Jalen Milroe

[Stout]

Lamar had 58 percent completion percentage coming out of college and he just got better every year. Why cant he be that type of prospect??

Because almost no QBs that are that inaccurate ever put it together as needed, especially not at Lamar's level. He is a true anomaly at his position.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Are you implying Lamar didn’t have a good arm in his college days as a QB. Uh, he certainly did. Accuracy was questionable.

I wanted us to draft him and remember the knock on him being that folks in the NFL were not liking his throwing motion. Then one of the talking heads predicted he should be drafted as a running back instead of a quarterback. SMH.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Nobody, other than you I guess, had Lamar even in consideration for a top 10 pick.

Why top 10? We had the 15th pick that year and could have drafted him there or even traded back and still drafted him. Instead, we traded up 5 spots to draft Josh Rosen.

and 90%+ of the board was ecstatic.

I was on record to stay at 15 and pick Lamar.
But how could we not be excited at the prospect of finally having a quarterback?

Jalen Hurts 2.0

He wishes!

Dan Patrick was talking about Milroe today on his show because it came out in the news that he has small hands.

With Josh Allen.

QB isn’t just completion %.

Milnos entire career as a QB doesn’t stand out in a single area. His tape especially is not remarkable where Hurts’s play jumped off the tape in college. They aren’t close to being the same type of QB.

Tysom Hill is the better comp due to not really being a QB as an NFL standard.

Absolute Classic!

Smallest hands for a QB in the history of them measuring, right? Thought I heard that on pat mcafee show

Despite some passing issues, guys like Lamar and Hurts were actually really really good QBs in college. Milroe's passing deficiencies are lot worse than what Lamar's were and he's not nearly as transcendent a runner. If Milroe wasn't entering the draft there isn't a chance he's Alabama's QB next year, if wanted to start he would have to transfer to a smaller school. He's their worst starting QB since John Parker Wilson in 2008. Guys like Blake Sims, Greg McElroy and Jake Coker were unquestionably better QBs than Milroe. Milroe isn't even in the same stratosphere as a guy like Mac Jones.

In my opinion it's just not wise to draft guys who weren't even good in college. Especially guys like Milroe with fantastic supporting casts. It's not like Milroe's even a physical freak like Anthony Richardson.


To me Milroe is not Lamar or Hurts, he's Deshone Kizer 2nd round pick in 2017, the QB of the 0-16 Browns. Of course, Kizer was also a much better college QB than Milroe.

With Josh Allen.

Yep. And Josh Allen had to hire an expert and completely re-learn how to throw a football the right way. Most of the QBs coming out aren't that dedicated and I would hazard to say that most of them couldn't manage it even then.

I didn’t know this.

 

[Stout]

I didn’t know this.

Yeah, he went hard core to fix his mechanics. Transformed his game by doing so. This is what frustrates me about Kyler. Maybe he could become great, or at least a lot better, but he just isn't trying everything he can. He works hard at what he works on, but keeps daddy as his QB guru. Effing stupid.

100% this

 

[SECTION 11]

I would let Milroe return punts. That’s about it.

 

[az jam]

Milroe is not a good player. Teams would be dumb to take him on the first two days of the draft. He should be a late round pick as a project.

How tall is he

 

[Harry]

He’s sliding badly and the current thinking of most is round 3. His inconsistency is the major concern. He seems to lack great football instincts.

Wasn’t overly impressed with the mental aspect of his game.

 

[phillycard]

Enough of drafting QBs that are athletes. Draft one that can read a defence and go through progressions.

Enough for who? Cardinals? Far as I know, Kyler is the only "athlete" at QB we've ever drafted. Had we drafted Lamar like we were supposed to have, we certainly wouldn't be lamenting athletic qb's.
