How can this even be a conclusion to come to when he's barely had any playing time where he's been allowed to throw the ball.
He's probably thrown an equal amount of Short, Mid Range, and Deep passes in an extremely small sample and never with any group but 2nd and 3rd string.
Other than the pretty spiral part you are describing Milroe and not Ty.
Milroe is one of the most reckless QB's I have ever seen.
He's fumbled the ball a LOT and will thrown INT's right to the other team like he can't even see the defender.
Tbh No One has seen enough of Ty to make a definitive judgement. The kid has not been given one single fair shot at playing with the 1st string.
He threw an absolute duck against WKU in the opener that was picked off but overturned by a penalty.
The throw last week to Cuevas after evading the sack was also an absolute duck that should have been picked and almost certainly would have against an SEC defense.
I remember at least a couple more throws in a couple of spring games that were just atrocious and clearly trying to force something. Can’t recall if they were actually picked or not.
He makes check downs sometimes and hits nice quick throws. So does Milroe. Neither guy does it all that consistently. Milroe has evaded pressure and made nice throws at times over the last couple of years, just not consistently. Ty seems to have some of the same issues feeling pressure in the pocket.
A couple of credible posters on this board have talked about Simpson having these issues consistently in practice. These same posters have said that both Simpson and Milroe were basically encouraged to portal out after the spring of 2023. We brought in Buchner after last spring.
I’m not saying Milroe is an elite QB. I’m saying that the evidence suggests that Ty is not any better. Not trying to rag on Ty. I think we are basing things on Milroe looking bad and assuming the next guy up is better because of recruiting hype. DeBoer’s choices this season were to (a) go with the well-liked veteran team leader; (b) play the backup who may not be appreciably better and has a similar overall skill set, or (c) play a really young guy who might be a better fit for the system but the inexperience will likely rear its head in ugly ways. I think DeBoer made the right choice and probably the best one he could. Milroe is very much a square peg to the round hole in DeBoer’s offense, but I’d argue you have a lot of the same issues with Ty.
