Bad QB play affected many units tonight
- Thread starter theballguy

Milroe owns his share of the blame no doubt, but if anyone couldn't see the offensive line problems from botched snaps, getting caved in play after after play blowing the play up before it even started, then you've already made your mind up to blame Milroe for every wrong doing on offense. Bryce Young, Tua, Jones and definitely college version Hurts, would have gotten killed last night. Our offensive line turned into a joke last night getting physically beaten all night. That, in some sense, is a greater concern to me than the QB position.
Maybe the staff realized that we are not a joyless murderball yet and the receiver are more well suited for separation and long passes which is why Milroe holding on to the QB job
I wouldn't want to be an OL trying to block for Milroe. You have to know where the QB is to block for him.
How the Oline blocked we are not suited for any style of offense. They were getting pressure with three and four linemen. Right now, the most devastating fracture we have on offense is the Oline, not the QB. We can't even begin to run an offense consistently with the clown show the Oline put on last night.
Yes, I think Buchner needs a shot and the QB position needs to be wide open. But let's not kid ourselves, we cannot expect any sustained success from any quarterback with the Oline playing like last night. They ought to be ashamed of their performance.
I’m still struggling with this: If Milroe is the best QB on the team, that means we have three more highly recruited guys on the bench that are worse than he is. That’s incredible.
And many games from the year before as well. The OL play last few years has been atrocious.
Half of the OL problem is the dumb scheme we are running on a lot of plays. I saw several times where the RT would team with the RG to block an interior DL on a pass play and leave an undersized TE to block the DE. It didn't go well to say the least. Just stupid stupid stupid scheme. Or the RT doesn't know his assignment. Either way it is coaching or lack thereof.
Naw, lions share of the Oline problems came between tackles, the Murphy guy or whoever it was for Texas playing the interior DL got penetration just about every play. The right guard consistently got manhandled or beat off the snap. Utter crap performance by the OL
was afraid of our center holding up to their mammoth NT and looked they collapsed pocket
This is where I land on it too. We can point fingers at everyone from the head coach to the grounds crew, but if you watched the game, it was blatantly obvious where the most glaring opportunity for improvement is.
It is what it is.
It is what it is.
To state that this coaching staff has been “suckered” relative to who should play QB is straight up ridiculous.
Texas was getting to Milroe all night with 3-4 rushers
All I heard in off season was getting back to the Bama standard. This through game 2 has failed. Can’t run or throw the ball consistently. The defense gave up way too many 3rd downs and long balls. Frustrating to watch

I had high hopes for Milroe. He is an amazing athlete. He makes some prolific plays but then morphs into a hesitant and confused turnover machine. With him as the starting QB Bama is essentially playing "Russian Roulette." Last night we spun the chamber and lost. Maybe in time he will clean up his errors and become consistent. How many games will Bama lose in the process? Right now I would take a "game manager."
QB and OL issues contributed big time to the loss but our pressure on their QB was non-existent. 0 sacks and 3 hurries. Dude did not even need to have his jersey washed. Ewers was playing 7-on-7.
The problem with this take is the QB vs OL is sort of a circular argument. A QB who can hit slants and intermediate throws behind the LBs prevent the DL from just crashing the line. The QB gets it out faster, the OL doesn't look so bad. But, if a OL doesn't give the QB time - the QB can't make throws. Chicken or the egg. I say it's both, and when it's both, like last night, it looks exponentially worse.
I do think if you put Buchner or Simpson back there last night the OL would have looked a little better after a couple of series after the QBs hit a few quick hitters and backed everyone off.

Is there any other team in the SEC West where Milroe currently could start? I don't think there is.
That's who Milroe is, he's Nick Marshall. There was a thread last week about who he reminds you of, and it's Nick Marshall. The only difference is that Auburn ran an offense that played to his strengths, and we are not, and have no offensive identity currently. It certainly isn't pounding it on the ground with our runningbacks.I was thinking that Saba was going to put in another QB, but then he threw that TD so how could he pull him after that?
Milroe honestly reminds me of that awbern QB that got them to the NC game against FSU. Can't remember his name, but he would chuck the ball up and the receivers would just somehow get that ball no matter what...
Milroe 's ball placement (accuracy) and shot selection are frankly...not good.
I don't know what happens at the QB position going forward, but we won't win many games running the game plan we had last night with Milroe at QB. Either make a change at the position, or make a change of the offensive scheme. Though I don't have a ton of faith right now that either option is going to work.
