Think it was a nod to your QB evaluations

Since when is Bo the backup at Oregon? I see nothing

Apparently Zevian Capers has been a stud and showing maturity at WR.

quote:
While running routes in the indoor facility two years ago, Luke Deal caught a glimpse of his new teammate, Ze'Vian Capers. That was all it took for the tight end to decide that he had potential.
"We're like, 'Wow, he could be really good,'" Deal said.
That potential could very well be unleashed this season as Capers has started to make huge impressions on his teammates and coaches. In Deal's words, the wide receiver has "matured a lot" and is ready to take the next step in becoming a reliable target for Auburn quarterbacks.
During practice on Tuesday, the 6-foot-4 junior made a catch that, according to his head coach, is not usual for most.
"We threw one – he was running a deep post; the ball was thrown over his right shoulder, he's running that way, it's thrown over his right shoulder, and he curves, turns and adjusts, catches the ball for a touchdown," Harsin said. "I mean, you don't see many guys do that."
Capers was a non-factor last season, pulling down six catches for 54 yards. For the receiver group to become an asset for the Tigers, he is one of the players that must step up. Capers' new position coach, Ike Hilliard, is helping him make that adjustment to a significant threat.
"Because of Coach Hilliard, he's really taken the next step," Harsin said. "He's a big, long target, and he's making a lot of plays for us right now."
Harsin also mentioned that Capers is one of the guys that is getting better each day, standing out among other players for how he's practiced. Playing time in the rotation is available, and if the Alpharetta, Ga., native can continue to make strides, he certainly will get more chances on game days.
For Deal, the better Capers and other receivers get, the better the team will be.
"That's a good sign for us," he said of Capers' play. "The more receivers we have out there winning one-on-ones and come down with the ball, the better it is for everybody."

Well, it’s not like Nix lit the world on fire either. But in the same situation as now: if there isn’t a great passer on the team, give me the most dynamic runner.

Ohhhhh shite the Capers hype has me erect. 6’4” let’s go

I’m gonna pump the brakes and assume that means he knows when to be on the field, what play was called and the correct route to run, after last years debacle at WR.

no way man, full speed ahead. Capers is going for 1200 yards, 18 TDs, going to win the funky name WR award

I would chalk that up (penn state game) to Jake crains crush Corndog. He had no idea what he was doing

I wonder how many more of these unoriginal posts we will get before the season starts.

I guess I should talk about former players in this years fall camp thread.

It would be an improvement

This excites me. He played a lot as a true freshman under Gus and then hardly at all last year under Harsin. My best guess based on what I know about Gus and Harsin, is that Capers probably has a lot of natural talent, but wasn't where he needed to be mentally or from a maturity standpoint to start for Harsin. If he corrects the latter and earns playing time this year, he could have a big impact in the passing game.

He has some go get the ball talent that we missed last year if he can answer the call.

Hoke said that the WR's were still dropping too many passes "all summer".
I think we need to take a bit of a more realistic stance with the hype. I'm already seeing Za'Vian Capers back to being a star, Camden Brown looks like a STUD, Landen King is Kyle Pitts, etc.

There was a report the other day during the viewing session that the WR's didn't drop a single pass during some portion of 1v1 drills or something. Basically, the truth is always in the middle of what reporters report.

Meta- this is our 0 losses so far thread
Cautious skepticism is not welcome here.
As for Camden, I don’t know much about him. Zevian, though, has the tools. All it takes is to get right. I agree about Landen King
