Arguing between the current QBs is pointless. None of them are good enough right now. None of us know what they can develop into.

We’d all like to bring in a guy that we know is good.

We were two gags away from doing so this year with zero offensive talent, a coaching staff, and in his first year getting playing time.

I’ve made my thoughts on it known. I’m not fighting, just discussing, and laughing some.

What else are we going to do till Spring? Of course there will be plenty of speculating taking place. You’re not new here,

horseshite. Bo Nix had just as bad an OL and he performed light years ahead of Robbie. Yet Bo got shite on by most of this board, yet yall take kids gloves to Robbie.

Robbie is not a Qb and should be running with the WRs. Its just an uncomfortable fact that some of you will have to live with.

Finley can't even hand the ball off without the rb tripping over his feet.

and a fumble at the goal line away from only having 4 wins.

sub 50% completion, terrible Qb rating, worst in the SEC. but yeah, he is a shoe in for the starting role and will lead us to victory!!!

Robbie should go see if Butch needs a solidly just below average outfielder, be a 2 sport "player"

On behalf of Jones and others I would like to kindly ask we get back to recruiting discussions and any available news. I know that Robby is tied to the recruitment of a QB, but it has veered way off. I am including myself into this as well. I am also taking Jonesy’s excitement away to call everyone to order as well.

I've got more hope of Freeze//Montgomery/Davis fixing TJ than i do of them getting Ashford to be a adequate passer. He is at least semi accurate.

Doesn’t bother me. We’re at the end of this thread and some things just need to be discussed

I doubt Robby would start at any other SEC school. He shouldn’t even be in the discussion hoping we bring in 2 transfers

With average SEC talent and coaching Robby Ashford can have a winning record, that's all I'm saying. Do I think Auburn is going to win anything of significance while he's here? No, I do not. Do I think Auburn should go into next season counting on him to be the guy? No, I do not.

That said, he had moments of immaturity but he also played his arse off through a really difficult situation. Not sure what people get out of constantly shitting on him. Especially the same people who will blow Hugh Freeze who is significantly more deserving of derision.

Hugh was worthy of derision during the hiring process when we could single out and praise whatever we wanted. We lost. Since then he has done everything you could expect out of our HC. You don’t have to jump on board but you have to at least take the next few years in stride. Your contempt for Freeze cannot override your Auburn fanhood.

As for Robbie, I liked the way he played post 1st half of Ole Miss. He is a gutsy quarterback that plays hard but whines off the field. He only deserves a shot at QB1 next year. He earned that. I hope we get someone that is better than him though.

And what do you get out of trying to stick up for the guy? He sucks as a Qb. He is statistically the worst in the league, yet for some reason, nega tigers like yourself are giving him a pass. Makes zero sense.

Still bitter Freeze is recruiting his arse off and making you eat your words huh? You'll be sucking him off soon enough. ooooh yeah!

I appreciate anyone who goes out and leaves it on the line for Auburn and think it's distasteful to hammer on about a kid who is doing his best to represent Auburn as best he can.

My issue with Freeze was never how he was going to recruit or perform on the field. Time will tell in that regard.

For me it is irrelevant though, no amount of five stars or wins is going to change my opinion on being wholly against a phony crusading pedo coaching our football team and being the face of the university.

Also, at a big program with immediate playing to offer at virtually every single position on the field we have 1 of the top 45 transfer portal players in the country. Yea, we got bodies so we can field a team next year. He isn't bringing in difference makers.

Link it.

I have been very critical of our coaching and our recruiting/talent level as a whole. It is extremely rare for me to call out individual players and certainly not repeatedly over the course of several months.
