so I don't see how it could be seen as such an overblown issue...


For the reasons I said. It's something easy to point out. Snaps WERE an issue. But, they become a much bigger issue when they're added to lots of other issues. People acting like bad snaps were the major reason our QB was bad are either not very bright, or fooling themselves.

And, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the snaps weren't great in the A-day game. Nobody mentioned it much, because we aren't in the looking-for-excuses mode right now.

where do you see anyone acting like that? This is a thread about things that can help Milroe succeed. One of the things that people listed is the center not making errant snaps.

So its overblown because it was so obvious? Uh, ok.

No one mentioned it much because it was spring practice. If it happens the first game of the season, you will see people talking about it.

This is my problem with this argument. I don't think it's that cut and dried. If Jalen was just a flat out bad QB there's no way we win the SEC last season, dethroning the defending back to back champs, and come within a play of winning the Natty (because let's be real if we beat Michigan we would have beaten Washington).

I think people on here are calling him bad because he's not an elite QB. And that's fine because he's not. Maybe DeBoer can get him there maybe not. But just because he's not elite doesn't make him bad. He played some really good football at times last year. He also made some really stupid mistakes. It's more nuanced than just saying he sucks and will never get better.
