The speed was nice.
And he did everything he was asked to do to win the national championship. The dude was awesome.
Still, his greatest deep ball was a duck.

Jj definitely won't get the wide open looks Marshall got. And your running backs will have at least one more defender keyed on them instead of NM as a threat to keep it.
Oh how fun it will be to watch everyone else's reactions when they realize that JJ doesn't have concrete blocks for feet.

Absolutely. He was a slippery frick.

JJ's strengths are just different than Nick's. The thing we have going for us......we have a HC that is an O genius and doesn't try to fit square pegs in round holes.
Gus, if I understand it right, is like a NASA rocket surgeon that thrives when trying to build something out of the random pieces in front of him.
Two years ago it was a speedy CB turned QB. This year he gets a Cam size guy.

Nicks style would probably work better against some teams as opposed to Jeremy's style this year but I wouldn't trade JJ for anyone in the SEC.
IMO, Prescott in your offense with Derunnya and Duke, would be unstoppable.

Yeah..going to be interesting. To your point, Johnson was VERY good against Arkansas in the first half last year...but there was something about Marshall when he came in for the 2nd half that lifted up the team...I don't know...maybe just because it was his team. That game was very tight though until Marshall came in

JJ's biggest problem is there isn't much he can do other than win a national title to prove himself superior to NM.
Even in the FSU loss NM played lights out and was the reason we had the game won till the defense folded. CWM theoretically should provide JJ with a much better defense so even if JJ's was to take a title he still may not have done as much as NM. The load NM was toting in 2013 was pretty heavy. He played above average in 2014 behind a overrated Oline.
I have little doubt of JJ"s skills. I look forward to seeing him perform under pressure. That is what separates talent from playmakers.

I for one am excited. This year will be the first time since Cam that we've had a true top caliber candidate playing the QB position. Nothing against Marshall, but he was a Kodi Burns 2.0 at the QB position: plenty of athletic ability but terrible accuracy. I only wish Sammie Coates had returned. He was wide open on a lot of deep routes and got overthrown at least 3 times a game. How many yards and TDs would Sammie have had, if Marshall had the touch and accuracy that JJ does?

This is crazy. NM is NOT Kodi 2.0. He missed some open targets but managed the 2nd best deep ball percentage. All QB's miss open targets. The problem with your last question is it fails to factor in other obvious issues.
How many sacks would JJ take because he doesn't possess NM elusive nature? How many late bullets that NM threw would JJ be able to throw because we have no idea how he will perform under pressure? The list is long. I expect great things for JJ but I fear for some Auburn fans that may not see the forrest for the trees.

His ability to complete passes after he had already crossed the line of scrimmage was unparalleled. Auburn is really going to miss that.

You are fricking drunk
Marshall was one of the best QB's we have had in a long time other than Cam.
Dude did exactly what he was asked to do and with very little head start. He made some serious plays for us.

Why would you post a picture that actually shows the point your are trying to make is false? The ball was clearly released before his foot crossed that line. Not to mentioned the computer generated blue line doesn't mean it is in the proper place. Those TV lines are more general guesses based on an algorithm than fact. Bam's you guys make me laugh.

LULZ. I think we have all seen that play 1000 times and not one person has ever said he was beyond the line other than a gump

I couldn't stand his illiterate arse but the dude had "it."

A lot of those late bullets were because Marshall had a problem reading his progressions too. From what I've seen from JJ, he goes through his reads much faster. Not to mention, he is a lot taller than Marshall and can see over the line. And he probably won't be getting near the amount of balls batted down at the LOS.
It doesn't take away what Marshall did for us over the past two season to say that JJ will be an upgrade at QB. Marshall played his heart out, and I'll always be a fan of him.

Nick was not used the same way he was in 2013. AU got away from the read option, with Nick running the ball. They wanted to pass more and use Coates and Williams to stretch the Defense. The problem was Marshall's accuracy beyond 15 yards.
Ummmm... NM's deep passing game was his strength.
What he struggled with was the short passing game.
