Idk how we could possibly know that.
Ty hasn't seriously pushed Milroe the last 2 years and Keelon is really skinny and might need time in the weight room before he can start.
Let's Talk Bama QBs - '25 Season
- Thread starter BamaMoon
- Start date
Ty hasn't seriously pushed Milroe the last 2 years and Keelon is really skinny and might need time in the weight room before he can start.
Plus can you all imagine going into Sanford Stadium and coming out with a win with Beck at QB. UGA fans would go nuts.
Dig it. Perception is such a beautiful creature until reality sets in. Beck just never impressed me. Simpson did not start over Milroe due to the "fools gold" that is his athletic ability but the guy is a coach's son and has a few years in the program. Mack knows what DeBoer wants to do and has been under his tutelage for a couple of years. Russell might be a Tua/Young talent. I just think we have what we need under center on campus right now and if we want to spend $5 mil then look for a left tackle somewhere.

Bold is conjecture. If Simpson was not clearly better in practice and it couldn’t win team and coaches over then that is not good. Lot of theories why no one jumped Milroe this year but we can take away that no one was clearly better enough to win over team.
obviously Beck is not worth significant money for Bama this year but if he wants to come on the cheap absolutely better take him and compete. No promises to start or anything stupid like that but you know what he is and you can redshirt the freshman. If Simpson or Mack ends up better then good let loser of competition leave and of spring.
Perfect world is that Ty totally plays lights out next year. Wins games going away so that KR gets solid time in games to grow. Ty does so well he's a round 1 pick and KR gets the job in 26.
Welp, everything at the football building is conjecture really. I mean, did Milroe keep the team together when Nick left? Does Milroe have a LANK hand in everyone's pocket on the team? I think Jalen got the job because of his leadership (he really is a golden individual), as the incumbent starter from the previous year (took us to the semi finals) and the staff was all in on his athletic ability. Ty was the backup and just did not do enough to take the job (especially when adding up all those other conjecture points). I just think we have 3 dudes in the building better than Beck and money needs to be spent in the trenches.
I think Ty is the classic “the backup quarterback is the best quarterback on the team” guy. I just don’t buy the fact that Ty was clearly better than Milroe like many others do. I do think he is a far better passer than Milroe but what seriously worries me is that in Spring of 2023, Ty was far more concerned about throwing deep balls in the scrimmage because Milroe was trying to showcase his arm strength over his accuracy. When Ty probably wins the job just by making the right check downs and reads. I just don’t see him as a slam dunk
If Beck is interested in Alabama, then you take him. He is a proven quarterback and he will have a lot of weapons at his disposal. Plus it gives you one year in deciding between Mack and Russell over potential two years of being behind Ty. I think Beck choosing Georgia probably hurt him more than what many wish to believe.
I want Ty to succeed because he seems like a guy who “does it the right way” in an era where that simply doesn’t happen. However, Beck is clearly the more proven commodity, and if he chooses Bama, so be it.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m hoping Ty has a great year and shows us the wait was worth it, but at the same time I don’t see this in the same situation as Mac where he was actually pushing Tua in 2019 in practices. I think if Beck were to come in then it would be a clear indication that the staff isn’t high on Ty and is more wanting a proven guy to bridge us to the Russell or Mack era.
Beck is probably going to Miami or staying at UGA but if CKD were to bring him in I’d be done.
That’s not how things should be done imo.
I know it’s already other teams mo but I still don’t like it.

I would hope *if* the staff thought they needed to get someone out of the portal they would have advised Ty to see options in the portal.
But because Ty is still here they have to have assured him that they believe he is the guy going into spring practice.
Imo we have wasted enough of Ty’s eligibility as it stands already without falsely stringing him on on top of everything else he’s had to deal with because of Lank.
yeah, completely different situation versus 2019. With Mac and Tua, no WRs were going to the coaches and advocating that Mac start. With NILroe and TS, there was a group of WRs going to CKD, complaining about NILroe and advocating for TS to be the guy because, at least in their eyes with what they experienced in practice, TS was the better option.
I like that KR has said publicly numerous times he has the intention of coming to T-town and starting. It also concerns me to some degree that he will not be patient if he were not to be chosen as the starter and will take the millions he will inevitably be offered in the portal as soon as the season ends (or even before). KR is a super talent but he also had super talented WR's to throw to. His stats are gaudy but he wasn't dinking and dunking to Lil Timmy from across the street. There will inevitably be some growing pains when he jumps into the big leagues of major CFB.
Me personally, if it is even close as to who should start, I would hope CKD chooses KR. I appreciate and respect TS for being patient and doing things the right way but this isn't a charitable organization we are talking about. If he shows he is competent and has the ability to be the guy, then by all means. I just can't jump on the TS train until I see further proof of what the future looks like with him behind center. I'd rather take my lumps with KR and grow this team around a major talent that will eventually mature into a superstar than potentially lose him and start back from scratch if the gap is minimal. KR's ceiling is higher and he has that 'IT' factor that you are looking for at QB.
At this point its hard to really get behind any player at any time at any position in CFB. Loyalty is gone. Money is all that matters. I like KR but that's about as far as my allegiance goes until I see he is in Crimson and he is committed to being in Crimson for more than one year. We are in an abysmal era of rent-a-player and it doesn't give anyone the warm and fuzzies.

Listen Beck is not coming to Bama! Don't care where he goes, as far as KR's comments, I like that in a QB, you gotta have confidence and a little moxey about you, as far as Ty there's been some post on here that they just don't believe he's the guy because he couldn't beat out Milroe, people who have half a brain know why Milroe started, but don't sleep on Ty he will be very good at Bama, he's a coaches son and they usually get it
There was a comment earlier on the great season Beck had in 2023. Brock Bower's alone had over 700 receiving yards. They did look awesome at times with the receiving threats he had on the field. This year he has struggled. Why isn't he worth more money to Georgia than anywhere else given his knowledge of the system and the fact they do not have a QB in waiting named Manning?
New poster here. I've been reading these boards for many years but never really felt the need to post - just absorb all the great news and opinions. Thank you to everyone.
I honestly think Ty was not allowed to start because of some LANK junk, no matter how good he was. To me there is no other reasonable explanation as to why DeBoer never pulled Milroe.
Welcome to the board. Good take as I feel the same way.
I thought the reports coming out of the fall scrimmages in 2024 was that Ty was operating the offense very good and milroe was struggling with blitz packages where Ty was having success against them. If I recall wommack had to reign in the blitz packages because milroe was struggling.
Edited to add that it was also reported the 2nd string receivers had a big drop off and any QB with them was handicapped compared to the 1st team receivers.

I think it will be Ty, but I don't care so long as it's a fair and open competition
