Jalen Milroe’s NFL Comparison: A Dual-Threat Dynamo with a Familiar Blueprint

Not enough coffee this morning

For sure they will draft a QB from time to time to see if the magic is there but its a long shot...

And to be honest, I don't understand how any of these mid round picks are any better than Stetson i.e. likelihood is that they sit in 3rd string.

Agreed! I'm expecting that any seriously viable first-round QB prospect will already have been drafted before our team's #26 overall selection on Thursday... :? ;) :idea:

RAM SEASON!!

I bet you said the same thing in regards to:

Lamar Jackson- Drafted 32nd
Jalen Hurts- Drafted 33rd

this is everyone's dream comparison right now with Milroe. Hoping he is the next LJ. If the Rams want him they will have to draft him in the 1st round because he won't be there when they select in round 3. I think it's a huge smokescreen but what do I know

[NorCal RF]

Milroe predraft in no way shape or form compared to Hurts or Jackson predraft . To mention him in any comparison to those two…………


Again Milroe may be drafted around the same spot as those two because THIS IS NOT A GOOD QB DRAFT!!

Anyone actually think the Rams are “showing interest” because they know teams drafting in the top 10 would rather not draft a QB with their first pick but rather their second round pick. Provides a great potential trade back haul for the Rams in trading back with one of these teams from 26 to an early second round pick plus another pick or two from such a trade………….

I have said it more than once I think the Rams trade back. Sneed is not someone who wants such a big gap between picks like they currently have twice in this draft.

For every Lamar and Hurts there's 5 x RGIII's, Field's, etc etc.. is it worth the risk when we are close and really need a sure thing (well as close to it as possible) that can contribute straight away.

obviously if he comes close to LJ then yes but IMO he is more like A. Richardson

[Slickjack]

If Stafford does retire, wouldn't a well rested and healthy Jimmy G. be a better option? Sometimes I think the NFL is too quick to move on from guys.

[ocram23]

obviously if he comes close to LJ then yes but IMO he is more like A. Richardson

Actually, his closest comparison is Jalen Hurts. Keep in mind Richardson went 4th in the Draft to a crap team. Jackson and Hurts went 32nd and 33rd to good to great teams. Huge difference. Milroe would fit into the Lamar/Hurts category on that one going to an already great team, with the luxury of sitting 2 years. Richardson was thrown immediately into the fire on a shit team and the results are predictable. Also, on the "character" scale Milroe is MILES above Richardson.

agree with you on the character comparison. dude is a freak no doubt but not a 1st rounder IMO

[ocram23]

Fair enough. He's invited to the Draft so some people think he is.

yeah I think Roger was notified by a team there is a good chance they are going to draft him

[malibu]

If the comparisons are Tyrod Taylor, Justin Fields and Jaylen Hurts no thanks all are mediocre QBs some below that. Yes Hurts is average he just amazing cast of characters around him put him on an average team and see how he does. The Mark of a great QB is being on a shit team but still producing.

If 'history' is some sort of guideline, two of our team's Hall of Fame QBs were acquired in the draft's fifth round (Bob Waterfield, 1945) and third round (Norm van Brocklin, '49), while the third was a free agent (Kurt Warner, '98).

However, all it indicates is that of course an NFL team can get lucky with a QB who's not considered a top prospect, yet still the odds are against that happening.

With Matthew Stafford apparently in decent health while backed up by Jimmy Garoppolo, I see no need for the Good Guys to 'settle' at the QB position in this year's draft, assuming that better prospects figure to be available (via drafting or trading) during the next offseason.

"Patience, Grasshopper..." 8-) :idea:

100% agree.. Hurts is just above average without that line.

I think if we don’t trade out of 26 (which I think we’ll do), we draft someone no one saw coming..

Rams have been known for that. One example is when we drafted Atwell.

Who knows, but I keep thinking this might be a quiet draft for us…

[GlendoraRam]

“ My antenna was raised when I saw that Jalen Milroe was invited to Green Bay for Day 1 of the draft. They don't do that unless they have it on pretty good authority that there's a possibility he comes off the board, right? Given that he's more of a project, I think that makes him a fascinating prospect for the Rams to target as Matthew Stafford continues to go year-to-year with the organization. Sean McVay could have his cake by contending with Stafford in the immediate and eat it too by developing Milroe as a dual threat star in the shadows.”

My point exactly.....

And the benefit of taking him in rd 1 is that you have an extra year of control.
Milroe didn't impress me all that much from watching him this year, but if Mcvay likes him, I'll trust that.

“I just met with the Rams,” Milroe said. “Great meeting with them. No matter what team it is, it is so important just to talk ball with them, get an understanding of how I view X’s and O’s and the process of it is big. The meeting went well. Every one of them, I leave out, and they leave out so impressed with me.”

Oh yeah, he's a Ram. Starting Quarterback E.T.A. 2026 or 7

Nobody will hear about this guy ever again after the draft.

I think you are the guy that said Jayden Daniels would be the worst QB drafted in the 1st round last year.

[ocram23]

remember guys as Todd McShay has stated many times we are in what they call lying season. who knows what they are going to do

[49RH8R]

Says the guy who didn't know Brock Purdy took San Francisco to the Super Bowl.

Of course I know Purdy "took" the 49ers to the Super Bowl. So did Garoppolo who I was talking about.

Daniels will probably be the best of the bunch. lol

Nope. That's Drake Maye

so you are saying Maye is going to be better than Daniels????? hmmmmm

[NorCal RF]

Ok we get it Rams talked to Milroe. How many more quotes on the subject from national guys stating this do we need……….

[ocram23]

so you are saying Maye is going to be better than Daniels????? hmmmmm

Yes. That's what I'm saying.

wow

[NorCal RF]

Pelissero can see the Giants trading back up to 24 to take Milroe. Wonder why they feel they need to go to 24 to get him???

Because he will be the greatest QB of all time is my first guess………

[GlendoraRam]

Could Jalen Milroe Be Sean McVay’s Answer to Jayden Daniels’ Brilliance?

boy I think that is a leap don't you??? I think everyone is hoping for this that is into him. Better comparison is LJ

[GlendoraRam]

Perhaps... actually, I still want a stud ILB at #26.
I still feel all this noise is smoke. Rams will trade back

me too. I would not be too upset if they traded back and got an additional 2nd rounder

[GlendoraRam]

Truth is. You can all the physical tools in the book. If you don’t have much between the ears, you ain’t going to make it.

Agreed, I would be happy with a high second-round pick (Trey Amos?) and a high third-round one (Chris Paul Jr.?) in return for our team's #26 overall selection... 8-) :idea:

Dual threat is awesome, if you're an actual dual threat.

Who looks like a better prospect at this point - Milroe or Robert Griffin III? I say Robert Griffin III did.

And even then, QB's that can run, and start relying on it too much don't survive in the NFL too long. This is how I fear Milroe could fare. I haven't seen the arm that would get much NFL respect yet.

I mean Josh Allen is an absolute freak with the punishment he can take while not slowing down in the slightest. But as well, he has an elite arm. Milroe...I'm not seeing it.

Robert Griffin III was also a "better prospect" than Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. Just sayin....

He couldn't take the hits. Either could Michael Vick. Not everybody can. Jackson and Hurts are in the iron men category...and whether Milroe is an ironman as well, do you see the arm in him that the others mentioned had? Sounds like a big 1st round gamble to me...

[RamPower]

Smokescreens? Dude had trouble completing passes one-on-one at the combine, idk. Hell with all the talent at Alabama, he couldn't get them into a 12 team playoffs. First round sounds too high for me.

Don't like the word fixable for 1st round QB's
