re: Bo Nix is 6-1.

I heard yesterday that Nix has only been pressured 28 times all season long and a lot of that was probably UGA. That gives me pause projecting optimism on his future. Nix doesn’t stand back there all day long, but he does operate in rhythm and that’s what he does well. When he was in rhythm at Auburn he did well. However, at the end of the day his performance characteristics at Auburn- escaping the pocket too early, erratic, happy feet, etc didn’t transfer to Oregon. People assumed that was because Bo sucked. Nope. Our offense sucked and some of opponents outmanned us. I’ve been saying this all year long….


The one team we beat while our offense was outmanned was when Bo had to do backward ball. And sure enough that’s probably why Ashford is playing. Making an offense out of jailbreak busted coverages. Clever as 3D chess I tell ya.

Aw come on. He's 6 2 on the roster. Which everyone knows is at most 6 1.5 in reality. Yes, considering he doesn't have "special" speed or shiftiness, this will cause scouts to pause. Won't be a deal breaker though.

You win not worth the debate or the time. Congrats.

Just give the man the credit he’s due. That’s all any of the Nix supporters ever asked for. Give credit where credit was due. And obviously he wasn’t the issue with the offense as everyone said.

All he had to do was just “throw the receivers open” amirite?

Will that make you STFU about the quitter then?

He wasn’t the main issue. Everyone knows the Oline and play calling has been the main problem for years now. Just like it still is. No quick slants, barely any crossing routes, etc. And just like what is going on with Ashford now, they didn’t play to his strengths.

Glad Bo is having a good year.

Nothing wrong with being a good college QB.

Very few become reliable pros for whatever reason.

What degree is he getting?

Was there something academically that drew him to Oregon?

QBs transfer a good bit in CFB especially now.

Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, have started QB transfers this year just in this league.

I probably missed one.

NFL is going away from your idea of a “prototype” qb. If guys can play, they can play. NFL doesn’t care as much about strictly measurables anymore. Sure they still matter but it’s becoming more about play and ability, which is what it should’ve been about in the first place. Bo will be fine from a height standpoint.

I don’t think Bo would make us substantially better cause I think our issues are more related to Line play (both sides of the ball).

Bo and his mobility covered a lot of holes in our o line play.

He already got a degree from Auburn.

He went to Oregon because it was a better football situation.

It's like if I graduated from Auburn with an accounting degree while I was a student basketball manager (who had college basketball coaching dreams) who then went to be a grad assistant the next year at Arizona because it was better for that dream.

Being a career NFL backup is way more about how good you are in the QB room and how adaptable/multiple you are than how talented you are. I’m not sure what Bo is like in that setting. I definitely think he’s talented enough to be a top 60 NFL QB at any given time but that’s not really what it is.
