By play, you mean take a snap in a regular season game?
How big a bet?

Bo Nix will will be a legend before his time is done here at Auburn. Just a hunch
He has had legendary moments, and that can’t be denied. Oregon, of course. Beating Alabama. LSU on the road… He’s been a part of some truly amazing football. But he is going to have to stick around for another year and a lot of parts are going to have to fall into place for him to have that chance you’re speaking of.

quote:Yea - if he stays I think he'll certainly break some records. Legendary status, though? In my opinion, he just doesn't have the WR core to get there. A miracle on the recruiting front or transfer portal would have to bring in a WR that could instantly change the course of our season either next year or the next if he stays two years (he's got two more seasons of eligibility I think).

Regardless of our talent level next year it will be nice for Bo to break records. Pretty meaningless records given we were a running football team for so many decades and in the modern era we haven’t had a three year starter since Cox, but Nix still deserves the recognition. The records will hopefully get broken.
I can’t wait until the day Nix becomes our all time leading passer on 15-30, 180 yard performance and we are begging for the backup. Will be awkward.

Andrew Zow became Bama’s all time passing leader in the 2001 Iron Bowl, in which he was playing only because Tyler Watts (who had started their first 8 games) had a season-endung injury.
Bama fans had been bitching about Zow since ‘99.

Bo has improved a lot since last year. He has made some bad throws and bad decisions. I watched Mahomes do the exact same thing last week, and the week before. That dude is an NFL MVP. QB's are not going to make the correct decision on every play. Bo has had very little help from his WR's. We would be in no better shape right now if Aaron Rogers was our QB.
Some people just want to bitch about everything. There is a thread bitching about our radio guy.........of all things.

Honestly, sandwiched between schools that recruit better, he has to be able to spot that talent and further develop it.
I think Bo Nix has had some really good games and bad ones. But I love his fight. We really need at least one receiver other teams are scared of to help him out.

When Auburn signed Bo Nix, some publications had him listed as a 5-star recruit, setting high expectations for the high school senior. Because Jarrett Stidham elected to forgo his senior year, Nix was thrown into the starting lineup as a true freshman. He would end up facing six teams that would win at least 11 games that year, something no collegiate quarterback has ever faced as a true freshman. During his twenty-four starts as an Auburn Tiger against Power-5 competition, Auburn averaged only 160 yards rushing per game. Of those 24 games, 13 opponents had a winning record, and Auburn averaged just 124 yards rushing per game. His struggles were magnified in these games as he now became the focal point for any offensive success. During the 18 games Auburn rushed for at least 160 yards, Bo Nix was 18-3 as the starter, throwing for 26 touchdowns and only six interceptions. He was not good enough to carry the team when all else around him were struggling.
Bo Nix was placed into a situation of throwing more than 25 passes during 21 of 30 starts. Fifteen of his starts, Nix was forced to attempt at least 30 passes when the running game failed to deliver. The only Auburn QB with more than 15 games of throwing the ball at least 30 times was Stan White (18), who was forced to work through team struggles from 1990-1992. It was not until his senior year that White was surrounded with a good OL, running game, quality receivers, and good defense. He then became part of a great "team effort" that resulted in an 11-0 season. Auburn fans have witnessed this with many Auburn quarterbacks. Jeff Burger and Reggie Slack are fondly remembered because they beat Alabama and Georgia regularly. The truth is that both were surrounded by NFL talent and great defense from 1986-1989. Burger threw three picks against Bama in 1986, and Auburn still won. What do you think would happen to Auburn if Bo Nix threw three interceptions against Alabama this year? From 1986-1989, Auburn had seven games; the Tigers had to attempt more than 25 passes, rushed for under 140 yards, and the defense allowed more than 10 points. The Tigers were 0-5-2 during those seven games with a passer rating of 104.3 while scoring an average of 13.3 points.
From 1990-1995 (Stan White and Patrick Nix), Auburn went 3-6-1 under the same circumstances, scoring an average of 22.2 PPG, with a passer rating of 114.9. During the Jason Campbell era (2001-2004), Auburn was 2-7 during games; the Tigers attempted more than 25 passes and were held to under 140-yards rushing. The Tigers accumulated a passer rating of 107.8 while scoring 10 points per game. Campbell averaged only 16.6 pass attempts during 2002, teamed up with a solid running game and a stout defense. The following year as a junior (2003), Campbell was required to throw the ball at least 26 times on six occasions, where Auburn averaged only 103 yards rushing per game. The Tigers went 1-5 during those six games, averaging 10.6 points per game. During his senior campaign, Campbell was surrounded by a good offensive line, two first-round draft picks at running back, arguably the best WR corps in school history, and the No. 1 defense in college football. Jason Campbell flourished as the No. 2 passer in the nation that year, guiding Auburn to a 13-0 season.
Since 1961, Auburn is 8-70-1 in games the team had to throw more than 25 times, rushed for under 140 yards, and allowed at least 21 points on defense. That equates to once every 9.1 games since 1961. Bo Nix has been placed into that position once every 3.7 games during his 30 starts. Other than Dameyune Craig, no other AU QB has worked through Nix's issues from 2019-2021. At least during the 1997 season, Craig was blessed with a good receiving corps and a solid defense. From 2000-2020, SEC teams won only 16 percent of their games when throwing more than 25 times, rushed for under 140 yards, and allowed at least 21 points on defense. Auburn’s 8-70-1 record should speak volumes about every quarterback that played under those circumstances.
Bo Nix might not be the most talented quarterback to start for the Auburn Tigers and has yet to prove he can consistently carry the team by himself. There are very few collegiate quarterbacks that consistently carried their teams when all else around him failed. The few that have accomplished it were considered an exceptional or once-in-a-lifetime type of player. The truth is that Bo Nix does require a supporting cast to obtain the most of his abilities for no fault of his own. His 18-3 record with at least 160-yards rushing is confirmation that he can deliver with a supporting cast. The sad commentary is that we may never see it happen during his time as the starting quarterback, tainting his legacy as Auburn’s starting quarterback. Even if everything around Nix were operating efficiently, Bo Nix probably would not be one of the top QB's in the country, but I have no doubt he would perform close to what we all hoped he would be.
