Welcome to the life of a QB. They get most of the glory, and most of the blame.
As for the amount of passing offense we saw, I would’ve been more concerned if we didn’t open the game up given their rush defense.

Again, nobody is arguing against you here. You can drop the point. You’re arguing with yourself right now.

It really isn't reasonable to put this all on nix. He missed a throw. I know you aren't a Gus fanboy so I know you're thinking this too, but at the end of the day it's all Gus' fault. He recruits, he coaches, and this season he calls the plays. We were only in that position for nixs miss to matter because of abysmal play in the first half by just about the entire offense.
We also missed a kick but that's neither here nor there.

So who am I arguing with when Jones says Nix isn’t the problem, when he clearly was that play and then the next drive.

I’m not saying we didn’t have other issues.

I got nothing then.
Unless you count a DB playing his first year ever as a QB

You
-
Me: He should be behind the 8 ball. His last throw which can be completed by JV quaterbacks was crap and killed any chance of winning
You: “Nobody is arguing against this.”
lol

If you want to blame the whole loss on that play, then sure. We didn’t score in the first 3 quarters though.

I’m not sure, but you’re so absurdly focused on that one play, you are missing the forest for the trees of Jones’s comment.
Jones basically: “Nix made some extremely poor plays and some that cost us the game, but the coaches put together an awful game plan for a TF quarterback and have continuously put him in a terrible position all season, and having a different quarterback probably isn’t going to solve that issue. That is on the coaches.
What do you disagree with in that?

What about the drop by Seth on third down on the next drive? What about the fact that the OL let two guys rush basically untouched on fourth down?
The big issue from the game and what killed it isn’t that the QB missed an easy throw, it’s that we couldn’t piss a drop the entire game and had to play balls to the wall to catch up. We had 25 yards in the third quarter... 25.
I get you were a Gatewood fan (as most of us were). But your insistence that Nix is the only thing separating us from being a great team is laughable.

Manziel never started as a TF. He was a RS freshman when he got his first start......something Gatewood did not get a chance to do.

There were undoubtedly plays that could’ve been called differently, but there were lack of execution plays too. None bigger than that one. He’s got to perform there.

You didn’t get that from my language. Try again. I can show you a thousand posts that say otherwise. Apparently sharing the blame that can deservedly go around to others offends you though. Noted

We doing whataboutisms now? The first pass on the last drive was an errant pass. Second pass got ripped out of Seth Williams hands while getting mugged by not one, but two defenders.

Yet despite all that, we still had two realistic chances to tie the game. I love these arguments though. Also heard them when we heard “if Auburn deserved to beat Virginia, we shouldn’t have let it come down to bad calls.” IIWII, we didn’t play like the Kansas City Chiefs quarters 1-3, yet that still doesn’t make an errant softball throw on 4th down and game any less important or costly. Nix was the thrower. QB gets all the glory and the blame.

If you look back at my past post I have blamed execution.
At some point you must blame the one who prepares the players to execute. Something is off with the manner in which this offensive staff preps a team to play.
Every other staff except arkie in the SEC would have been undefeated with our talent and our schedule and would have played uga to a dog fight. Instead, Gus waits till Kirby goes into prevent to get back into the game only to be made to look like a fool once he comes out of prevent.

Yes. You posted the QB stats. Unfortunately for us, their QB made the passes that were crucial to the outcome, ours didn't.
Nix made errant throws in crucial times. That can not be denied.
I like Nix, and I think he may be a great QB one day, but that is unlikely if Malzahn is his coach.
