Prolly better than Bo

We are still having this discussion? Really?

You guys Both sides Nix fan boys and Nix haters… Do you want to win? Do you think that Harsin is doing the best he can to put us in position to win? If so then stfu about who plays and who doesn’t. I’m not a fan of Seth’s other then he’s an Auburn player but I’m not on here bitching every play and every game he has and we have seen for years he can’t catch a cold.

If you think Harsin is playing Bo at the detriment of the team then you think we have the wrong coach and we are wasting a shite load of money. So either trust the process or check yourself out until all we do is play for championships.

Baby arse fans!! I wanna win and I pay good money for a streaming service to watch my team win.

Now do OL, and I don't care what the receiver rankings are anyone can see the tremendous struggles they have had.

I am hard pressed to think of a worse combination than receivers who can neither get open nor catch.

Looking around for articles about Nix I think this was interesting:

As Bo Nix continues to grow, Cole Cubelic says, body language must improve

quote:

Body language.

“That to me has not really improved,” Cubelic said on Thursday. “You go back to TJ Finley when he came in against Georgia State and removing yourself from your teammates, going to the other side of the sidelines. To me, that’s unacceptable.

“Some of the reactions to when teammates have letdowns are very disappointing when I watch him. As the guy that played there and a guy that I feel like put in a lot of effort there and tried to be a leader at that place and in that uniform, I snapped the ball to quarterbacks who threw an interception. I snapped the ball to quarterbacks who handed it to running backs who fumbled the ball. I played next to two guards. Hell, I missed plenty of them. I had bad snaps.”

His point is stuff happens. How someone reacts in those moments ultimately defines what kind of leader - or quarterback - he will be.

“Ben Leard didn’t rip his chinstrap off and rip his mouthpiece out and slam his arms to his side like my 4-year-old does when he doesn’t catch a ground ball in t-ball when I had a bad snap,” he explained.

Cubelic, it should be noted, isn’t attacking the Auburn quarterback. He is simply pointing out an area of needed improvement, much like a parent does to a child, as indicated by his reference to his 4-year-old.

“To compound it all,” he added, “if you’re going to act that way, act that way when you screw up because that’s the part I don’t understand. If you’re going to act like a petulant child when your teammates let you down, act that way when you let your teammates down. It’s only fair.”

Cubelic can have his own opinion but I think these are different situations. A screw up here or there isn’t the end of the world. Bo is frustrated because he feels like he is left out to dry out there. The guy is running mileage just trying to escape the rush every play. That surely takes a toll on anybody. The eye test says he’s not getting any help, and being the QB he gets the bulk of the blame.

He is also competitive. He and Seth Williams had words too if your remember.

He is that. He just needs to channel the emotions better - and I think he can do that.

The GA St game was embarrassing and he had to watch TJ be the hero. But Bo didn’t quit. He played better the next week.

So maybe play TJ periodically to make Bo better?

Edit. Good win
