Hmm... Do we now have a QB controversy?

It was really refreshing to see a guy checking us out of the wrong plays into the right ones and with that kind of crowd noise, it was even more impressive!!!

Never saw anything close to that last year.

Which begs the question...No, no use to go there again!
And actually going through the progressions and making the right reads!

That’s partially true depending on the time frame.

#4 had enough support and benefit of the doubt going into the season in ‘24.

But when the wheels came off starting with Tenn you could visibly see how upset the WRs were getting and it continued vs OU and Mich.

Very similar to how the WRs reacted around the Miss St game in 2017.

They wanted the switch to Tua

Late last year players wanted the switch to Ty.
And whomst did Burton have throw to him at pro day? Twas not the Nilroe

We also lost a lot of WR talent after 4s first season starting as well as some other key offensive personnel. To call the locker room divided during the 23 and 24 season would be an all time understatement.

Ty only had a 63.1% completion in the Georgia game. But a closer look shows 0 ints and 0 sacks. And still managed a QBR of 90.1. Gunner Stockton only had a 78.6 QBR. Ty showed great poise, and was in control of the offense in a major hostile stadium environment. He's one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC, if not in all of CFB. And the talking sports heads have noticed.
There were three times I recall herby commented , the DB got there before the ball , maybe that should have been called. If those three + DPI’s were called, or the DB didn’t interfere , Ty’s percentage would have been a little higher.

This can’t be overstated
it’s Ty’s demeanor , this is his team! And he remained calm in the deafening moments backed up on the goal line. The offensive line fed off that and I think we only had 1 false start in the game, and that wasn’t at a critical juncture of the game like so many times in the past.

I agree with everything you said.

I will say that Jalen Hurts was never as bad on his worst day as Jalen Milroe. They were kind of opposites. Jalen Hurts was seldom reckless with the ball. In fact his problem was that he got so conservative that he wouldn’t throw the ball at all. But he never got flustered and started throwing pick sixes.

The move to Tua was necessary, but I’d take Hurts over Milroe any day,

Simpson is really, really good. Helps that he is seasoned and a coaches son. Most of all, he is a humble kid with talent...that can see the field. We can be special on offense with him this year if we can stay healthy on the O line.
