Especially when the OC is hellbent on making him read Defenses from the shotgun with 3-4 WRs and long developing routes.
I can’t believe this is an Alabama team under CNS.
What planet am I on??
He's playing a quarterback who will do a great job! You're second guessing the GOAT! LOL Did you put your application in for head coach yet?
Why would he transfer? He apparently owns this team.
Bama after Bryant, Penn State after Paterno, FSU after Bowden, Florida after Spurrier, USC after Pete, Nebraska after Osbourne, OU after Switzer. There is a trend.
He might be encouraged to transfer.............I'd probably encourage him to look around
Too late for that. That should have happened after last season.
That would require someone putting a little thought into things and coming up with something that might work under the circumstances. I haven’t seen any evidence of anything like that on offense since January of 2021.
That's exactly what we did when JM threw the second INT against UTw. We had 2 TEs, the RB and 5 OL in protection with 1 WR on each side of the field. perfect pocket and all the time in the world

Yeah, but at the end of this season it can still be done................along with some other players and some assistants
Like I said earlier, facts are irrelevant in this argument.
Unless he quickly realized his behavior was bad and apologized. I don't know if that's what happened but it does seem a bit unusual that a guy that supposedly was upset about not getting all the reps does a complete 180 and in just a few days is excited and congratulating a replacement.
Milroe really is fast as greased lightning. I hope Rees finds some way to take advantage of Milroe's strength.
Shame they didnt slide one of those TEs across the middle........but would he have been seen?
everything here is true except for the long developing routes thing. Rees called a lot of things that had quick options. A few times the snap sucked and messed up the timing. Many times, the read was there and JM didn't even attempt the throw. He just doesn't have, or trust that he has, the timing to hit those routes. The last INT was on a timing route and he was WAY late. On time and there's a good chance that's a completed pass...
I think that's why it seems it's mostly long balls. that's really JM's best/only passing tool. If we were truly playing joyless murderball in the run game well enough to draw more of the D into the box, that might work. Right now, defenses are going to show a loaded box to try to force passing, but have plans to bail out fast. Corners also likely playing a step deeper to not give up the deep pass.
Net, if we don't start truly running the ball very, very effectively, there isn't much the OC can do from a playcalling standpoint to mitigate our weaknesses.
