re: It’s Bo Time!

just say he has to be black you racist bastard!

Hope you’re being sarcastic, but in this day and age, it’s very possible you’re being serious.

I was hoping for Gatewood but I’m ready to roll without Bo.

I will sit beside you. I felt Gatewood was the better style of QB for a Gus offense but I trust what the coaches saw at practice and not what we discussed here to be more reliable

quote:

He’s a better runner than most give him credit for.

Probably. But he looks small to me and some weight would do him some good. Im talking thin, not tall. I like his speed and I hope Gus has taught him how to carry the football. In all his high school videos, he is carrying it out wide like a loaf of bread. Dont like that.

The fact of the matter is Bo scored TDs in the scrimmages and Joey didn’t.

This is such a hard thing to determine. Who knows who was on the field. If he was allowed to read or just run a set play. I mean, we are talking about practice. Non contact practice.

I do agree with jville, which never happens, that Gatewoods upside is the hope that his size will help him run power. That gives our offense a different dimension if the Oline is subpar. Since we dont really know what they can do running the ball and we are basing our opinions on size and dimensions, I will just go with Gustav's decision and hope Nix balls out and is a 3 year starter for Auburn.

I will ride the bus, drive the bus or change a flat time. Whatever I am asked to do

I'm excited to see Bo at QB. Has to be one of the highest QB recruits we have ever had, and I'm hopeful that him beating out a freak athlete with 1 more year of experience is a testament to how good he can be. I thought he looked like the more polished QB in the spring game, by all accounts he has been the more consistent QB during fall camp, and I think he is way underrated as a running threat. Time will tell, but I'm excited to see it unfold in a few weeks.

And he had a lot of wide open receivers, because everybody was afraid of him running. Which is what Joey could bring to the table

I agree with everything you’re saying...but this board will not.

Go watch the highlights. By the end of his career, NM could spin it as well as any modern Auburn QB I've seen. Became an elite deep ball thrower.

Hasn’t it already been reported that Bo is faster than Gatewood? His ability to convert the short down and distance is what I liked most about Gatewood. Let’s not act like he’s a 4.5 type runner.

Here's the thing: whether or not you're discussing short yardage running ability, big play running ability, or scrambling ability, no one in here knows if Gatewood is actually elite at any of it. It's all speculative. It's all rooted in hope of seeing the 2010/2013 Auburn offenses reincarnated.

You act like Malzahn has a great track record for picking the right QB. Excuse me if I’m skeptical.

You’re probably not the expert on credibility right now. Not trying to pile on but you’ve had a rough August here

You may want to stay away from track record posts for a few months
