That doesn’t sound like a bad landing spot for him. They might suck but they run the ball.

Obviously they don’t suck as much as they did when Urban was there but they were average last year and beat average teams.

They beat the chargers in the wild card

They lost in the divisional. They needed two more wins to get to the Super Bowl. Stop trying to spin cycle this shite.

Last game doesn’t count. Mahomes got that Bud Kilmer shot at halftime.

I have really never understood the disrespect for Tank Bigsby that a large portion of AU fandom had for him.

I mean, he only averaged OVER 5.5 ypc in his AU career behind OL’s that were utter shite. And that being, year after year, one of the leaders in the country for rushing yards gained AFTER CONTACT.

But that’s Auburn “fans” for ya in a nutshell.

I’m pretty lukewarm on Tank.

I don’t hate him by any means but he was not the best RB on the team.

I don’t know that Tank was elite at one thing either.

Auburn fans in a nutshell: criticize and undermine good Auburn players (who actually perform) ad nauseum, then turn around and blindly defend and hype up non-contributors or career backups.

It's rinse and repeat the same idiocy. Remember when Jarrett Stidham "didn't care about winning"; meanwhile Robby Ashford is now Captain Auburn for some undetermined reason.

The same people couldn't stop criticizing Darius Slayton for any mistake he made, all the way up to calling him an idiot for declaring for the draft...even though he was quite clearly a good WR (one of the best in recent AU memory) who was used poorly in a bad passing offense. Those same people will fight to the death to tell you how the current batch of receivers who haven't done shite are actually all great .

At Auburn the backup is always the best player on the team, and the NFL talent is always "not living up to expectations". It's not even exaggerated; if you all remember there was serious discussion about how Roger McCreary allegedly "declined".

Bro you callled Malik Willis a fricking Ferrari compared to Bo Nix, a Kia. Titans are already ready to be done with your boy.

You are being a drama queen.

Tank was fine but he was clearly drafted a step below some of his peers. Two backs were taken in the top 12, he was pick 88. And I think the draft positioning amongst Tank and the players before him are accurate. If he had better hands he would’ve been a better prospect. He has a great frame but he really isnt elite in anything beyond his elite *name.* He also single-handedly lost the Iron Bowl for us. That pill does not get swallowed easily.


For those that say Tank didn’t single handedly lose that game for us, frick off. I saw what I saw.

You already used this one once. Got anything new?

I'm being a drama queen? I never said anything about Bigsby or even claimed that he was amazing LMAO. He went about where he should have went. It sounds like you're the one being a drama queen. Tank is a good RB and the fact that he was the 7th RB drafted (three of them went within ~8 picks of each other) is a win for him.

I never claimed that he was the best RB in the country so I have no idea who you think you're talking to. Do you think that it's a failure for him to be drafted #88? Why would I care that two backs were drafted in the top 12? Those two are clearly better than him. Being drafted in the 3rd round as a RB is an accomplishment, not something to be shamed.

By the way, Jarquez Hunter hasn't proven shite in terms of being "the best RB on the team". What, he had a few good games as the #2 back with the attention off of him? He very well may turn out to be better than Tank, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. Hunter ate shite against virtually every non-garbage opponent in his true freshman season (go check the game by game stats kiddo) and he was good this past season. Tank was also good. But alas, the "story" by people like you is going to be that Tank was underwhelming but Hunter is amazing. The #2 RB always has an easier time. They are fresher and generally get to attack the defense in non-obvious situations.

By the way, who was it on here that thought that the NFL would draft Pappoe high because he ran fast lol?

Unproductive, undersized, injury prone, doesn't play anywhere near his timed speed, and poor instincts. The fact that he ran a 4.3 is meaningless lol.

Pappoe went higher than any of us expected even being drafted. Dude was arse at AU.

I’m happy for him and Auburn maybe he can find a niche and hang around in the Leo for years.
