That very well may be, but the coaches aren’t demanding more of one player or the other, especially not to the point that it would give anyone an indication of who the starter is, that’s my point. If our coaches are actually holding two players that are apparently equal in their bid for the starting job to different standards, they should be fired right now.

Just for the record, I m just reporting what the insiders are telling Marcello. If you have a problem with this one, you should probably disregard everything else I just posted.
Next, I find it plausible it could be a smokescreen.
Lastly, I find it plausible that the coaches know where they’re leaning and coaching one harder than others. Apparently Gus was highly critical of a Nix low pass even though it resulted in a TD to Sal. That’s next level criticism and haven’t read anything like that about Gatewood.
Edit: As an aside, I see a bunch of posters on 247 are complaining about all the Bo nuggets and nothing about Gatewood. Maybe the insiders just have a hard on for Bo.

I’m not criticizing you, I’m criticizing Marcello’s take.
I don’t necessarily disagree I guess. We also really haven’t gotten any reports on Gatewood. Gatewood apparently struggled in the scrimmage. The way Marcelo is reporting, it makes it seem like Malzahn wasn’t really demanding the same from Gatewood. That’s where I call bullshite.
This is the second or third thing I’ve read from Marcello making a stretch to read into Nix being the starter. I think it’s just what he wants. It may be Nix in the end, he is a great player, but I’d be worried if our coaches are clearly allowing one player to make mistakes that they aren’t allowing another.

This has been my take as well. It has been a little odd. Tate has done similarly as well. He called Nix having the lead because he came out one day with the 1st team for one drill

I don’t care if Nix wins the job

Is this satire? One of the stupidest things I have read concerning the QB battle.

Our insiders don’t know shite, we know this by now fellas

It can be satire if you take it out of context. Nothing is being reported at all about Gatewood, good or bad.

I was the one on 247 who called Marcello out about the Bo and Gatewood nuggets. Im Wintf on the Bodda Getta.
Its facts that the info being put out is a bit slanted toward Bo. Maybe its by design but to me it seems like the Insiders have a hard on for Bo Nix.
I get it, and Im not against Bo playing, but i know Gus hates turnovers more than anything so I dont think Bo has the upper hand after hearing about the scrimmage.
Its almost like the insiders are thinking as a head coach and who they want to start vs saying what they actually see in practice.
Its literally impossible for Gatewood to not have one amazing throw or run or play in this fall practice but we havent got that type of info yet.

Neither one of those things are “literally impossible”.

That wasn’t the point of my post who is getting more press. The fact someone thinks Nix getting next level critique suggests he is the starter is comedy to me. Whether it’s in context or not. That kind of thinking is next level stupidity.
Unless they are being complicit in misdirection for Oregon to heavily prepare for Nix, and JG is the starter.

I’m not suggesting that. I’m saying these insiders are attributing all the reports to Bo as if he’s the only one getting attention. Heavily slanted material. The only thing about Gatewood every time is “not as polished, but oh he will play game one.”
Title of the article was “Perfection at QB...” and only talked about Bo. Didn’t say one thing about Gatewood until the same “oh he will play too” blurb.

That would be great

Go back under your bridge.
Every one of you knows that our insiders don't know shite about what's going on. You also know Gus is paranoid as frick.
I think it's a good bet that Cord gets the start against Oregon. Gus is playing 4d chess while y'all are playing checkers.

Truth. With how I know Gus is about info, the fact we hear almost nothing about Gatewood, that’s as good of an indicator as anything else anyone has tried to pass off as a key of a starter.

From Rob Pate
quote:
I was at this practice. Gatewood is impressive, as is Nix. Both will play because both provide different skill sets and neither has proven he can lead the offense to scores in battle yet. I can definitely see the first guy to harness that trait as QB1. Gatewood’s best attribute may be ball security and tucking and running. He doesn’t get the hype out of practice reports because you can’t judge those things accurately when he isn’t live and the whistle blows the play dead. What looks like a defensive win may actually turn out to be their worst nightmare. To me, Bo has a different zip on the ball than Joey, but it’s not a night and day type of difference. Gus was certainly all over Nix—both in ball placement and for putting the ball on the ground. Both seem to stand in the pocket well and both seem to have a good grasp and command of the offense. I don’t see a scenario where the team doesn’t get behind one of these QBs. No doubt they have a guy they are closer to, but they also know both will be required to win games at some point. Both seem to lead well. This team looks mature and well led to me. Defense is chock-full of leaders and they are playing fast and aggressive and look capable of letting a young QB build weekly. All that to say, Nix likely gets more pub because he’s a newer commodity (new QBs are always the answer), Gatewood has been committed so long he’s sort of taken for granted, Gatewood’s power and size and effectiveness with his legs can’t be judged in practice, Nix is fearless and has great zip, Nix is a legacy name at a place we love to love our own. Gatewood was cool and crisp yesterday. Didn’t seem to panic when a play wasn’t there, and that may end up proving to be a huge plus for him. Nix looks like the type to believe he can fit any ball into any window—it’s a good problem to have at Auburn. It will have to play out in September.

And I don’t agree with it all. Joey may have a year under the belt but he is just as unknown.
