Yeah, I think a lot fans agree with you here Nicks.

You can look back through the history books of any sport and find many players who had the ability to "do it", but didn't.

He’s a phenomenal runner who also is very good throwing deep passes. His short/ medium passes are not good. 
 

I would worry that they’d take him and then their patience with developing him would cause them to skip over a better QB prospect next season 

 He's good at throwing deep passes in the sense of his physical abilities and stepping into a throw.   Does he still struggle to process and throw with timing, accuracy and consistency when the way isn't made clear for him? Yes. 

 Being physically capable is one thing, being "good" is another.

I'll add this - his completion percentages don't suck.  His best TD:INT ratio of 23:6 in 2023 = Tyler's Shough in 2024.  Shough had more yardage but Milroe had the better completion% of 65.8 to 62.7 for Shough when each had their best TD:INT ratio.

Whatever we're doing - Rees looks like he can get the best out of a young QB because that 2023 season he was at Bama was WAY better for Milroe than 2024.

I'm trying to find stuff that is somewhat positive.

After the 2025 college football season concludes, poor Arch Manning is gonna feel like he woke up on Brokeback Mountain with all the queer eye for great QB love he'll be gettin.  I'm still kind of stunned that Texas only wanted to take a prospect like that and only set aside 1 full season for him to start, which is what they did for just a ho-hum starter in front of him (Quinn Ewers). Even if next year is Manning's junior year (which I don't know) - it would still be the final year as a best guess.  Why not start him or at least give a lot of action as a Freshman; then progress it to starter as a sophomore. This would be followed by 1 final season his junior year. If you're gonna win the recruiting war for him and do that? You left a lot of "what if" on that field; and us Ohio State fans aren't complaining about it.  Am I getting this wrong?
