Jalen Milroe? Any thoughts?

These 3 example right here all you need to read about Milroe to stay very far away from him unless your drafting him for the future. He is a 3 year project that could go either way. As for the points:

1. Accuracy issues when the game speeds up as a rookie has disaster written all over it. Especially for a rookie short and intermediate throws are going to be your bread and butter and you struggling with that.

2. Turnover prone (nuff said)

3. He struggled in college football(people forget he was benched last year) and the plan is speed the game up, close the throwing windows, and exponentially increase the difficulty. LOL! I'll stop there.

This. As a QB, talking about Milroe is heartbreaking. He should be a UDFA as a QB, slipping past all 7 rounds. It kinda goes to show how cut throat some of these college coaches are. They all knew Milroe had zero future as QB at the next level but continued to train him there to fit their run game narrative which only works in college (and not consistently, as we saw Alabama's offense struggled a lot when Milroe's running was contained). In truth, he should've been a WR, or RB in college. He likely would've found some measure of success in the NFL. But it seems far more probable that even if (more like when because someone will gamble on him) he gets drafted, he's not long for the NFL at all. I think he'll end up bouncing from team to team as a camp body before the end of his rookie contract. I'd be really happy for him though if he somehow magically flourished with a move to RB or WR, but its not going to happen at QB.
