Time Is A Flat Circle

I feel like Jalen Milroe is getting some shade like another former Alabama Jalen (Hurts). I really liked Hurts when he came out. He showed improvement in his passing game after he went to Oklahoma and showed a ton of humility when he lost his job to Tua and didn't make a peep about it.

Milroe needs some time to work on his game as a passer, but from everything I've read he's a great kid, hard worker, and good teammate. If he gets the Jordan Love/Jalen Hurts treatment and sits for a season or two I think he can be a good QB. His running ability is Lamar Jackson like, if he can be a competent NFL passer watch out.

This is who I see.

I expect to see a different version of Darnold this year. Which will heap more accolades on to KOC for being a guru. Seahawks will realize they are going no where fast and it will be Milroe to the meat grinder.

Oh man, Milroe is not ready for the NFL...

Wet is right, the dude needs to curate a year, maybe 2

Hope Sam does well, but I also see a regression now that he's flown the MN Nest.

There's little doubt that Sam will decline outside of the A+ surround he had in Minnesota. But while some think he's going to revert to the Sam we saw in New York and Carolina, I don't buy it. I think he learned a few things in Minnesota, and he'll have a solid year in Seattle, finishing somewhere in the middle of the QB pack. Either way, I'd bet on a slushy in the Sahara before I'd bet on Milroe starting at any point this year.

Tell Mark. I think he deserves a chance to get his money back.

Fans being what they are....in every NFL city.....Uncle Sammy's first INT will then be followed with, 'MilROE.....MilROE.....' But they'll find out that the Farmer's Almanac is more accurate than Jalen.

Good for Uncle Sammy that he got paid. But imo it's only a matter of time in Seattle. KOC kept the ghosts at bay, until the playoffs. And the team around Sam along with quite a bit of luck covered his flaws which are still there in spades.

Seeing what Uncle Sammy put on tape for 6 years, it's a goddammed qb-whispering miracle that KOC pulled off here. And miracles typically only happen once-just ask Case Keenum.

Yep. Jackson, Hurts, and now Milroe were all great values in the draft. All three obvious to see at the time, too. When Milroe's time will come I'm not sure, but the traits are there.

Hearing about Keenum always harkens me back to Zimsu...I thought there was a decent chance they'd bring him in for QB2 this season
