That's what I believe as well. He was likely the best athlete on the field in HS and things are a little different in the SEC. I think he's got all the physical tools to be a good QB, but he's got to run the offense.

I thought people just said he sucks, not that he was an INT machine

Well, that’s kind of weird.

The Texas A&M board is to the left.

The trolling aside, I suspect a lot of rival SEC fans see Bo Nix the way I do.

He's a talented kid who was in a bad offense, has some bad habits and so far hasn't shown quite as much potential as they expected. Yet, he's a perfectly capable QB who is good enough to win in the SEC and they won't be too surprised if he takes big steps forward during the next two seasons.

In all likelihood he's not going to end up an elite SEC QB. There is a very reasonable chance, however, that he is one of a long list of very good and winning SEC QBs who holds a lot of records at his school.

Corral deals with a similar perception. 11 of his 14 interceptions last year came in two games. He was so good in the other 8 games that he still finished near the top in QBR.

ETA: Not defending 11 picks across 2 games. That's an insane number.

Why would it be weird? Bama applied the same method to little bro on the field last season.

I read the whole thing, but only because you are a Central Florida fan. And one thing you guys know when you see it is a "myth." And the banners that go with it.

You also went to the trouble of putting UCF fan under your handle and use their logo.
