I assume we have another QB race happening this Fall?

No. WB will backup JS.

Given where we are now, I am glad we have Chip Lindsey.

While I will stay optimistic about Stidham being a Jedi-level QB, I am concerned about Stidham and White staying injury-free. Hopefully, there's a lot of QB development going on right now with Woody and Malik.

As long as peanut brittle isn't the qb, I'm happy.

Good. Don't just hand anyone the job. Need a culture of competition instead of Gus trotting out his favorites while good players rude the bench.

How do you know the bench wasn't rude first?

IMO Malik Willis will be our best backup QB, although I don't think we'll toss him out there this year should Stidham come off the field.

Why do you think WB will be backup? Why will it not be SW if he is not named the starter?

And I guess Malzahn will not name a starter in the spring bc White will not be full strength to compete?

JS will barely beat out SW. WB will be third string. MW will redshirt. JF3 and TQ will be fantastic clipboard holders.

Do we even have room to take 2 qbs this cycle? If we do we would have 7 scholarship QBs. That is poor roster management.
Seniors:
JF3
Juniors:
SW
Sophomores:
JS
TQ
Freshman:
WB
MW

i could be wrong but I dont think Gus can afford for Stidham not to be the guy. We have seen the Sean White show and we know where that is going. A lot of hype around Stidham. I think he is the guy for now.

I love Barretts upside and Malik Willis will have his chance. I just dont see it being this year.

I do like that it "appears" we have some options

While Jarrett Stidham is still learning the offense, maybe. Once he knows it, it's all over with.

Battle in spring, competition over in summer (obvious, I know).

Somebody will end up leaving. Very surprised that JF3 didn't. It's either Queen or Barrett. If woody ends up third sting after spring camp this year, I could see him leaving. He doesn't have the upside that Malik does.

Sean White is reportedly out for the spring.

There is no competition here. Stidham is the starter; not any different from when we brought Newton in.

I wouldn't go that far on Woody vs Malik. I would assume Queen is gone after this year for sure. JF3 possibly or at least moved to another position.

I have been buying stock in Malik Willis since he come to Auburn but lets be honest, we have zero idea what Woody Barrett can do or what his ceiling is.

I personally see more upside in MW.

That's not the point. WB may feel he can start sooner somewhere else if he ends up being the third string QB this year.
