Preseason game 1, Jalen Milroe vs Cam Miller?

[Mistashoesta]

I'd normally catch the highlights on YouTube or completely miss the games all together. Gotta admit, Milroe does make them a bit more interesting.

Geno playing would be nice. Would give our DBs practice at catching passes thrown directly at them in the end zone.

It would also help our pass rush when he runs backwards 15 yards, and takes a sack on 3rd down.

Milroe vs Miller, I guarantee a win. Milroe is a top SEC QB, Miller? Division I FCS Missouri Valley Football Conference. That's like comparing a Rolls-Royce to a Corolla.

Still doubt me? Milroe's ball speed was measured at 75mph, Miller? 48 mph. Talk about noodle arm.

I think Darnold gets a full offensive possession (not just a series) and then is replaced by Drew the rest of the half and then Milroe gets the entire 2nd half.

Everyone can certainly have their own opinions on Milroe and where he should have been taken.
Not a single one of them has the experience or knowledge that JS has.
I happen to agree with the pick and where Milroe was taken. But even if I had disagree'd, I would have wagered my hard earned money against myself.
In the end, once the dust settles, I personally believe JM will live up to where he was drafted. He might not light the world up, but he'll definitely produce for us.

Success rate of Schneider picking QB? 100%

No, I said the sixth is where he SHOULD have gone. I'm sure had we not set our third-round pick on fire, some other incompetent front office would have shortly after, and then their fans, who were all vehemently against taking him five seconds earlier, would have all been pretending they liked him all along and his last year at Bama never happened.

Everyone has their own opinion, but I was super stoked when we drafted him. I was literally chanting his name when we were on the clock.

We all should be super stoked!! If we didn't take him, Chip Kelly definitely will, Chip likes mobile QB with strong arms.

As for the first preseason game I'm thinking both Darnold and Lock will get substantial showtime. I don't expect to see Milroe until late third or maybe even not until fourth quarter. If he sees action before then I think something is brewing regarding his timetable.

Absolutely

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Again, there's zero chance he was making it past the 3rd round, imo.

Not sure about "zero chance..." After all, Sanders had far more name recognition etc so I was surprised he didn't get taken before Milroe. But I bought in on Milroe just as soon as I absorbed the coverage of his 30 visit to Seattle.\I will staunchly defend everyone their right to their own opinion, even though I think some formulate their opinion on a starvation diet of facts.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

That's why I said imo.

 

[glenwo2]

Glad we didn't get that one-man circus act (Sanders) here.

Just like the incompetent front office that picked Lamar Jackson in the 1st round when all the smart people passed on him. MVP...

QB1 by ‘27.

Don’t worry, I’ve already bookmarked the page so I can talk mad smack at that point.

 

[projectorfreak]

And sheduer just got a ticket for 101 mph in a 60mph zone or a freeway as i call em , seen many people do that before , he just got caught so grain of salt , at least he wasn't lit
I'd still take jm , he just seems to be a mature young guy and hopefully he lights up the pre season for us

Cleveland picked Gabriel two picks later. They are obviously two different types of QB's in every way so not sure if they'd have been interested or not. Going into the fourth round, Seattle was picking at #137 near the end of the round before trading out. The Rams certainly could have been interested in the fourth. Pittsburgh as well, and I think Milroe pairs so well with a team wanting to pound the ball and play defense. The Jets picked twice in the fourth round and don't have a long-term solution on their roster (unless you believe in Justin Fields reclamation). The Raiders had four picks after Milroe and before Seattle's traded fourth, but who knows since Carroll is so loathe to pick QB's (though you have to think that Milroe could execute the read-option with Jeanty and which paved the way for Wilson's early success). I think they had to get him at the end of the third or really risk him being gone.

Shrewd of you to use "by '27" as I think 2026 might well be in play.

Watch him become QB1 by '28.

I'll probably find myself talking smack to you while going "Nyaah! Nyaaah! You're off by a year!"
