Does the majority really think Milroe is our guy?
If he proves it on the field then I’ll eat my shorts.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

I fully believe he can be. And if he were to play closer to his potential, he’d be lights out. Will he? We will find out over the course of the next month or so.

Based on last year and spring, No. New system plus vast improvement since A Day, maybe. He will have his chance to win the job. Hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

 

[JoshB]

Not at all.

We can't do that. The first is a non-sequitur, the second is judging a guy that's limited in everything he does.

Milroe

 

[BAMAneck]

I believe he’ll have every opportunity to prove he is or is not the starter just like Blake had. But I believe that Milroe has a better shot cause this offense is more catered to his skill set. Blake had to prove he could stay in the pocket and distribute the ball. Milroe may only be asked to make 1 or 2 reads at most .

I’m excited to see if the off-season has done him any favors with his extra work. I’m pulling for him. If it does prove to much for him , that will be that. But he shouldn’t sulk he should look at Jalen and grind till his time comes. You only need a short time to prove yourself..

I'll bet ya people complain about him holding the ball too long just like they did Greg. And he does.

I wonder just how many times a game they will have him stationary back there compared to moving if that’s the case. I’m wonder if the pistol will be our base or the zone read. Does anyone in the know , know?

 

[BAMAneck]

I halfway expected to see a game like when AJ and Phillip Sims battled for the job.

 

[24and7]

Maybe Milroe is better than we think..

 

[Bama Guy]

I am hoping he's the guy. BUT, what he is lacking does not come naturally. Seeing the field, anticipation, reading progressions, etc. If the position was based simply on athletic ability, he's a stud!

Carrying the ball with one hand as he scrambles….I know it can be corrected but he’s going to have to “show” us it has.

 

[OldPlayer]

He is until he shows CNS, and us, he isn’t. MTSU will be a game of experimentation. I expect to see Milroe, Simpson and Buchner play in significant situations.

 

[Tidestalker]

If he is using his legs as an aggressive & efficient weapon, he's going to cause real problems. Eventually his reads will have to evolve and catch up, but early on, I expect this dude to run a muck on defenses.

 

[UAgrad93]

As @Brandon Van de Graaff said, he can be! I truly believe that this offense may be more beneficial and will utilize his talents better than what the previous play caller would’ve used. Rees may be more QB developer than just play caller.

 

[bamatommy]

I don’t think he will be the starter at the end of the season.

 

[Rolltide24]

Buchner was 1-2 last year as a starter for ND. Sophomore year. 3 TD’s to 5 INT’s. Didn’t win starting job for the season. Moves with his OC to Tuscaloosa. I’ll buy in once he’s proven something, but I’m not ready yet to put money on his success and potential to lead us to the promise land.

 

[alabama mike]

Gonna find out in a few minutes. He may start tonight but will he continue to start? Only time will tell.

Milroe had a heck of a game
