Steelers drafting Milroe is my dream scenario. I try daily to speak it into existence! laugh

I'll die on the "Milroe is just a fast athlete pretending to play QB" hill.

Many of us said the same about guys like Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts too.

Jackson was a Heisman Trophy candidate. Hurts led his team to a Championship before Saban benched him for Tua mid game. It's an insult to compare Milroe to these two. Particularly, Lamar.

Alabama fans begged Milroe not to return.

To quote the legendary Browns O.C., Todd Haley, "You can't live in your fears." tongue

On a side note, Milroe being as polarizing as he is, at least makes for some entertaining draft talk.

I don't think most Bama "fans" know what they are looking at with Milroe. I think it was more his WRs were fast athletes pretending they knew how to play the position, but were frequently not doing it how they were supposed to. Also think Bama tried to transition their OL blocking like we did with similar results. I don't think Milroe was the problem. I think he's more Josh Allen coming out as a passer than Lamar, and similarly has some cleaning up to do, but, personally, I think he's further along than the public perception appears to be. I'm with YTown on this. I don't want to see him in Pittsburgh.

I think with a little runway he could be a great fit for this team.

I totally agree. In 2023 he was throwing to Isaiah Bond and Jermaine Burton (3rd round pick of Bengals). 39 Alabama players transferred after Saban left and his top target in 2024 was a true freshman receiver Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard who was a backup receiver in 2022 and 2023 and will return to that role in 2025 with another freshman receiver likely to take his spot. Bottom line is Milroe did not have usual Bama talent around him in skill positions. he is better than people give him credit for.
