Not going to focus on race but you included two quarterbacks who were pure pocket passers and not at all comparable to Milroe in Akili Smith and Jamarcus Russell. The only commonality between the three are that they’re all black. More lazy analysis man. I notice you didn’t mention Marcus Mariota and Paxton Lynch didn’t get grouped in there? 4/8 of the remaining playoff teams have quarterbacks with similar physical traits to Milroe in some capacity in Daniels, Hurts, Josh Allen and Lamar. Yes, Alabama still recruits at a top level, but NIL has bridged the gap a lot more than it was ten years ago. That point went straight over your head obviously. I haven’t even completely made my mind up on Milroe but I find it funny that you absolutely trash him and then make a thread on Jordan Travis lol.
Travis to me could become a Tyrod Taylor type. Which is not a knock, a healthy Tyrod is a solid QB, he could even start for a team and do all right. I would go as far as to say he may end up starting for us at some point in 2025 and do a decent job. Tyrod Taylor did OK for Buffalo as a starter. Of course Travis could also be waived, but I am thinking ceiling is Tyrod Taylor without getting hurt after a few games every year. Which could give us the best QB play since Pennington. It would be actually pretty exciting to watch after years of garbage play we endured. Still for a franchise QB I do want find find someone better eventually, but if he does become a Tyrod Taylor, he could be a solid bridge QB for some time. I am worried about his injury and how it will impact him mentally given the setbacks, and whether he is injury prone. But would be cool if he could win a back-up job to start the season.
Nobody can even legitimately say he could be a Jets active roster quarterback without seeing him in NFL action. Then, being a starter is a big jump and a franchise quarterback is something else entirely. Having said that, I'd like to see him actually on a practice field at least.
