Does it seem like Millen is physically unable to throw the ball?

[Palatine]

I know its a small sample size and we haven't seen him in practice but... His pass attempts have looked look weak, inaccurate and just plain awful. It's almost like he simply can't throw the ball.

I don't mind giving him a play or even a series here and there as a wrinkle. I think it's a good idea. But I remember watching his videos from high school and Oregon practice. His arm bears no resemblance to those videos.

What is wrong with him? Will it ever heal?

I hate to say it but he can't throw at all. Very sad because he had a very strong arm in high school.

I would think coming back from his second surgery on his throwing shoulder since 2019 would have something to do with it…

Maybe he could be a good wide receiver down the road.

At UConn QB's become TE's.

Good point. Maybe he could be a tight end.

And the TEs play for the Packers.

But seriously. What is the deal with Millen?

He's injured and recovering from a shoulder injury??

 

[RSTuthill]

The shoulder is a very complex mechanism. Depends of what he had done. I saw him throw only once in the CCSU game. He zipped it out of bounds deliberately and looked OK doing it. Thought he would draw a penalty, but no. Suspect we will find out after the season.

 

[ZooCougar]

What’s sad is that because he has better awareness he can still throw downfield better than the guy who is starting.

 

[Drew]

Yup- if he cant throw he needs to change positions. Waste of a scholarship otherwise.

 

[uchusky32]

Did he have this surgery before we signed him?

Yup.

Yup.

I could be wrong but Millen committed in December of 2021 and I believe the second shoulder surgery was in the spring:summer of 2022?

He had surgery once before we signed him. He had a second surgery after we signed him.

Yup… i misread/assumed @uchusky32 was referencing the latest one. I had noted above it was his second shoulder surgery since 2019.

If he is having a shoulder problem, it might affect his ability to reach with his arms to make effective catches.

I am no athlete, but my shoulder problems impact my ability to reach for objects both directly up to get something from a shelf and to reach forward to grab an object.

Maybe the orthos on the Yard can share their thoughts with us.

Definitely could be the case. If it is, put him on medical hardship and use the scholly elsewhere. Ain’t no charity.

He's playing QB for a few series in virtually every game. And you want to take away his scholarship. ???????????

 

[Alum86]

The opposing team knows he cannot throw and when he comes in now any semblance of surprise is gone. Hence he is getting stuffed now. Might as well let Rosa take direct snaps.

Yet he led the Huskies on their only TD drive in the past two games. Hhhmmmmm.

Palatine so desperately wants to see Millen start ahead of Zion lol.

Wow, you think can read minds. But if you could read minds why hang around the BY? Go make a fortune. I'm very impressed.

If you could really read minds and weren't just delussional, you would know what I want. I've posted it many times. I want production. And if the starter at any position isn't producing then give someone else a chance.

 

[Alum86]

Millen’s pass today against Fresno, though out of bounds, looked much better. His shoulder must be improving. Things looking up for the QB back up.
