Auburn better hope somebody other than TJ Finley wins this QB race.

I’m going to state the obvious here. Auburn is in trouble if he is the starting QB. He’s not the answer; not even close. It will be the finishing touch on Bryan Harsin’s tenure in Auburn and he likely doesn’t make it past December…if he isn’t fired sooner. It would prove a monumental failure of an off-season after losing Bo Nix.

2-8 as a starter
56% completion percentage
QBR of 120

We need Zach Calzada or Robby Ashford to make a move.

It will be Calzada that’s why he transferred here. Finley will probably be the backup tho

Kinda proud of some of you who are not happy with high 50% completion rates and terrible QBRs. I have been on this train for a few years now.

They’re both mediocre QBs with the one difference that Calzada had one big win that he led. I know Finley isn’t very popular here but he’s not much worse than Calzada either. Calzada has more TDs but they both had around a 56% completion percentage and negative rushing yards for the whole season. I don’t feel one way or another if either of them starts. Y’all should’ve melted with me months ago when it was more appropriate for a melt. It’s game hype time now.

You never know. TJ best chance of success is to be a game manager and not make mistakes

The Calzada freak out based on fall camp going exactly as predicted is insane

Well now there’s a new take that needed it’s own thread.

It’s only been mentioned by just about every poster here.

Someone asked Marcus Harris on Instagram is Ashford would be QB1 and Harris replied with a pic of Calzada. I’d imagine the teams expectation is that he’s the man.

just remember that our first two games are Mercer and San Jose State..

Those will determine the QB for the season

IOW, don't have a cow no matter what happens the first game and a half - and I suspect that could be the limit of how long it could take to get the rotation for QB

If TJ is the best option then TJ will play. Harsin doesn’t have the luxury of bringing someone along, he’s got to play the best guy every snap. I’ll cross my fingers and hope for the best of it is indeed TJ. My guess is that we’ll experiment a bit in the first two games but that Calzada will end up being QB1.

If Finley is the starter then a 5-7 record is certainly in play.
