Colbysullivan (was right about Jalen Milroe)

Not really interested in those topics, I'm more of a sports guy

Well, if you ever had gone to NS, you would’ve understood the joke I assume @AWRTR was making…

What was the final result of that play in the iron bowl..the quote you're referencing me on ? Who threw it ...was it a win? ....As I've said give criticism where warranted and give credit where due. Your quote "we've won despite not because" ..feel free to elaborate where I'm wrong with crediting the young man with a perfect throw in an iron bowl?

I think he’s saying that if it hadn’t been for atrocious QB play the rest of the game, we would have won easily and wouldn’t have needed a miracle play at the end to win it.

I understand that but if he had not completed the pass, there would have been a loss...just like the Georgia game in the National Championship. I'm going to give Milroe his credit just like Tua. Nothing more, nothing less...but I'm sure all of us were jumping for joy when that pass was completed , every game is not a 4th quarter beat down by Bama ..sometimes things don't go your way the entire game but miracles have been needed in many games of all sports.

Glad someone got the joke. I knew a few in the thread would grab on.

No doubt perfect throw perfect route by bond and great catch.

What is frustrating is that when Milroe filled in for Bryce Young in 2022, it was pretty clear then that Jalen did not have the skill set or mechanics to be a starting QB for a team like Bama. Even had an OC state that Milroe was not a QB. Yet Saban rolled the dice with Jalen in 2023, probably thinking he would turn out to be the next Deshawn Watson or Johnny Manzel, and he never showed signs he was getting better with his mechanics or skill set to be the starting QB. Saban could have chosen any other QB on the roster to be the starter, and we would probably be in better shape than we are now. Here we are two plus years later and have no clue who will even be here next year to compete for the starting QB position. As long as it is not Milroe, I don't care who it is. Just get rid of all the LANK players, and hopefully CKD can start running his system.

I'll also add that I've had my fair share of criticisms of him but when you say "we've won despite not because of him"..I remember him throwing an Ace of a bomb to Bond in the iron bowl to win that one. He's won some and he's lost some

We were only in that position because of how bad Milroe played all game long.

Saban made a huge error of judgement in that

Imo this is one case where giving saban total control over football might not have been the best route.

The last two wins at Auburn is karma for all the times they pulled rabbits from the hat to win.
