| FTBL "Regardless of pro readiness, there won’t be 10 guys at the combine who, pound for pound, test better overall than Milroe."

I can't imagine what a GM sees in Milroe that transfers to the league. He is just awful.

You've been around enough to realize what scouts and GM's will see in Milroe. And, you, they, we all know he's isn't awful.

3- Some people are equating a high draft selection with guaranteed NFL success, which isn't the case at all. But they think the 2 are married.

I think we have a number of situations in play here... Here's 3 of them, IMO...

1- Fans think he sucks, they don't like him, and they are wishcasting that he doesn't get drafted because that will make them feel good.

2- Fans think he sucks, are mostly indifferent on him, but they've been talking openly for a while to everyone about how much he sucks. And seeing him get drafted early would undercut that line of thought that they are dug into. They are scared they are gonna look foolish.

3- Some people are equating a high draft selection with guaranteed NFL success, which isn't the case at all. But they think the 2 are married.

4- Even with if he's considered a project with potential, who drafts him and how high? Does it warrant leaving early?

Those guys are so conceited - they think they can coach anyone up

@Brandon Van de Graaff I'm seeing Milroe being treated like the 2019 Bama football team. That team, and its success in '19, was/is overlooked because of a missed block against Auburn (and a little from the LSU loss.) Coincidently, both this and that season ended with game against UM.

Emotions tainting perceptions leading to hyperbolic responses.

Leaving early? Ya know, he's got two degrees. He has a year of eligibility, sure. Geez, he still has a COVID year.

He's moving on. Any time spent thinking about something different is a waste of time.

Different teams will have him slotted in different spots for different reasons. He won't get a 1st round grade from everyone (and teams don't have 32 1st round grades). He's helped this year by an overall poor QB class in the draft. Yes, leaving early is absolutely the right call.

Or Anthony Richardson. Talking to a friend yesterday, he said “no way Millie is drafted “ I said bullshit - a lot of NFL GMs draft on potential over track records

This!!! 1000%!!! Richardson completed maybe 55% of his passes as a starter at UF, yet all you heard about was his arm and his speed.
I’ve said it until I’m blue in the face. Milroe will either declare or enter the portal. It’s time for him to move on.

 

[BamaFan334]

You can't say nothing to them on here. You say potential and it goes in and out of their ears....

Who gives a crap about how he physically tests? It's not his running speed holding him back, duh. His bench press or three cone drill isn't the issue. It's the mental side. How many combine heros have thrived in the NFL? John Ross even in the NFL anymore? Vernon Gholston from Ohio State was a bust. What about Carl Lawson from Auburn? I can't stand the Sanders Family, but would take Shedeur in two seconds over Milroe. As bad as Beck has been, I'd take him over Milroe. Milroe is in line with Quinn Ewers to me, totally unpredictable and unable to adjust.

That's not "shitting" on him, it's just the honest truth, and a lot of folks hate honesty.

Except he is more bad than he's been good. He regressed and there is absolutely zero question about that.

You cannot sit there and talk about him being in New York as many times as you did and review this season and that bowl game and say he's really good. I say "really good" because you gotta be really good to make the NFL.

You aren't thinking about this, Casey. You're reacting based upon emotions. That's being a fan.

Go ask Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard their thoughts. Don't just take my analysis for it. Pretty apparent yesterday they were tired of the bullshit. They bailed him out all year.

 

[OldPlayer]

The same thing I've been saying for 2 years on here... they see the potential. They've seen what he's able to do when he's at his best.

If he has potential, don’t draft him in the first three rounds. Draft in a later round for development.

If looks could kill them #4 would be in boot hill today.

A team can certainly try strategy, but they’ll have to move on down the list if they actually stick with it.

Here it is. A singular focus.

I don’t think anyone here is saying Milroe will have a 10-15 year career in the NFL at QB. I think we can all agree that GMs don’t always look at the mental side and they go with the combine results. Been many a Tarzan go through the combine to have less than the mental capacity of Jane.

You can't continue to negate multiple points of view and dismiss people outside the program as well as those in the trenches with the guy.

I would love to be a fly on the wall of what is being said to every receiver on our roster to make sure we keep them all this next year. Think "next year won't be like this year" with the insinuation of we'll have a guy that can get you the ball will be said?

Listen... Take a break from posting for few hours. Just process what they're trying to tell you. Shoot, I'm trying to tell folks same thing... reactions are overblown because it's emotional. Take emotions out of the conversation and you'll see what we are trying to tell you.

Milroe will be drafted based on POTENTIAL. He has done pretty good things... and folks won't look at that. they just wanted to focus on negative things. There are so much conversations about Milroe in past 24 hours, but Not one single conversation about how poor OL played yesterday.

TAKE.... THE... EMOTION.. OUT OF... THE CONVERSATION CASEY.

 

[alabama mike]

Omg y'all continuing to shit on him... Like damn.n

No, not at all. He helped Bama in a big way as a player, a student and when CNS left. As a person, I have nothing but respect for him, seems to be an outstanding young man. On the football field he also helped the Tide. Yesterday was an off day and nobody feels worse than him I’m sure.

IMO, I do not think he will do well with all the passing that takes place in that game, hope I’m wrong.

Listen Alabama... You need to take emotion out of this. That's something most of bama fans are struggling with right now.
