The 2nd one Mac threw was a fluke, and he was being tackled. Both of Milroe’s INTs had a clean pocket.No. And I didn't say that. The claim was that the 2 interceptions Milroe had were the ugliest ever. I pointed out that maybe the 2 pick sixes Mac had against Auburn were the ugliest.
Reading what some here are saying, one would think Simpson is the greatest quarterback ever in the history of Alabama football. He did ok. Just ok. He completed 5 of 9 passes. What...55%. He did not do anything great or special.
We were in danger of losing the game with Buchner. That was a legit possibility. Would we have won by 4 TDs if Milroe started? Yes, very likely. Would that have solved anything? Not at all. We might have found something with Simpson.
and it was impossible to tell on the broadcast because of the camera issues but I bet when they go back to look at the tape he had a bunch of guys open on most of the sacks he took. I’ll be very surprised if he gets the start this weekend. JM gives the team the best chance to win now. If we drop another one I think you definitely move to TS or DL or anybody but JM. Until then, I think it’s his team.
How can you honestly knock Simpson for taking sacks when Milroe has already shown us the exact same thing AND has a tendency to turn the ball over? This narrative that “Milroe gives us the best chance to win” is objectively wrong. He lost the Texas game.
That’s not the point. I don’t care how badly he beats scrub teams if he can’t read a real defense. No amount of coaching is going to suddenly make Milroe serviceable. The experiment failed. It’s time to move on.
Milroe 100% lost the Texas game. But do you honestly think Simpson would’ve won it? MTSU and USF are comparable opponents, who looked better? I also think the whole team is somewhat lost right now and going with JM will galvanize them. Going with TS, brings more doubt. I’m not saying JM is a better QB. Just think all things considered, he’s the best guy to go with right now. Also, I think Saban did everything he could to go with another starter. He knew his limitations. But after a long spring, bringing in TB, more fall reps. He couldn’t bring himself to go with anybody but JM to start the season. I think that’s telling.
Ty can pass the ball. Would we have beaten Texas with Ty? I don’t know. But I feel confident Ty would not have LOST the game.
They all get sacks, when the defense is blitzing on every play. But I do agree Milroe gives the offense the best chance going forward. Simpson is but a game manager. He's not going to keep up with the high powered offenses we'll face. Milroe is the best option.
I agree with that as well. For the record, I wanted JM benched after the Texas game too. I called on here for TB and TS to get all the reps against USF. Now that I watched them in game action I think JM gives us the best chance on Saturday.
This was Ty’s first real game action. Regardless of what we think about the quality of the opponent, Ty was asked to win a game on the road where our offense had done absolutely NOTHING the entire game. I didn’t see Ty as tentative at all. He made a couple good runs and some decisive throws. I’m telling you, Milroe and especially Buchner couldn’t have made those 2 big throws yesterday. Ty should have been the starter from the beginning but team politics prevented that.
I don’t disagree with anything you said but I think that last sentence is the important part. We’re talking about maximizing the teams performance. For whatever reason, the players seem to want JM over TS. If TS gets the start on Saturday I’m afraid he’ll be looking over his shoulder the whole game and play even more tentatively. The only thing that matters right now is winning on Saturday. This could get really ugly if we don’t. Milroe has won an SEC game before, he’s been in this fire. I know he’s not perfect but I’ve seen him do it. Give me that over the unknown every time.
I don’t know what y’all are watching, and not speaking on the game last night. Milroe only took 1 sack from a blitz. The rest were with 3 and 4 man rushes. If we can’t block 3 and 4 with 5 offensive lineman, we won’t win many games.
Had Sark or Kiffin been there then Milroe would have never started or been a thought on their mind. It’s why the Kiffin and Jalen Hurts year wasn’t really that great compared to the other two years kiffin was here.
