People going from burning Thorne and Ashford at the stake to “Let’s just ride with Thorne next year” is just mind blowing to me. These are the games that changed peoples minds: Vs Bama 5/16 91 yds 1 TD 2 INT 57 rush yds Vs UGA 10/19 82 yds 0 TD 1 INT 92 rush yds

Did you watch / re-watch the games?

Anyone can cherry-pick stats. Drops? Just curious as I haven't checked all stats, but has any other QB had 57 / 92 rushing yards against uga / bama? Sacks included, right? fricked up platooning with Robby. Right? What doesn't show up in a stat line is Payton Thorne lowering his shoulders and delivering punishment on bama linebackers for a 1st down. That is more than enough for me.

Stats and all, QB PT threw 2 picks vs. Bama. Did you see them? You understand how much they meant? Asking for myself. Politely, GTFO.

Reminder - while W/L matters above all else, a fricked-up hodge-podge of AU players undeer a 1 st year HC HF, new co-ordinators played top-10 uga, ole miss and bama to one score games. The bama game was won, except it wasn't. If you want stat lines, pls double-check AU-bama and please explain them to us. WDE.

What a fricking low standard. JFC.

Didn’t we go 6-6? Didn’t we lose to NMSU by 3 touchdowns with Thorne as the QB? WTF are you talking about?

We can do a lot better. We knew that when he ended up being the QB transfer last year. Now all the sudden because he lowered his shoulder, we’re willing to sacrifice a passing game to coddle his feelings?

Like another guy said, if Thorne is so good, he should be able to beat out who we need bring in.

I argued for Thorne when people burned him at the stake. I’m now arguing against him now that y’all don’t want a transfer. Quit being emotional and look at it rationally.
