I’m sure there are other listeners on here beside you and I temperd.

I’ll let them check in with what they hear. I’m a supporter of their show for entertainment. But I am pretty good at listening to what people say

I'm not sure what happened between him and the staff to make him leave but
He sucked against GA ST, got benched and Finely pulled out the win. That's where it all started.

Whether of not Nix would be the best QB on the roster, if he stayed, is a moot point. With this OLine, the results would still be the same. Tom Brady couldn't win with that line.

If you are going to mention the good games, you have to mention the really bad ones too. Whole lot of those to pick from over his 3 years leading the offense.

Remind me, what was his roll in our almost upset of Alabama last year?

Yeah, but you have maintained that they hated on Bo for the entire season last year, which was not the case. They did when he was awful then you seemed to selectively maintained that they did for the entire season, where they in fact praise him. This leads me to believe you are just saying that to be contentious. You say their analysis is junior high or whatever, but I would say that it's better than you or I would do.

Mike actually did film analysis for the football team, back when I was at Auburn in the band, while also doing one of the first great video board videos with the Gladiator entrance. So it's not like they don't have some level of experience there. Sure fan, but they likely have some football knowledge, I'm not sure who actually played football though.

Finley (your boy that you wouldn’t shut up about) nearly has just as many bad games in a fraction of the PT. If you want to move on from Nix so be it. Let me hear it. Just admit you’re wrong already.

Who is they? People here wouldn’t shut about begging Bo to leave starting from week 3 when his Penn State game wasn’t even that awful of a game.

What was Finley’s ahem, role in the Iron Bowl. I’ve seen more than 10 points put up in 4 quarters against Alabama when we had worst teams and Bama had better defenses.

If you’re talking about the War Rapport fellas then Corch is correct. They were pounding that table that Finley was better.

Ha! I'm not Pro-Finely, I'm anti-Nix. Unlike you, I have an excellent memory of the 3 straight years he started. Florida and LSU two years ago, along with GA ST last year, are burned into my brain. Like a lot of people, I was slightly optimistic each year when the season started, that we'd see a marked improvement that comes along with age and experience. That never materialized. He would give us a good game, then proceed to shite the bed after that. Wash, rinse, repeat.

So you’re just an extremist on the other end of the spectrum that’s all. The end that doesn’t support Auburn players.

Did you see the Mercer game? San Jose State? Mississippi State? Etc? Have you considered it was less Bo and more Auburn that was the issue?

Yes, I saw our 5 olinemen getting no push, and getting routinely beat by 4 and 3 men pressure.

Says the guy who claims to be an Auburn fan, who has the Oregon logo next to his(?) screen name! I'm not sure Patrick white knights for Bo, as much as you do. It's sad and very telling.

Ok then. Bo had that same OL. What was the point of being anti Bo when you should’ve been anti shite OL.

Bo is an Auburn grad and I support him. One day you will have someone
in your your corner supporting you at your worst and then you can pay it forward.

Thet weren't all in on Finley or Nix last year until one of em screwed up. They were like you or me, get whoever out if they weren't performing. They weren't all Finley the beginning of this year, they thought he would start, sure, but they were hoping for Ashford or Calzada to step up

Mike video'd practices under Tuberville. I think he may have done some video of games from behind the goal post. I am not sure if any of them played. B-Will is the only one that knows what he's talking about and it's not X's and O's it's more how a game flows and ball watching plus he keeps up with the NFL.

I've seen most of their stuff. There is definitely SOME difference in their reporting. Sure they talk about it when Finley has been bad, but it is usually prefaced in the manner wherein it is implied that "aww shucks, he did all he could do and others screwed up as well so don't blame him too much."

With Bo, if he had a bad game, it was always centered VERY heavily on him. They made it a point to mention how he was getting good protection and "bailing" out of pockets. He did do that, but it's the same OL this year...so what changed lol? It was the same OL after Bo got hurt last season and Finley started getting sacked. When you listen to them talk about Ashford throwing a horrible INT, sure they bring it up, but there's also the element of "oh well they called a bad play for him and didn't put him in a position to succeed". I don't remember too much leniency for Bo in that regard.

I think that's the main difference. They really didn't give too much benefit of the doubt for a QB that actually did win some games, but they seem considerably more lenient for two guys (Finley and Ashford) who really haven't earned the right to get any benefit of the doubt.

Have you developed a callous on your chin yet, from Bo's balls bouncing off it

From what I've seen this year, Bo had a much better line than what's being put on the field this year. Regardless, Bo looked like shite last year. My advocating for Finely to play was along the lines of "It couldn't be much worse".........then we all watched the GA STATE game and saw the difference after the QB change.

Dude, they’re the same players. I have PFF grades from last year. Only difference is Bo escaped sacks more or threw the ball away. Nix took 11 sacks and threw 3 INTS last year. Finley has thrown more interceptions than that in 3 games and no telling how many sacks he took

You saw the difference between a cool backup versus a frustrated QB.

You saw the real differences between the two once the USCE, Bama, Houston, Mercer, San Jose State games came around.

If Nix played like Finley did against Mercer or Houston you’d have a come apart. But no you’re not being honest with us. You blame Bo for having bad games but crickets about our shittier quarterbacks.
