I still stand by my prediction that Bo will be a first rounder. Regardless of who the coach is.


Where is he transferring to then?

With how open Bama's WRs get hell I could be a first rounder and I'm almost 50. Those guys being covered they are open by 3 yards. That's a huge window to throw.

Why do you think Bo will be a first rounder? I have watched him since his Senior year of HS, and I struggle to find one skill he has that is elite.

Well if we just assume that Nix is gonna have a Burrow type breakout then yea i guess he will probably go round 1

Just from Nix's class these guys would probably be drafted ahead of him right now:

Sam Howell
Grayson McCall
Spencer Rattler
Jayden Daniels
Kedon Slovis
Grant Gunnell

Bo Nix does literally nothing that an NFL offense wants to see from their QB.

Piss-poor accuracy and ball placement. Bad mechanics. Terrible habits that he can't shake.

He's not Josh Allen - this isn't a case where the kid is 6'4+, top-level athlete, with a "special" arm and thus there is something for NFL teams to dream on. He's a 6'1 QB with an average arm, pretty good but not elite athleticism, and bad tendencies and habits. That is a mid to late round "project" QB, not a 1st round pick LMAO.

Bo has an NFL arm. NFL speed wanted in the league now. Only thing he doesn't have is minor mechanics and it's not throwing mechanics those are solid. It's lower body mechanics which are much easier to change. Game is still a little to fast for him and he wants to win to much. Yes taking chances can be a fault.

With consistent blocking he will shoot up on completion percentage from around 58-60 to around 65-68. He's already getting used to throwing to covered WRs. So that will be no shock to him.

Timing is another thing that is off for Bo. Not sure why so much because we rarely get an all 22 view on TV.

Bo has an average arm. It's not any better than Stidham's who is bigger and much more accurate and he went round 4

Posted on Rivals (so assuming TOS is 247)

Context: “Ron” is Ron Sanders. He has maintained that Gus will be out.

“TOS Update. Ron says he thinks Kevin Steele is high on the hotboard.”

Stick to coaching pee-wee baseball, or whatever it is that you "coach".

His completion percentage is inflated by the million garbage screen passes we throw - and he can't even place those perfectly LMAO.

He is an average QB with average talent. What the fuk are you even watching? The ball is all over the place with him - high, low, behind receivers...its EVERYWHERE. His timing is dogshit as well, as you correctly pointed out. He also seems to possess the Manziel-quality of playing with his arse on fire and thinking he can make plays happen. That shite doesn't work in the NFL and will be used against him.

If Steele is hired I swear I'm out on Auburn FB. I wouldn't be able to take that much constant ineptitude. I'm already an Atlanta sports fan

Bo and Stid's arm are about equal. Stidham had Ryan Davis who could get open short and Slayton who could get open deep. Bo doesn't have that. Worst group of WRs we've had in a long time. Even Nick who sometimes only got to throw it 10 times a game had Sammy and Duke.

Oh did want to throw some praise at Worm as well. Saw him stonewall 2 blitzers yesterday on 3rd downs. My question is and he's a tough kid why we only run the stretch to Tank. That's one thing we have been able to do with the run game this year is get to the edge. Not sure why we throw the single block screen when we are able to get to the edge running.

I hope in this context "high" is 4th behind names like Sark, Freeze, and cristobal

We threw a ton more screens with Stidham to Ryan Davis then we do with Bo now. So if you are gonna throw things out at least use correct facts.

I think Miss State last night half of their throws was within 2 yards of the LOS.
