DeBoer's offense favors Simpson's skill set over that of Milroe

No it doesn't because the college game/concepts and the NFL game/concepts can be so different.

Some QBs can be better fits for the college game than the NFL game and Milroe fit the bill as an explosive running QB with his 4.3/40. One could even argue that he was the Alabama's offense in 2023 when he finished 6th in the Heisman voting with first (and only one) year coordinator Tommy Rees who had spent the prior 6 or so years at Notre Dame.

Bama ran year one of Kalen DeBoer's offense in 2024. That offense relies extremely heavily on the QB decision making tree to distribute the ball and is known to be pass game centric. There is no rationalization you can make with Milroe where he has some advantage in DeBoer's offense. Simpson lost the competition to Milroe, and he reportedly was not happy about it iirc, but he sat the bench like a dutiful backup QB afterwards and in his small appearance sample size of six games didn't do anything noteworthy, other than put up a forgettable completion percentage.

So. Again. And honestly for the last time in this thread at least, given that I don't want to further pollute the board with senseless back and forths, it is silliness to try to gloss over Simpson's inability to beat out Milroe for the 2024 season. That's the kind of thing I would expect his mother to do, not someone on a football board.
