it’s the fact that we got someone worst than Bo to replace him that pisses me off.


Last time I looked Calzada was ranked either ahead or tied with Nix in the transfer portal. Nix is not the 5* he was rated coming out of HS. If he were so great he'd have been snapped-up by somebody better than Oregon with a new staff.

The difference is Calzada wanted (past-tense maybe) to be in Auburn and Nix chose to leave.

Nix and Calzada aren’t 14. We don’t have to rely on arbitrary and capricious rankings anymore. There are plenty of SEC game footage and stats that corroborate my view. If worst case scenaro to my argument is Nix is only marginally better, was the QB change worth it? No. No it wasn’t.

Calzada is a much better passer than Bo, is better in the pocket, and is a tough leader. Hope we keep him because we definitely upgraded.

Based on what? His 56% completion percentage? Based on PFF saying he was the most inaccurate QB in the conference?

Agree. Until there is no pocket over and over and then he just imagines there is
never a pocket.

Sure I guess. He certainly hasn’t played the second half on a broke leg though.
