Milroe's accuracy

[RammerJammer14]

Tua's accuracy can not be denied. I visited a few practices and saw him do things that I have never seen before in terms of throwing the football with pin point consistency. His only issue was he sometimes held on to the ball too long waiting for someone to break open and it cost him. He is doing the same thing in the NFL and it has almost cost him his career. Hopefully he fixes it before it is too late.

Ultimately cost him his final year at Bama and a title in 2019. Both times he got hurt that season were totally unnecessary and self inflicted.

Every one acts like we didn't have a great team last year with 2 lockdown corners. 1 taken in first other high second. 1 st round d-end the other high second round. A first round offensive tackle. We won last year despite milroe not because of him. When you have 2 great corners it limits everything add a pass rush and your dominate on defense. Not 2010 dominate but for today's game your start way ahead with those guys on defense.

No one brings it up but not sure if Seth has had a bad snap all year. He went to the one school that is literally buying a team to win this year all in and they wanted him. They must have known something wasnt right. Not the rose bowl but after a game last year I heard Milroe say the bad snaps were on him at the time I thought good teammate taking up for your center but the more I see the more I wonder.

Run game we have Booker Proctor and brailsford if we go left you think with 3 that will be all Americans eventually that we can pick up 4 yards when we need them but we can't. Jam and justice not good backs? I think it's so things going on offensively that we can't get that. Educated guess it's something with milroe tendency and keys giving certain things away to the opposing defense. The naked eye can see he can't run a option he just guesses. He stares down wr most of the time. I'm sure a defensive coordinator and a team of analysts our all over what we are doing on offense every week.

Anyone watch Lagway a true freshman run the option yesterday? Anyone wonder how he can make better reads when to keep and give vs our junior multi year starter?

So much smoke but never a fire I guess.

Since you brought up Lagway.

It is painful to watch him as a true freshman work the pocket like 5th year senior when JM looks like he's still in HS, literally.

I'm not even talking about his arm, which Lagway is far advanced, but I'm JUST talking footwork.

It's been pointed out that much of JM accuracy issues goes back to footwork. So, yeah, it's really frustrating.

Mac's offense was almost a mirror image of LSU's offense when Burrow was at the helm. Both teams were almost unstoppable. It really was a sight to see...

But would we even be using that LSU offense as a landmark if Tua stays healthy that year? That Bama team was just as loaded as LSU was, if we win that LSU game and go on to win the title, a lot of the times people compare to 2019 LSU, they'd be comparing to 2019 Bama instead. I've said it many times on this board that if Tua is 100% healthy that day against LSU (completed 50% of his passes instead of his normal 71.4%), we more than likely win that game. Or even if he had sat out against State, we'd likely have gotten a rematch. Anyways, my point is that Alabama offense (when Tua was healthy) was every bit as good as both of those offenses, but nobody remembers a 10-2 team

Tua is the most accurate college QB that i have ever seen. Mac had the advantage of playing in the best offense ever at Alabama. But, injuries aside, I would take Tua over any other college QB - ever.

It’s a tough call for me.

I feel like Mac is a lot better than we remember because of his NFL struggles.

But he may be the best Overall and Complete QB that Alabama has ever had.

I want to say he was a bit better than Tua post snap wrt to reading coverages and he was better manipulating the pocket to extend time and also not get hurt.

He threw some absolute lasers down field too. Mac was VERY accurate at all levels of the field.

Tua was a Master at throwing guys open and to your point he could thread a needle that’s for sure.

Both also had excellent Deep Ball accuracy.

It’s just such a close comparison.

They are hands down the 2 Best I’ve seen wearing crimson.

Outside of Bama Joe Burrow was incredible.

It seems to me that collectively remembering Bryce was much more accurate than JM. Go back and look. Bryce was guilty of over throwing many wide open receivers. It was Mac who was the most accurate in the game dropping dimes.

Love Bryce but he had a terrible Deep Ball in relation to the rest of his skills.

Mac and Tua were both Outstanding Deep Throwers.

17 minutes of Mac Jones TDs.

Perfect. Product. Placement.

Tom Brady over/underthrew receivers at times, too, but you wouldn't trade him for Flaco............
Bryce Young could read a defense pre and post snap, made much quicker decisions.
No qb throws at a 100% clip.

That 2018 title game was such a massive disappointment. Waste of a generational QB

One of the worst offensive plans ever against Georgia and then Clemson. Two offensive coordinators cost CNS two additional National Championships.

 

[Padreruf]

As I watched him against LSU I marveled at his improvement in the off week. He threw on time and with accuracy.

What is more there were plays designed for him to run -- with a RB leading him through the hole and he would just take off. At least 2 of his TD's were designed runs. I was greatly impressed.

Someone got to his head and helped him see that he could be BOTH a running and throwing QB. If he keeps doing this then the sky is the limit for this offense.

He was off on the deep ball, if he could ever play within the system like he did Saturday and hit those deep shots we’d be unstoppable.

i imagine that long shot to williams is caught on a dry day

No doubt those rain bombs had a hand in his accuracy on the deep passes.

Let’s not overlook the swings and screens that were better this game. With Milroe gashing between the tackles the backers have to respect that and stay closer to the box, which helps those passes get more yardage.

As long as he’s focused on moving the ball forward and not always trying to get the home run, I think he can keep improving.

i loved how we were using the rbs out of the backfield. that is deadly.

It was a strange offensive performance. Our leading rusher was the QB. Our leading receiver was the TB.

 

[BamaInCummingGA]

If JM can keep making decisions like he did last Saturday on a consistent basis we'll be in good shape.
He did a really good job last Saturday.

It honestly looked like the same gameplay we had against LSU last year. And same one against UGA last year.

Now just hear me out...

I say we give this guy a little more time to get going.

 

[BamaMoon]

We've seen these games before.

His next step is to NOT take a step back.

Keep improving.

What have you done for me lately is the landscape forums, social media, talking heads on YouTube and ESPN, etc has created. JM obviously had a great game Saturday. Now is not the time to rest on his success but to use it as a trampoline to have us firing on all cylinders heading into the playoffs. With all that being said, the play calling Saturday was exceptional. Coach Sheridan accentuated the strengths that he has on that side of the ball, particularly with JM, and didn't try to take advantage of things that schematically may have been there but would have been extremely difficult to execute due to our skillset. Hopefully he has found his sweet spot with the weapons we have and JM is starting to get comfortable as well. When CNS and JM are on the same page, only good things will happen.
