That OL is the reason Nico isnt playing by now

Well if thats the case he won't play next year either, because imo our ol will not be as good next year as this year. Milton mostly has plenty of time to throw, and until Sat our rushing game has been very good, and you do not have a good rushing game without a good ol. Saban sold out to stop the run, and force us to beat them in the air, which we could not do. But for some unknown reason Hype changed the offensive play calling in the 2nd half in both offense and defense, very few blitzes, in 2nd half, and very conservative in the play calling, even after Milton had a pretty good 1st half.

Not taking anything away from either of them but in that era of the SEC Tenn and Fla were the only real dominate teams. If they came into the league today neither would be starting IMO.

That’s silly. They’re only two of the best QBs not named Manning to play for us. They were both light years better than Milton. Ainge would start on any SEC team this year, and mist years.

As a freshman? He was all world right?

Whatever … if you choose to hang your hat on Peterman and ignore the multiple examples of other true freshmen that did start and play well … then I suppose there’s no convincing you that some freshmen QB’s are talented enough to play at this level.

You made a stupid post; I proved the stupidity of it; so then your response is to type nonsense that has nothing to do with your claim. You win the dumb games for today, and welcome to the list.

That was 20+ years ago. The league is a lot deeper than it was then. Clausen hit his ceiling by his sophomore year and Ainge never really played to the level he was capable of reaching (though he was very good). They were both also developed physically.

That East was nowhere near as tough as it is today. Those two you mentioned were already physically developed enough to step in and play. Nico needs to develop more so he doesn’t get hurt.

Yeah the East was so weak that UGA was only ranked #3 in the country when we beat them in Athens with Ainge under center as a true freshman. Either you’re twenty years old and talking out of your a-s, or you’re choosing to make stuff up.

Ainge as a sophomore and junior would start on most SEC teams this year but he would not start as a freshman on most of the teams this year. The SEC today is a different league than when he was a freshman.

Every play is sent in with options. It's the quarterbacks job to read the defense and choose which option will be best. I don't think play calling is the issue. Either the O line isn't completing assignments or, the quarterback is choosing the wrong option. Or Thornton is still dropping passes

Exactly. My son and I were talking about that last night. Milton doesn’t have what it takes between the ears to effectively and efficiently run this offense like Hooker did.

Love him or hate him Nick Saban changes this league with his defenses.

Maybe Nico is ready, maybe not.

But that statement you made is IGNORANT. Many True or Rsfreshman have started in the SEC

Yes. Usually when they have great talent around them. Like Bama and UGA. Sometimes LSU and TENN in years past. Most of those teams are loaded with talent either at OL and skill positions

Fa-reel!!. 4th and 1 and you got your big a** QB IN SHOTGUN formation? 2X!!
Click to expand...
Yep
There is no play he can't do right?
If the play calling was different it would be guaranteed first bc this qb has proven he's unstoppable.
F heupel for interfering with the 2nd coming at qb

Clausen was better than Ainge. Far better. Ainge choked when pressured.

Milton no doubt needs to make some better decisions at times, but our receivers are not running crisp routes for the most as to what I see.
How can Milton throw a timing out when he’s not sure if the receivers are cutting to their spot or rounding off a route which allows a DB to be in position .
Just my humble observation

He did throw to spots..our receivers were held and our super smart perfect football knowledgable fans blame Joe for a bad pass.

Warren was wide open in the end zone in the first half and Milton overthrew him.

Warren the 6'6 TE with 3 Ft arms and 1/2in vertical that couldn't reach a ball thrown 1 inch over his arm where the SHORTER DEFENDER could not reach...Fant makes that catch, hell I bet even the 2 freshman make the catch or ay least a better effort

He did Hooker his first season - Thought Milton was better and kept Hooker on the bench

I've heard several folks say that Milton was just great in practice and that's why he got the nod over Hooker. It's just different when bullets start flying vs being in a green jersey and you know you're not gonna get hit. All a coach can do is make his best assessment based on what these guys look like in practice. Some said the same about Dobbs. Seems he wasn't a great practice guy but when the lights came on he was a baller. I can't blame him for choosing Milton over Hooker. Hey, he's not the first coach to fall in love with Milton the practice QB. Happens.

Milton still probably still gives us the best chance to win, right now. Having said that, it's pretty clear that Milton is a freak level athlete who is also an average QB.
