re: Jarrett Stidham

so what makes us so damn sure that stidham is going to come in and not only take the starting job from SW, but be our savior?

He can run better than Sean. He's a little faster and bigger than SW. He's got a couple nice runs on his highlight

His arm looks a little stronger than White

Stidham is a step up talent wise from SW.

Healthy full-tune starting SW wins 10 games this year.

Sounds like you answered your own question. Stidham is a slightly bigger, slightly more durable, slightly overall better QB than SW, who could have won us 10 games this year, if fully healthy. Which brings us to the other point you made:

the depth and security he adds

Against what should be an easier schedule, a slight upgrade at QB, while adding solid depth to the position, might be the exact piece we need to go from 10 wins to 15 (ship).

just because he looks better on paper doesn't mean he his. That was my point. AU fans should know this by now. If physical attributes meant success then JJ would be a millionaire in a few months.

We have no idea how he will look in our system until he's actually in it. His success at Baylor shouldn't
be an indicator for how he'll do at Auburn. Baylor's system makes things easy for QBs and what elite defenses did he face in the Big 12? With tweedle dumb and tweedle dee running our offense he may be shite here. we don't know. But what we do know is that Sean White is a gamer and is smart with the ball.


all I'm saying is let's wait and see before we anoint the guy our next Heisman contending QB. That kind of pressure messes with a kid.


ETA:

and you're all ignoring the fact that even though most of you clamor for a dual threat QB, stidham is statistically a worse runner than Sean White

he can see over the OL and knows how to slide feet first

did you include sacks in your analysis of rushes?

why should I when all QBs rushing numbers are affected by sacks? Sean White has taken plenty, he might just end up looking even better if we do that.

here's some sack analysis off the top of my head, in SW's first ever start against State last year he was very 80 yards rushing at one point, but in the 4th qtr when we were trying to come from behind State started getting to White and he ended up with like 30 something rushing yards. That's just a part of it for college QBs

uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


are you serious?

do all qbs run the same offense?

you don't think baylor's offense who throws the ball a lot more would have the qb sacked more often?

really?

did you consider that 1/3 of sean whites 2016 rushing yards came on one play against arkansas? you think stidham couldn't have done that same thing... except you know... not fall down forward on his shoulder like an idiot?

neat bro


since you don't want to look at it objectively, i'll leave you to your sw jerking

quote:

Not to argue, but the results seemed rather inclusive as to whether the major flaws(s) lied with thrower, the catcher, or both? It sorta seemed as if the routes where never near an automatic rehearsed mode that a comfortable duo achieves by years end. Almost as three QB's were still sparring for the job and no pecking order established with the WR's. Shame no non-player has laid claim for the blame.... worthless shits that they are.

---

how about the results that JF3 has auburn's longest pass of the year?

quote:

---

most never said the kid didn't have the long ball?

---

huh?

all your placing blame on everything else besides sean white earlier is proven null when jf3, who threw a total of 19 passes this year, has auburn's longest pass of the year

you'd think if it was on the wr's, or the qb/wr connection, or the coaches, or the way the tide was flowing in, that sean white could have hit one pass in 200 attempts longer than jf3 did against the best defense in the country

huh?
no

I'm saying anyone arguing for OR AGAINST JF3 or SW is doing so based on an incomplete deck of cards. Because neither was used in a system beneficial to their respective strengths. At some point I would have hoped the play book would have been re-written to utilize what you got and not what you hoped for. Neither of these two were used properly.

AS TO WHO threw the longest ball...no problemo JF, that's his strong point, word was he could connect on nothing else but the long ball... so what are you arguing ?

lol

so sean white threw 200 passes yet you can't figure out if he can throw the long ball accurately,huh?

so when sean white led the sec in completion percentage, rating, & yards/attempt (before the uga game), he wasn't being used correctly?

tell us exactly what other stat did sean white need to lead the sec in for you to be satisfied with the offense?

quote:

and game film shows us that sean white can't connect on the long ball... but here you are trying to say it's all on the coaches and not having that qb/wr connection
