re: A list of the reasons Bo left Auburn

quote:

I never hated on Bo, I wanted the kid to be successful. I related to his life-long Auburn fandom.

I hope he finds what he's looking for somewhere outside the SEC. Sadly, I think his Auburn legacy will forever be tainted. He'll be seen as a quitter and I can't really see him being "welcomed" back to the Plains as an alumnus. Maybe Auburn fans will be more magnanimous, but there was enough dislike of him when he was the starter among some fans, that if the rest join the chorus after he quits, there'll be no welcome back.

If he plays somewhere else in the SEC, he better love that place, because that will be his forever home. He won't be seen as a quitter, he'll be forever seen as a traitor.

I know he's a grad transfer and not a "transfer portal" guy, but I'm overall sad to watch a sport I've loved for over 40 years, deteriorate into the NFL-light.


I'm not hitting the panic button on Harsin. I still believe we've gotta ride with him for 2-3 years, and see if he can build it.

Yes I agree 100%. I really hate to see him go. He is different than a lot of players here. He is a legacy, he was a lifelong fan. I think he was always looked at as the 'coaches son" because of his dad. I dont like the idea of him leaving for anywhere. Its just the mentality of today

I said it before and I remain by it, I dont think Bo has NFL talent and I do not think he will ever play in the NFL and be effective. He just does not have that kind of talent. Its not coaching or his injury. Its just the fact that only a few people who play ever are good enough to be a effective NFL Qb. He is not one of them. Same thing I said about Stidham. Bo is a college QB at best and I think he could have done better than he did but he was never going to be a pocket passer overall.

I agree that he will probably never be welcomed at Auburn and I really cant blame the fans and allums. Dude quit on Auburn when they needed him. Plain and simple

Will your opinion on that change if he goes somewhere else and plays well and scouts notice he’s better with good receivers and OL? Or is he forever a quitter to you?

I certainly agree and don’t think he’s an NFL talent but I don’t think it’s written in stone either. If he goes somewhere and turns into a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick he gets that last laugh here. The situation wasn’t going to improve at Auburn. Not this coming year.

We are talking about him having a chance to go earn millions here. Not a lot of jobs like that. Though I think if Bo is smart he should start angling for the talking head circuit. Former QB’s with recognizable names normally do quite well there.

I dont consider him a quitter. A lot of fans and allums will. I dont know his reasons for leaving. Maybe Harsin is not the easiest guy to get along with? I have no idea. A lot of players have left since he came here. He seems like a straight forward, no bullshite guy but can you be that way with these soft kids today? Yes I know Saban can but he is Saban and has the reputation and tropy cabinet to be a dick. Harson honestly has not done anything yet.

I kinda dont blame Bo right now. If he did think he had a chance at the league, maybe they had a place in mind for him to go and give it a try. It was pretty obvious that it was not going to happen here. We are a dumpster fire right now and the future looks pretty shitty for at least a few years. No real talent coming it currently.

After what has happened to some of the transfer quarterbacks, I dont blame them anymore for moving around looking for a better environment.

Pretty bad that I never saw that till you mentioned it.

I don’t have a problem with anyone wanting to leave after a coaching change. I know they committed to a school, but they also committed to a coach, style of play and coaching style. In Bo’s case, he loves auburn, there is no doubt of that. He graduated and wants to go enjoy himself his last year of playing and that won’t happen next year at auburn. Next year, I have a pretty good feeling, is going to be a rough go and this is why I also don’t necessarily blame tank if he leaves. He can go somewhere with a good line, put up numbers and be a first rounder. Following the line we have, he would really get beat up.

Lanier with the receipts

Oh my bad for assuming that our shitty offensive line would still be shitty next year. Portal or not, it takes time for a line to gel together so the odds of it being bad again are good.

Never cared for him. Always said he was too inaccurate.

Bye felicia.

Sure looks that way

Going good. Got another 4 1/2 years before we move when the kid graduates. Explosion in construction is gonna have this place as congested as Johns Creek in no time. Not to mention the morons that have taken over the Gwinnett BOE...time to gtfo.
