Dyer managed to have a 1,200-yard season despite Auburn's struggles on offense was a testament to his talent. Auburn's passing game and offensive line were in constant flux and Dyer still averaged 5.1 yards per carry with defenses focused on him.

That's why I was asking about the anger management thing earlier in the thread. The guy that told me, as far as I know, has no inside knowledge, but acted like it was common knowledge. I asked here, because I figured someone would be in the know. He also said he had failed 2 drug tests.

IF Dyer had an attitude, then that may explain him not getting the carries in certain agmes..

RockyMtnTigerWDE, NYCAuburn, TTsTowel -
Far beit from me to try to defend Alahunter (can't be done, nor would I try). I'll approach this from another level. AU has recruited at a very high level for 3 years. They have 4 & 5 stars on the o-line, d-line, WR, RB, and in the secondary. No one doubts (or, at least no one should doubt) that AU has talent. My concern if I were an AU fan would be talent development. The DBs didn't improve over the course of the year. The o=line didn't improve over the course of the year.
I think AU will replace Dyer - if he leaves - with a very talented player. I'm certain of it. I am not certain of how much that player will improve over the course of his season.
(no flame, btw)

I agree, and I hope he follows the strict guidelines Chizik gave him so he will play next year... However, many around the program feel he's already gone, and that Yeldon will get his chance against Clemson in game 1. Also, I've heard it is more than a drug test. He may have failed some classes and gotten in trouble for the whole gun situation.
Who knows, but it is definitely a low blow. He shouldn't have been so fricking stupid.

^the statement you quoted

you only have 2 scholarship RB's who've touched the ball left on your roster. "guys just as talented" sounds like what we heard about your entire team this year

Some have speculated this is the 2nd failed test because it is believed that the AU policy doesn't call for a suspension on the first failed test. I don't think anyone really knows right now.

Of course you didn't. Like I said, your hatred and inability to talk about or discuss anything without your emotional responses clouding it, is nonexistent. You can't even be honest about what you said just dozen or so responses back.
I explained why I said what I did. I assumed it would carry over to the name I gave you. Again so sensitive. You give yourself too much credit if you think I am putting a lot of emotion in this. By the way I find it ironic you would call someone out on their honesty about their intent, when you can't even be honest with yourself about what you are.

Watch out, brah, he will backpeddle and resort to calling you a child or kid. It's coming. It's inevitable.

I'm betting in the long run, most won't either. There'll be a statement that everything is an internal matter and he'll be there come springtime, or there will be a simple release saying he has left or is transferring. One thing Chiz does well, is keep things under his control as far as information release.

I just came back and saw the thread was at 6 pages and knew Hunter must be doing work.

I do not believe he has NOT failed 2 drug test, but I am getting my information second hand.. I do believe he may have recently failed one. I absolutely belive has some issues with going to class, etc... If he has failed two then he is done, end of story, but as I said I have been told that is not the case.

I've actually tried to discuss rationally and garner information, where feasible. Half a handful of folks had to immediately flame though.

I wonder if the fluidity at QB somewhat affected the development of the Oline. Having 3 qb's back there, with different skill sets had to have hurt some I would think.

That's what was said when we lost Julio & Ingram last year. Bama's O will be fine. They'll have more skill at WR than this year, and Lacy will prove to be one of the top 5 RBs in the SEC. Bama's O averages 30+ next year, which will be good enough for the 5th straight 10 win season.
We saw what they did against the only team with a good defense. They were above average on offense only because of TR, they made most of their money against the poor SEC Defenses. LSU knew if they stopped TR, then the game rested on AJ. I think they liked their odds with him.

Possibly. But I'm not in the mindframe of making excuses for the coaches at the moment. I didn't see any improvement in any area of the entire team, not just the OL. Has me worried for sure.

That too. I just think, the uncertainty of what Auburn really wanted to do hurt them some too, along with the inexperience.
