No, I witnessed 3 seasons of Nix against premiere SEC talent, and watched 55-60% completion percentage.
That's fine, but unless you aren't paying any attention at all, NONE of these guys that we are currently starting in place of him are even going to do or accomplish what he was able to do, as flawed as it may have been. So what is your point? We're better off by playing inferior players and losing more games than Nix ever would have lost? What?
Nix actually won some SEC games in case you forgot. Who the hell is Robby Ashford or TJ Finley going to beat this season? We couldn't even "beat" Missouri, they literally just beat themselves. With this exact same OL and the same idiot HC, Nix beat Ole Miss, LSU, and Arkansas last season. He played well in all three of those games. He played well against MSU as well (we were up big with him) before he got hurt.
So again, what is your point? This team is currently on pace to win maybe 4-5 games with QB's not named Nix. Nix never did that, and it's largely the same roster. But please continue to spin yourself into believing that we're somehow better off that he left? Even arguing that he's "padding his stats against bad teams" is insulting considering that the guys that are currently playing here couldn't even do that against Mizzou and freaking San Diego State.

Magically, playing in a weaker conference, he’s doing better.
It's not "magically" - he also has a better supporting cast and coaching around him, and you are legit retarded if you think it's just a change in competition (what, BYU isn't a good team? Mizzou is a tougher opponent LOL?). Which means that he was actually victimized here and wasn't the "problem", as he had always been made out to be (I did it as well). The exact same issues are still present without Nix, except they're even more noticeable because he actually managed to play through it from time to time. The guys we currently have cant do that, I don't understand how that couldn't be any more clear.
For example, do we still believe that Nix "bails out of the pocket cause he's scared" after seeing this OL this year lol? All Robby Ashford can even do is hope that he can bail out and find open receivers on broken plays, or scramble for yards.

Man I give you credit. You know how to double down.
You should just drop the Bo hate. Dude is 50 times better than anyone we have on our roster and it it very easy to see. Having him this year would not have made us a contender but it would have kept us from being the laughing stock of the SEC.
Im not waving the Bo flag, he made the right decision in my opinion but having him leave was a huge hit
TJ is as bad or close to as bad as Jeremy Johnson and Robbie is not at the point in his career to try to pull this team along.
Your constant battery against him is just laughable and most here can see it. Dude took Auburn on his shoulders and won some big games here. I dont see anyone on our current roster doing that

Bo: 3 year starter
Ashford: 2 starts under his belt, 5th game overall. Red shirt freshman

Just look at his current stats and it tells the story. He’s higher In every rating right now. One can brush it off that it’s because he’s in a weaker conference, but that is just being intellectually dishonest.
H is actually getting protection and it helps he is quite experienced. He also again is playing in an offense he was familiar with. I don’t get the need to downgrade his accomplishments. He’s playing really good football right now.

Y’all bitched for the three year starter with a 61% completion percentage to leave.
Ashford isn’t even a redshirt freshman. He’s a RS sophomore and it remains to be seen if he’s going to make the leap to be our steady QB or not., especially under a different staff.

Unless he can block or play LB or DL we don’t need him. We have to shore that up quickly

I’ve come to the conclusion that greygoose is a fricking moron.

Thank you for all that, but I hate to break it to you, and the OP, but Bo Nix doesn’t play at Auburn anymore, he left on his own, so I’m not sure the purpose of the thread other than some bleeding Bo Nix hearts.

We are not a bottom dweller feeder team to supply good players elsewhere. We are a football factory.
Bo Nix, Pegues, Tennison, Tashawn Manning, Shaun Shivers, Tyrone Truesdell, and Daquan Newkirk all took their services elsewhere to P5. Before Harsin our scraps went to the poors and only Malik and Cowart were the exception that played up. Cowart didn’t even really play up at Louisville. He made it to the NFL on talent alone.

Agree. And not really fair to Bo either way. Just gives the hardline anti-Bo guys ammo to start a thread when he fails. Best to move on and focus on AU.

Sports Reference has him listed as a sophomore. 
I said I have no clue how he is a redshirt freshman into his third year (aka draft eligible after this year) How is he 20 years old, draft eligible, and a redshirt freshman, astute mensa man? And then explain to me why he needs more than grace than Bo when he was an 18 year true freshman playing on the road at Florida? Does the fact that he sat 4th string both years make it so that he needs more leash?

He's a "Redshirt Freshman" because of COVID technicality. I don't see exactly what you're trying to prove here: Bo Nix was a member of the 2019 HS class, while Ashford was a member of the 2020 HS class. They are literally one year apart.
The reason why Ashford has so much eligibility left is because he couldn't get onto the field at Oregon and the COVID situation allowed him to pause his eligibility status. When you say "one guy is a Senior, the other is a Redshirt Freshman" you are skewing the meaning of those words and terms to tell the story that you want to tell.
Robby Ashford is not a "young" QB. He is inexperienced, but that is largely because he just wasn't good enough to play. By actual seniority, he is a Junior. He is from the same HS class as TJ Finley...who is a Junior.

Against a Stanford team that has 1 win vs an Ivy League team. They have surrendered 40pt or more in every PAC 12 game this year. Bo is the same dude that he was here feast on inferior teams, but against good teams he is awful. Go back and watch the AM game last year that’s who he is.

He has major accuracy problems. Doesn't help his coach is an idiot. When LSU could not pass, they just ran their QB. Shocking adjustment I know, but it appears Kelly is interested in winning the game.
