re: Queston about the Auburn QBs

It's JFIII's job to lose.

Agree. Auburn's offense worked well under Cam and Nick because we ran the ball well all three of those years. Cam was a great passer but it was his ability to pick up first downs with his legs that made our offense so tough to stop.

I think that White is the best QB on the roster but I think that's irrelevant because he doesn't work in our offense. For that reason, I think that Queen, Franklin, or Woody would be better for us

The fact that many Defenses were not scared of the QB running was a huge factor imo. One of the most annoying things when playing against Nick and Cam is that you really had to stay disciplined on defense.

Take away that impressive OT win Jacksonville State and shootout vs Idaho and JJ has the same record as Sean.

And you take out San Jose State and Memphis (since he did pretty much nothing for us that game) and he sucks even worse.

These "what-ifs" work both ways.

Excuse Sean for being a freshmen dropped in the middle of SEC play and given some of the worst play calling I've ever seen

-RS freshman.
-Play calling isn't going to change. Same crew that called them last season are still in place

No one knows for sure but I know what Auburn's offense looked like when it was at its best under Gus.

---

Yeah, balanced with Cam. Sean and a running game that focuses more on the RB gives us the best chance for balance.

2013 offense was great, but it was one dimensional. And in 2014 once teams had seen it and had game tape we sputtered big time. As a passer Franklin has much experience as Marshall did coming in. No way he has a strong an arm though. But teams will be expecting us to run the offense like the 2013 offense. Best case scenario Franklin is a marginally better passer than 2013 Marshall, we're looking at another 8-5 season.

Come Dec. when Gus gets his walking papers, I think Sumlin would be a good fit.

You're very sloppy here, but I'll counter anyway.

2013 we were one dimensional because we didn't need to be anything other than one dimensional. Tre Mason, G-Rob, Prosch had the running game nearly unstoppable.

The difference in '14 and '13 wasn't that defenses figured out how to shut down the run. The difference was that we lost Mason and G-Rob to the draft, and Prosch ran out of eligibility. We wouldn't have been as dominant in '14 with all of the same guys but the difference would not have been so extreme. But please, continue to forget that we lost the core of what made us that great in '13

in '13 we lost 2 games. So you're saying that with a better passing Nick Marshall, we'll lose more games?

You're sloppy, man. Sloppiness happens when you know that you're full of shite and you don't believe what you are pushing

If going 15-0 and winning the Ship is depressing then I am in

When did Rhett join the staff and does anyone really know how much influence he has in the play calling?
