Kyron Drones as a potential option (not in portal)

Advertisement
An evaluation of Drones is next to impossible.

O-Line sucked, WRs sucked, only thing he had was a RB breaking tackles like ****. The scheme basically forced him to run around and yeet the ball across the yard in hopes that it works, whilst absolutely killing his body. The playcalling was ****e too.

It's a gamble. But the expectation for the portal QB to me is that he must be better than Emory and that's not difficult to achieve.

I've watched a lot of their games. Their offensive scheme is trash. I would scream a lot about going uptempo. The Vandy and Rutgers game was so disappointing to watch. I'll throw in the Marshall game too where it took them a whole half to wake up. The Miami game woke them up but we made everybody offense look great.

You raise a great point , we can’t judge any QB by playing against our horrendous D my goodness everyone has career trophy game.

A most embarrassing 10 win season ever

I think if you put him in a RPO-based offense with some veer options, you can do serious damage.

But we'll have to create a lot of YAC (hi Mr. Branch)

for the record I'm all in on Drones. 2024 they started slow but once ACC play came in they really picked it up but then Drones and Tuten got injured for that last quarter of games. Even after Miami they got it going with the Stanford game and that Thurs or Fri night blow out over BC. They looked good but thats when the injuries came in and the season was over for them.

Totally agree. Drones people need to get in his ear and tell him to get away from Brent Pry.

I actually like Drones more then Milroe. To me Drones would be an upgrade at Alabama over Milroe

Nah. I think Milroe would scare most opposing teams (both fans and DCs) 10x more than Drones. Both can’t throw the ball but Milroe I think is more polished than Drones.

With an improved defense though I see a path to 9-10 wins with Drones. We would need a top 10 rushing offense but that’s definitely doable.

One thing is for **** sure though. Drones here would have us frustrated week in, week out. He will make some stupid plays and miss some wide open throws / easy reads.
