Actually feel like Milroe was good for the Tide late in the season.  He had a bad day against a great defense.  Bama could have easily won the game

I’m telling you, as a Bama fan, Milroe just doesn’t instill the confidence of heir recent QBs, and that’s because he is not a great passer. Take the deep ball away from him, and he has trouble. Michigan did that well today and won. 

On the other hand, Bama’s D was awful today when the game was on the line. How many times can you get beat by the crossing routes that leave a guy in the flats?

Yeah, I don't put a ton of the weight of the loss on Milroe. Their OL struggled mightily in pass protection and he was a big part of their running attack. If hey didn't have a mobile QB tonight they would've been fuged.

If they had a QB who could make, and throw to, hot reads, they would have won. Milroe does not do that well at all.

I agree he wasn’t anywhere near Bryce Young but Young is one of Bama best QBs ever…right?  Can’t have one of those every season unfortunately

I’m not just talking Bryce though. Jalen Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, Bryce…Bama fans trusted that they were going to make big plays when needed. It’s not the same feeling with Jalen Milroe.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
