He’s a different QB when there’s no defense. His camp performances are why he earned his 5-star rating
Hope this helps him

Yeah sucks seeing our players putting in work on their own. Yeah yeah I know it's just because of his daddy and he's a legacy.
LOL. Probably had nothing to do with being the all-time leader in passing and TD passes in the state of Alabama.
Maybe set a pocket for the guy more then 3 times a game and get some WRs that can run routes and get open then maybe he can look like a 5 star.

No, it literally had nothing to do with that. Recruiting services do not hand out stars based off of HS stats - otherwise why wasn't Dee Davis a 5-star? Clint Moseley won Mr. Football in Alabama and he was a lowish 3-star.

Why, so he can roll out of it LOL? Do you know how frustrating it is trying to block for a guy who feels pressure even if its not there?

You’re taking something personal that isn’t about you. Which is fine, I guess. I’ve been saying the same thing about Bo Nix since he was a junior in high school. He’s really good when he doesn’t have pressure, when he doesn’t have a wrong decision on the table. It’s actually why I thought he could be great with Gus. Gus was best when he tailored his offense toward taking bad decisions off the table
I didn’t say anything about his work ethic. Or his dad, or where his dad played. You brought that in on your own.
Sorry if he’s your friend or whatever. I’m really glad he’s working hard. But he’s a different guy without a defense on the field.

What the hell kind of drill was that at the :30 mark in the video??
He takes a shotgun snap from center, then turns around and throws it at a guy 30 yards behind the LOS??
What the actual frick ??

Bo had a great high school career. 2 state titles and owns a lot of records. He also had a 56% completion percentage.
He wastes a lot of snaps. It didn’t hurt as much in high school but they’re killers in college when the deep balls don’t connect like they did in high school. He doesn’t get the mistakes that high school defenses made regularly.
Far from a lost cause but it’s hard to be excited going into his third year. I defend Bo about as much as anyone here but I don’t give out unlimited excuses. He’s earned a lot of respect in my book for the work he puts in. But my enjoyment as a fan comes from production and he just hasn’t made the leap yet.
As I said in my first post. I hope this off-season helps. I just no longer expect more from him.

If the WRs are remotely capable this year Bo will complete above 65%. Better pass route concepts. Probably better pass blocking. Better fundamentals. To move higher all depends on if Bo is willing to stand in there and complete those 3rd and 11's when he knows the LB is going to get a hit on him.
The spin around drill that was being worked was essentially a drill to anticipate someone coming open late and adjusting to make a proper throw.
Clint and D. Davis neither one have the pure arm talent of Bo. Not even close. Davis has a decent arm but not like Bo and he's 5'9".
What am I taking personal? Differing opinions aren't personal. It amazing me how people try to place tone on text on a message board.

Still makes absolutely no sense to practice something you would never, ever do in a game, but the next SEC QB I coach will be the first.

When you bring up his work ethic, his dad and that he’s a legacy when all I said is that he looks better when there’s no defense on the field — it lends itself to you taking it personally.
No offense, but you’ve never had great self awareness here. Just trying to help you out.
You’re a great poster when you don’t stray off comments and bring in a thousand other things that aren’t being talked about. Like Bo, I too defend you more than most here
We have a difference in opinion here and I hope you’re right and that I’m wrong. But I didn’t bring up work ethic, his dad, or where his dad played. You did. That’s on you.

Pure arm talent? Inaccurate and really doesn’t have a rocket. I’m just not sure what you see with him. Maybe he’ll take a step forward this year, but you always seem to make him out to be NFL talent, and he’s not.
Posted on 5/18/21 at 11:56 pm to TheJones
Self awareness? Y’all and the clique. You like who you like and attack who you don’t (not necessarily you just the board in general). No one can stray outside the group think.
Seth gonna be a first rounder!!! Remember those… top 3 WR in the conference. I do. So talent observation on here is severely lacking. What was I saying the entire time. Our best WR from Tuscaloosa Alabama didn’t even have a commitable offer from Bama.
And yes Bo pretty much has a rocket.
Bo needed a reset. He’s getting it. That excites me. If it doesn’t you then so be it but nothing at all personal to me about Bo. If anyone at AU was better I hope they play. If Findley comes in and takes the spot great. I want to win. Nothing else. Hope the best for the players but if they make it to the NFL great if not then tough. Given every opportunity to succeed at AU. The weight room, the diet and nutrition, competition, support staff and coaches. If you want it bad enough you can get it. If not they wouldn’t be at AU.

Corch, all I said is that he looks good without a defense on the field. Since that comment you’ve introduced his dad, his work ethic, Seth Williams, Bama offers, and TJ Finley.
I’ll leave my point there. Have a good night

I saw that. I guess that’s teaching the QB to identify and throw to the target without the peripherals engaged. Reflexive fire

Clint Moseley was playing in 2A lol
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle here. I think Nix was pretty clearly overrated as a recruit. But I also think he has shown glimpses that he can be a very very good college QB.

And his OL has sucked, too.

Agreed on all points. But I’m of the mind that #1 rated QB’s rise above that stuff. I like Bo and his potential more than most but I’m just confused about why he was so highly rated.
Posted on 5/19/21 at 8:51 am to AuburnFan2019
Bo will be fine. Or he won't play for Harsin. Simple.

Bailout Bo has Gus funk on him.
