Is it fixable? Is it bad mechanics? Guy was constantly missing slants and hooks high, behind, late, etc.

Do y’all think this is something he’ll get better at or is he a Jordan Jefferson type player?

His decision making is also suspect

He's a kid going through puberty. Much can change as he gets older.

He’s having a rough time as a freshman trying to navigate the hardest schedule in the country. His oline isn’t helping him at all.

It was painful to watch. Hell, you could see our receivers getting pissed.

I don’t know if it’s fixable, but if that is the best we have in our stable of QB’s then we are in for a long haul of sad times.

Yeah, he’s bad. LSU defense had nothing to do with it. Auburn’s defense is the best in the nation though.

I dunno, but Gus literally destroys young QBs. He has only been truly successful getting players who learn how to play football somewhere else.

Nix made a good throw in a critical spot when an Oregon DB got turned around. Since then he’s looked like a very pedestrian QB.

Not sure why Auburn fans and the media is ready to crown him as the next great QB.

He’s not a drop back passer. Never was. He’s a dual threat QB that Gus is trying to turn into a passer.

The best attribute Nix has is that he is young. That’s an attribute shared by every freshman QB in America.

Rough look

It's mental. If we are ahead, like state, he can hit them on the numbers almost every play but when the pressure is on its like the game is overwhelming him and he just starts overthrowing everything. He's scared to throw it near the WRs incase it's picked off but he's throwing too far away for the WRs to have any shot. While state isn't a good defense it's still hard to put the ball in an accurate spot that much and then miss every thing by a mile in bad games.

Plus Gus doesn't let him run enough to make plays to make him comfortable in the game and that makes it worse on his mindset.

Idk if Gus can fix it. Gus is blaming everyone else for putting him in a bad position and now Nix is talking that way. He's not blaming the anyone but saying they were in bad positions all night.
